The reflecting pool in Washington

The reflecting pool in Washington

Debates


I swear to God, I saw it on the BBC and I was crying with laughter.

After trump spent millions doing up the reflecting pool (a large basin of water in the US capital) and boasting about how he’s built hundreds of pools, how Biden let it all go to hell and how good he, trump himself, is at building pools, the newly repainted pool (which is US flag blue) turned green with algae in one night.

It’s so spot on for US politics under trump, so on the nose, it’s brilliant!

Damn, I needed that. Hahaha

The blue paint apparently reflected heat back and therefore warmed the water up, and therefore algae. The pool was also shallow, thus speeding up the warming time...

Every single thing Trump touches turns into a master class in ineptitude.

Poor Trumpy, can't win a trick. I read that too last night. He might be under some tragic Greek curse, where he will live very long but see all his vanity projects turn to merde.

It fits with his lack of trust in science and canceling funding for research and universities.

Ya see, there’s this chemical process called photosynthesis—been around for a few hundred million years or so … maybe he should have consulted his national health minister, you know, that guy with the brain worm, first

The health minister, who after being bitten multiple times by a snake in a pillow case, released the beast in a swimming pool full of children.

The US… it’s like one giant Florida.

Isn’t that the same as Florida?

I mean the last I heard, some woman robbed a store by swinging an aligator around.

Or perhaps that was Australia? Dunno… same difference.

He can't even win a war against algae.

It's a microcosm of the gross incompetence sweeping washington. At last check they were dumping hydrogen peroxide into it from the side, which created a blue ring around the green pool and that'll need to be a near constant treatment to have any effect.

Never consulted any scientist who would have noted this as the obvious outcome.

Oh please, he’s won 12 wars in a years time.

Damn you, sir, he’s even stopped wars between countries that don’t exist!
What more do you want the man to do???

Wow you sure got Trump rattled with your post!
I hope he will be alright ๐Ÿ™„

And now we turn to the news about this topic,

"Three men and a woman chased away from the reflecting pool after dumping buckets of algae into the water, Video surveillance shows the suspects taking the algae from the nearby Potomac River and dumping it into the pool, it was going on for 3 days before being noticed, more chemicals have been added to kill the algae" First Potomac News
