So is anyone in Congress going to tell Trump the reflecting pool….

[Anonymous]

Yes, it's called dark paint. The pool now gets hotter than it did with the unpainted stone, so the algae grows faster. Too bad they don't believe in science.

I’m starting to deeply believe Trump is the dumbest man ever in the U.S. He bankrupted a casino. He is a deeply low IQ person (as he always says). Like I bet it’s 80.

It's going ot be so expensive to fix literally everything after he's gone.

And if we have a Dem as the next president, Republicans in Congress will suddenly care about the deficit again as they vote against any fixes. Sad!

Even liberals who see it are impressed. Just like all the other monuments and fountains Trump has cleaned up.

A reminder of how the renovation of the reflecting pool went with Obama:

PP, you don't know the difference between a repair and a renovation. A renovation is a vanity project based on desire. A repair is a necessity based on a requirement. The REPAIRS Obama received APPROVAL from Congress to use to add structural linings, upgrade the infiltration process, reduce the algae, and repair cracks. Now I don't have a problem with Trump's vanity projects because they make the city look better. My problem is the sole source contracting to friends and family at costs well beyond industry norm. Who is getting the kickback?

Which vanity projects are making the city look better???

the giant 8647 burned into the grass on the mall between the washington monument and WW2 memorial.

Yesssss

Hey look they made something green again on purpose

Someone should check the algae for numbers.

Gosh you should see what they’re like on the inside 😂

Its like working in the 1970s, but without cigarette smoke at my agency.

Every office I worked in at Commerce had broken windows. It would have been great set for filming something set in a ministry in Soviet Russia

I take that back, it isn't dye, it is bleach and now there are dead birds everywhere.

This is incredibly sad. Trump makes absolutely everything worse whenever he gets involved.

So they're turning it into a massive environmental hazard and what, they'll just do that forever?

That is way worse than I’ve ever seen it. Did they add some algae growth factors to their $16M of paint?

the paint heats the water, so in a sense, yes, they did add algae growth factors

Shocking our 30k gallon pool requires about 9 gallons of liquid chlorine. Translating that to the 6,750,000 gallon reflecting pool, they’d need over 2,000 gallons. These guys appear to have 50 gallons or so. And our pool has never been even close to this bad in terms of algae growth.
