How much taxpayer dollars does it take to change the lights to blue anyway?

Reminded me of this classic Red Dwarf scene…

I don’t think it’s wise for the media in general to go after trump for things like this and make a big fuss. I imagine it went no further with him than “A charity is asking us to do something with lights, sure why not?”. He was probably just trying to do something nice, or more likely, something that he thought would make him appear to be nice. Of course a well functioning WH should be carefully vetting what charities it chooses to endorse (odd considering how amazing Trump is at vetting I know) but concentrating on small mistakes like this just feeds that “You see! The main stream media is out to get me what ever I do!” narrative that he loves. It’s deflecting from the big mistakes he doesn’t want talked about. e.g. He hasn’t released his tax-returns yet, so stop moving onto other subjects, stick with that one until you get some answers people.
