Hey there, let's chat about Trump in D.C. and the illusive summer lull!
Trump visited Washington for official business, presumably, and the referred "summer hole" might be a figurative term not explicitly defined in the text.

It's the weekend and everyone's out enjoying the sizzling sun! Trump, however, has a giant American flag to deal with. The biggest one ever seen in Washington, mind you. And he oversaw every inch of its construction because, as he put it, "No one knows more about this than me."
But let's focus on what most of us are craving: a break, a breath of fresh air. The summer lull, a chance for the news to slow down a bit. Usually, we get this when some big cat or other exotic creature pops up in the headlines – remember Skippy the kangaroo or Kuno the killer catfish? Well, it seems this year might be different.
We've got Putin bombing residential buildings, the Middle East teetering on the brink, and Trump constantly rattling his Saber. With all the madness unfolding, it's difficult to find solace in the quieter corners of the world.
Let's take a quick look at Trump's big flagpole drama, shall we? The move came shortly after Trump's abrupt departure from the G7 summit. For those who missed it, Trump claimed his exit was about something "much BIGGER" than a ceasefire, and he wasn't kidding. The new flagpole stands tall at 27 meters, the biggest in the city. Coincidence? We think not.
It seems Trump couldn't wait to get back home, given the Middle East situation and lacking star-studded guests at the summit. In light of continuing violence and geopolitical tension, the longing for escapes, for soothing summer stories, grows stronger every day.
Speaking of stories, remember the great summer fables of years past? The escapades of Skippy, Kuno, Sammy, and even ol' Bruno. Their tales brought joy and relief, even managing to distract us from the troubles that lingered just outside our backyards. But those were simpler times.
In the heat of war...
And yet, here we are, gritting our teeth, hoping for the best. Russia's war crimes are a gruesome normality, and the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran shows no signs of abating. It's nearly impossible to escape the turmoil, but we must find ways to cope, to breathe, to seek solace.
For instance, a dip in one of Europe's lake or seas promises a temporary reprieve. The waters should be around 18 to 22 degrees this weekend - the perfect temperature for a refreshing dip. The calendar summer has started, and the beer gardens are filling up, just like the ammunition depots in Ukraine.
But, with war looming over us, can we truly find comfort? Is the summer lull a mere dream?
...and the warmth of an ice cream
It's too soon to tell. The experts can be wrong, though. Maybe we can still enjoy a few ice creams as we watch the flag fluttering outside the White House. In some parts of Germany, ice creams cost an average of €1.43, while in the big cities, you might need to cough up almost triple that amount. Peer into the cool, sweet refreshingness that ice cream offers– a fleeting moment of peace amid the chaos.
