President Donald Trump has finally run into "a brick wall" of reality that he cannot talk his way out of, per a new analysis from CNN, with the implosion of his Reflecting Pool criminal case showing the limits of his most "powerful tool." These cases emerged amid the embarrassing fiasco where the Reflecting Pool became overrun with algae following a costly renovation pushed for by Trump. "When Trump hits a brick wall now, as president, he just fashions an alternative reality," Collinson continued. This approach internally sustains a presidency that is deeply unpopular, with Trump’s approval rating at 34 percent in the latest CNN/SSRS poll. And the war with Iran that he insisted he won in a few days is now heading into its sixth month."
