The Reflecting Pool's new murky, green color is leaving onlookers disgusted and angry after a costly renovation.

"The Reflecting Pool is VERY green and VERY disgusting," posted Brianne Chapman, who runs the left-wing political X account Anarc-y princess. "Even on the worst days, I never saw it look this bad before."

Algae has left the Reflecting Pool tinged green, and workers are struggling to keep it clean despite a multi-million dollar renovation, according to recent reports. People are starting to notice as Trump prepares to celebrate his birthday and America's 250th anniversary.

Next up lily pads spouting up that's what usually happens when you don't have the proper filtration system..........to stop the fertilization run-off...............you know bird shit and other fecal matter..........

1. The dark blue paint will absorb more heat than the previous gray, which will make the water warmer,

which will produce even more algae than before. They assumed once they'd drained, cleaned and refilled the pool there wouldn't be any more algae, but that stuff is alive. It grows and reproduces in any still water, and it loves still, warm water.

13. Yes it does..........damn near every time.............

17. There you go, bringing in that science stuff again

Dear Leader said that he would improve the pool, so obviously it must be better than before!

I'm hoping for a thunderstorm for tomorrow's desecration.

2. Everything he touches dies.

12. Except algae, looks like.

3. The reflecting pool's water supply, color, plumbing, filtration system, chemical treatment set up,

…. and the return of used water back to the Potomac had already been done years ago and it had
been working just fine.

4. The incompetent contractors probably messed up the system.

Trump hired the company that services the pool at Mar a Lago. They have no idea how to handle this project.

Millions of dollars wasted.

8. I used to swim in a neighborhood pool that was from the 1930s but pumps, chemical treatments,

… routine up keep had always been done, and it was still working like a champ. Trump never understood
one of the most basic thing … if something is working done fuck with it.

In the basement of building that had the pumps and stuff they always had a back up pump so
when a pump went bad it was replaced right now. And the old pump was evaluated to see if
it could be rebuilt.

bullshitter.
I still don’t get how he fooled and continues to fool so man6 people

[turbinetree]

14. Yep and the taxpayers got stiffed for what 13 million............

[Botany]

15. Trump should have to pay for this shit out of his own pocket

The reflecting pool had been working just fine since something like 1920.

5. It'd be a shame if people made the algae worse by adding fertilizer...

[mr715]

10. The ducks got that covered.

[allegorical oracle]

11. Fertilizer won't be necessary. Ninety degree heat can create an algae mat on

the surface if they don't figure out a remedy.

6. This shit happens when a duncified reality star ignoramus is

allowed to present himself as an expert on everything.

7. money pit party.

[struggle4progress]

16. The glorious cash-for-brown-nosers program is working just as expected!

[Norrrm]

18. His sycophants said he did such a good job because he was such an 'expert'.

An 'expert' who did not clean the pipes.

[GenThePerservering]

19. He'll blame it on Biden

or maybe Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

20. Looks like a pond.
