I guess the good news is, one less thing for taxpayers to spend money on to remediate.

If the end game is to to undo his damage, at least peroxide is cheaper to remove paint than 100 workers scraping the bottom. Finally, a small win for taxpayers, and a BIG win for us proud TDS leftists.

That’s a good point. And if they will dump peroxide every day because the algae keeps growing then the paint will be gone quicker.

TBH though, thought Trump could at least do construction projects better than this. ETTD

Maybe we shouldn’t have the guy who can’t even paint a pool competently in charge of our government?

Such a gigantic waste of taxpayer money. A no-bid contract that makes the fool in the White House look even more dumb with a 'b'! $13 million dollars for this embarrassment. Sheets of blue paint floating in an algae infestation. I'm so proud to be an American!

Trumpian professionalism and expertise at its finest. "If you're going to do something, do it right, or don't do it at all!" right MAGA? #The-A-Team

On the bright side, maybe RFK Jr is planning a Father’s Day swim there after spending last year’s Mother’s Day wading in Rock Creek.

I expect our Dear Leader to text around 1 am tonight that it’s a rare blue stingray that followed him up there from Mar-a-Lago that heard there was a pristine pool unlike any body of water in the world and it cried its eyes out until Trump agreed to bring it up to DC.

If only people had warned about this before it happened

because, expertise used to be a thing.

I see a reflecting pool that isn't filled with algae or peeling plastic

Have they tried to shine a light in there to kill the algae?

Care to revise your comments and apologize?

I am willing to bet they don’t know this and are doing this incorrectly and we will see giant chips of blue paint floating around in it within weeks. At least that will make it easier to remove in a couple of years.

^ nailed it!
