Well done, Ms. Menendez.

Just now on MSNBC, they were discussing the hour Trump spent on the White House lawn praising his new very big very tall and tapered (?) flagpole. Conversation ran along the line of 'why this, why now, didn't he have anything important to do'. Then Alicia Menendez chimed in with "Finally, he does infrastructure!" Laughter ensued.

because watching those poles topple to the ground and burned in a bonfire, while Melania's tennis pavilion in the back yard accidently bursts into flames and burns to the ground. Then Obama's basketball court that trump had dug up for the pavilion can be rebuilt.

Then the original layout of the forever popular Camelot era Rose Garden will replace whatever urine stained dance floor crap will be there in 2028.

a multi-use court instead of just tennis or just basketball. And add pickleball.

Considering her dad is convicted NJ lawmaker Robert Melendez it must be tough for her to deal with the news every day especially when stories about her parents come over the wires. (I haven't seen her read any of those, though.) Good work, Alicia.

she announced on air that due to her personal connection, she wouldn’t be involved in coverage of the story. That’s journalistic ethics.
