Democrats and liberal media seem to be constantly taking issue with anything President Donald Trump does, regardless of the merits of his actions.
But they've now truly jumped the shark with their Trump Derangement Syndrome when they're objecting to Trump cleaning up fountains and monuments around Washington, D.C.
Our sister site Townhall reported on some of the interesting reaction.
Here's the account that used to be the Kamala Harris Headquarters account, terming things like spending on the Reflecting Pool, Trump "vanity projects."
New reporting reveals the Trump admin has used $67,000,000 of National Parks entrance fees to fund Trump's vanity projects in DC.

This includes the painting of the Reflecting Pool, which he doled out to a MAGA contractor for $7,000,000. pic.twitter.com/Cskjv7gqXA
Then here was the NY Times.
Two hilarious things about this big New York Times “exclusive” today.

1) since when does the New York Times care about government spending?
2) why is it a bad thing to use revenue to do something that is unquestionably a good thing? pic.twitter.com/bCToISnx3c
There are some funny and instructive reactions there.
First, Democrats call the actions "vanity projects." What's happening here? The Trump administration is using National Park Service (NPS) fees to...wait for it... take care of NPS properties. Oh, the horror! That's one of the things for which the fees should be used. So why is this even a "story"?

Second, the fact that the Democrat account that was connected to Kamala Harris doesn't understand that explains how things have fallen into such disrepair. They didn't give a darn that the Reflecting Pool was choked with garbage or if the fountain at Columbus Circle wasn't working for years (and Joe Biden went by it for years to take the train back to Delaware). They don't give a darn that Columbus Circle was covered in graffiti. They failed to do their jobs, and they dare to grouse about Trump doing his? They should look in the mirror and feel shame, but I don't think they have the capacity for that anymore.
Third, aren't these the same folks who wasted money like it was going out of style? From pouring money out to Ukraine to fraud, when did they ever really check spending? They spent endless amounts without caring. Now we actually have an administration putting a stop to the rampant mismanagement of money. Another example of how we are so much better off that Kamala Harris lost.
Decline is a choice, and it's one that Democrats have made for years.
Trump is literally following through on fixing things, as we are about to celebrate our 250th birthday. And that's a good thing.
