This is the Lincoln Reflecting Pool in Washington DC, a treasured landmark seen in many iconic images and films. The mad king had it drained so that the bottom could be painted blue, adding an over-saturated “ocean” color.

Out of that list I’d say 2 apply (but they’re really the same thing), 4 are maybes, and 9 don’t apply to King Charles. He has very little real power. Influence, maybe, but the royals have a policy of never speaking on political topics.
You haven’t got a king in the US. You’ve got a dictator.
I think this one is concrete, so at least it’s potentially fixable or replaceable. The “dingy gray” granite building Trump has directed be painted white is, so far, protected by more bureaucracy. If he pushes that through, the damage will be irreversible.
Which apparently benefits from having a dark bottom to aid in the mirror effect, you know, to reflect. The blue bottom is going to reduce the quality of the reflection.
No you don’t get it, pools have blue vinyl. All the best pools have blue vinyl, anyway. I know pool experts - the best experts, and they say it’s gotta be blue.
I’m too European to understand, I get that it’s a Trumpism but what has he done this time

Why though?
he has pedophelia constantly nagging at his periphery, he needs constant media distractions.
So we are not talking how to dethrone a pedophile loser put in power by racist trash manipulated by oligarchs.
To distract from his child rape in the Epstein files and enrich his fellow oligarchs at the public’s expense.
Is it working?
gestures in an exasperated manner at our surroundings
Emphasis on ‘mad king’
It does get refurbished every so often. That’s his excuse for making it tacky, the way he prefers things.
he likes anything gold, even if the gold is just a foil on a crappy surface.
This is true, but think of things on a large (soon to be bankrupt) casino scale. That’s where we get this pool from.
Why indeed
Wait? What? I haven’t seen this in the news. It’s very stupid.
I thought it was a parking lot, and was very confused.
He’s not quite king yet.
He already is king in everything but title…
Even the British King only scores 10/15 on that list. Maybe Trump wants to be an Ayatollah instead of a King.

You haven’t got a king in the US. You’ve got a dictator.
As long as he stays in that office, he’s immune to prosecution or litigation of any kind. That’s kingly enough.
how so
Just so you know, that’s not concrete they are painting, it’s slabs of granite.
Fucking fools.
It’s probably not even waterproof paint
That costs extra

That’s the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

These are just never ending insults to injury.
