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.

So, he can't actually drain the swamp that he literally created with his hillbilly coterie.

Shucks, guys, I would have though Trump construction would have been top notch work with only the best materials, gee whiz.

So, not only is the algae worse, but now there is floating paint debris that peeled off and is in the water?

FWIW, hydrogen peroxide is a fairly safe way to kill algae. I have a bird pond that hosts tadpoles this time of the year, and if the algae gets really bad, I add hydrogen peroxide to it (one cup for about 10 gallons). It's totally safe for the tadpoles and birds. Of course, that dude is going to need a whole lot more, and since it degrades quickly in sunlight, it's best to apply it at night.

Yep. Or we could have just left it better than this. You know, the way it was.

Reflecting Pool’s algae bloom is the biggest in years after $14M renovation:

An analysis of satellite imagery of the Lincoln Memorial shows algae levels spiked days after repairs to the long-troubled pool.

Photos taken by EarthCam between June 11 and 16 show algal growth across the Reflecting Pool.

The check for this pool company should be halted and the taxpayer's are due a refund.

It wasn’t. But Trump spent tens of millions on a promise it would be blue. And it’s way worse now than I’ve ever seen it before.

How much will it cost the taxpayer to get this pool back to as environmentally safe as possible? You know it cannot remain in the condition that it is now. Not longterm.

Girl, you need to ask Trump that question. That is what he promised. Intelligent people knew that the reflecting pool was not a literal pool, and what he was doing was making it worse. The reflecting pool is nothing more than an excavated manmade lake. When have you ever seen a manmade lake blue and clean? That's right, never. And neither has Trump, but then he thought he knew more than the scientists, environmentalists, and others.
