It's a swamp in the making.

Have they blamed the algae on Biden yet?

Biden algae

Felonious45 wasted $13.1 Million dollars for "repairs &paint" is shear insanity. Imagine how many homeless people could be placed in at least a hotel room. Or children being fed for a year through Medicaid? Or health care given to Vets who are unemployed? It makes me sick thehill.com/homenews/adm...

I would normally post something like, "Well, well, well." In this case, maybe "Swamp, swamp, swamp." fits better.

Fair point.

To be fair - the reflecting pool isn't dead. It's in fact very much alive. More than they wanted.

MA-GA! MA-GA!!! MAKE ALGAE GREEN AGAIN! #TrumpFail

Can't have people wandering in front of the White House saying "Sunlight is the Best Disinfectant" or traitorous threats like that.

ETTD

Has Trump ever made anything better or does everything he touches go to shit

Its nature stupid.

Once again, the metaphor police are going to have to arrest someone.

Mother Nature always wins.

"“President Donald J. Trump is an expert builder who has fixed the reflecting pool for good unlike the failed and extremely costly attempt by Obama and Biden,” the Interior Department spokesperson said." How do these people not cringe themselves inside out

Is it SOUP, yet?

Maybe Trump can paint the algae American flag blue.🤡

Fill the swamp!

Algae surfaces?

Tronald Dump is a stupid moron.

Well a least another one of Trumpet's buddies got to make bucketloads of money off the tax payers. #DonaldTheDictatorWannabe

I'd say it's time to super chlorinate, but what do I know?

Trump is a failure in everything he pursues!

Every single thing this president does turns into a disaster. The incompetence is staggering.

An alkaline paint stripper is a paint removal agent with a pH higher than 7.0, designed to neutralize acids. It typically contains a solvent and a detergent, making it effective for removing old coatings that are difficult to strip using other methods.

Algae of the Epstein species. Another tRUMP failure.

The water from the tidal basin has algae in it. What they've created is an algae farm. It has perfect conditions. A tiny amount will explode in growth.

Algae - has RFK Jr been down to get a drink from the Reflecting Pool yet It sounds right up his alley

Interesting The renovation cost over 10 times more than Trump said it would Trump said the cost would be $1.5 Million for Reflecting Pool updates It cost $15.9 million - so far

That’s a trend. His trademark.

Happy America 250! 1776 is an important date in marine botany, as it is the publication year of Norwegian taxonomist Johan Ernst Gunnerus's Flora Norvegica, which formally described several species of marine algae and seaweed actively studied today and celebrated in America’s new reflecting pool.

Oh yes! I really love that documentary! 😜

Duh, dipshits. I look forward to your backpedaling, ass-kissing, access-preserving rationalizations.

That special tint of Epstein Green. 🤮

I think it's something else.

You have to admit leaving behind a rancid stinking swamp would be a fitting legacy

ya don't say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a shallow pool of stagnant water in this humid ass mosquito city got gross?????

It is called "The Reflecting Swamp", now.

Stop doing political commentary, reality! That's humanity's thing.

Lol

The residue is part of the normal startup process, the Interior Department spokesperson said. NPS also invested $1.7 million in a new ozone nanobubbler filtration system by Green Water Solutions who declined to comment for this story. www.greenwaterservices.com

Too bad they never heard of chlorine. 😒

What a metaphor!!

No one thought to flush them out 😏

Algae resurfaces in reflecting pool after multimillion-dollar corruption bsky.app/profile/poli...

ANTIFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

So emblematic of the Trump era: corrupt action, incompetently executed, to disastrous result.

If the algae is eliminated quickly, I suggest you wash your hands asap if you come in contact. Just saying.

Blue paint is temporary, killing algae is a complicated process!

“Fixes” in this headline should include quotation marks, Politico.

They should have left it alone. It was fine before all this bull shit.

Algae doesn't just wash out of the pipes and get skimmed off. It will continue to grow unless it is killed with an algaecide that is circulated through the entire system.

“Fixes”

bsky.app/profile/blue...

Also, waterproofing the bottom won’t do a thing to prevent algae growth.

We wasted millions on a paint job you can't see and did nothing? Yeah that's on par for our current government

“Fixes”?

Yuck, it looks like those dirty waterways in Florida!

Clearly Trump’s pool guy doesn’t have much experience with pools bigger than skyscrapers.

Everything he touches 😵‍💫 How much money can we grow if we planted a money tree today? It's probably going to cost as much to remove all his trash as it did to create it. SO SAD 😭

What a waste of money. They fire the experts and then this happens. It’s not their own money so they will keep spending it.

Pond scum fitting for this administration.

Fake news. Daddy Trump has fixed the pool. The algae has TDS.

They used toilet tablets to make it blue, now it’s worn off

Nutrients come from the mall’s use of fertilizer.

Not shocking since Trump surrounds himself with incompetent boobs.

Metaphor alert. 🚨

Members of the National Park Service? What’s up with Trump’s pool guy who pocketed millions of our cash? You mean that Trump negotiated a contract that did not obligate him to address stuff like this?

I’ll let an expert tell it.

You can’t make up stuff like this. Failure compounded by more failure goosed up by yet more failure.

Too funny.

On the upside, it'll be a lot easier to see it now

Still calling them “fixes” though.

Everyone with any fish in a fish tank just rolled their eyes.

No shit. 🤣 It's not filtered like a swimming pool

Trump ruins everything

He does destroy everything he touches. It's kind of ironic it's algae. It matches perfectly with the destruction of the White House lawn. That's his swamp.

I‘ve heard it‘s bigger than skyscrapers. So they need bigger algae scrapers.

Drain the MAGA swamp!

But its longer than a tall building lying down!

FFS, Politico, get it right - "Algae blooms just days after Trump administration's $14 million dollar reflecting pool resurfacing project is completed" They weren't "fixes", they just painted it and never tried to fix the filtration system! And it was a no bid contract awarded to one of his donors

It seems odd the supply line would have algae. Maybe you should have hired a contractor who understood reflecting pools instead of swimming pools.

Just because an idiot submitted a payment request doesn't mean any work was actually done.

#ETTD

So says his Mickey Mouse watch!

So what we learned is that Trump ran first time on draining the swamp and in 2.0 the swamp is regrowing itself in record time?

Definitely Joe Biden’s fault

Trump has brought algae to the reflecting pool and screwworms to eat cattle ☣️☣️

😂

😂🤣😂 Nature at its finest.

A more perfect metaphor for this administration you won't find. -Corrupt contract process -Nearly 10X over budget -trump blathering away about how great it was going -Looks worse than before they "fixed it"

Aaaannnnd $325B to Iran

And those bloody homeless.. 😔😪

Go ahead. I didn't make it in the first place, lol.

Christ. He'll chlorinate the thing next. Spray waterproofing will do nothing for the underlying problem, which that Washington was built on a swamp. Tiber Creek, and then, a canal, ran along what's the north side of the Mall. It's about subsurface structural integrity, not a quick fix.

It reflects perfectly

“As part of the project, NPS also invested in a new nanobubbler filtration system, while a dedicated crew will also maintain the grounds from wildlife.” What?? We’re going to blame nonexistent “wildlife” for upkeep issues? 🤨 Oh those squirrels!

Don’t the circulate and treat the water?

Just wait until we see his magical paint job start floating to the surface

What's wrong with Washington, D.C.? The Algae are too woke!
