Donald Trump positioned himself as a swimming pool expert as he touted the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovations he ordered this year, having put in “more than 100” over his career.
But after spending $14 million in taxpayer funds, the Reflecting Pool now looks arguably worse than it did before.
Aside from the bright green hue of the water — the product of what is reportedly one of the largest algae blooms in recent years — the “industrial-grade swimming pool topping” that Trump chose is already peeling off in sheets.
US not being able to tame a knee-deep pool is peak empire collapse indicator.

The country that developed atomic energy and manned spaceflight.
The country that had the first nuclear reactor connected to the grid was the USSR with Obninsk. The scientist first discovering nuclear fission were the chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann and physicists Lise Meitner and Otto Robert Frisch (all german and austrian).
The first manned spaceflight was Vostok 1 with Yuri Gagarin (USSR).
Yeah wrll, maybe it’s just Obama’s fault and we can all move on
They literally tore out the filters that Obama had installed that would have helped to prevent this.
