In late April President Trump pledged to clean up the “filthy” reflection pool outside the Lincoln Memorial in anticipation of the nation’s 250th birthday this Independence Day.Assistant to the President & White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung posted the video of Trump's motorcade driving over the reflection pool on Thursday.

Under Obama, the National Park Service conducted a major renovation of the reflecting pool, which included tiniting the bottom of the pool to improve reflection.

Trump Pools R'Us LLC is currently painting over that tint with non-reflective paint, which will probably cause another algae bloom.

1. Ironically symbolic of what he is doing and has done to America.

2. I'm only surprised Trump's plan for the pool doesn't include a giant mosaic of Himself on the bottom.

Perhaps that surprise is yet to be revealed.

4. Don't give him any ideas!

3. Hmmmm....dump trucks on it loading trash last week

And f-250 trucks pulling sprayers the last weeks are probably similar. I’m more focused on our gas prices and groceries.
