This is Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago neighbor John Cafaro who got the no-bid contract to install a water purification system for the reflecting pool. He has 2 prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress and another for an illegal loan that violated campaign finance laws.
To really fix the reflection pool they’re going to have to drain it again, get all of the old paint up, shot blast/sand blast the basin & get a paintable waterproofing to put down after the entire area is vacuumed. They should start out by testing a small area. Prime & top coat. It’s a two step process. Whoever they hired to do this failed job were morons.
Undocumented immigrants pay into social security and get exactly zero out of it!
They’ve funded approximately $26 billion in a single year and $6 billion into Medicare. About $9k per person.

BREAKING: OMG! Trump goes full 1984 on the Reflecting Pool algae as his Interior Department releases fake images insisting that the water is "crystal clear" despite being nasty green.
We can see it Donald! We know you're lying!
"The advanced nanobubbler technology very effectively killed the algae that has plagued every Lincoln Reflecting Pool reopening—most infamously Obama's reopening—since 1922," the official U.S. Interior Press account wrote on X.
"The Reflecting Pool water is crystal clear, and our National Park Service team is now vacuuming up the dead algae resting on the bottom of some parts of the Reflecting Pool—just like the destroyed Iranian Navy resting on the bottom of the Persian Gulf," they continued.
It's worth pointing out that under previous, competent administrations it would have been unthinkable for a Department of the Executive Branch to engage in this kind of petty, partisan mudslinging through its official accounts. Trump cheapens everything.
"Previous administrations—most notably under Obama—failed to maintain the Reflecting Pool, and after refilling the pool, the water would quickly become murky and thick with massive clumps of algae floating on the surface," the account continued.
"As our National Park Service team noted, the Reflecting Pool is now so 'blue' that the Fake News Media, which has been staked out at the Reflecting Pool for weeks, has fled!" they concluded.
The Interior Department added photographs that depict the pool as clear blue — as if we can't all see the constant stream of photos and videos of the water being discolored and the blue paint literally peeling off due to the hydrogen peroxide they ignorantly poured in.
At the same time that the Trump administration was pumping out these lies and photos that were either doctored or outdated, an image went viral of a duck swimming in the thick, green, striated water.
The best part about this worsening fiasco is that it's an entirely self-inflicted wound. Trump was the one that made a big deal out of renovating the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. He's the one who wasted $13 million of our taxes on this project, boasting that he would succeed where Barack Obama supposedly failed. Now, the problem is getting worse by the day in the most on-the-nose metaphor imaginable for Trump's inability to do anything right.
But of course, this man can never admit that he has failed or botched something, so instead of conceding that they can't remove the algae, they're just going to pretend that its gone, secure in the knowledge that gullible MAGA supporters will believe it.
In the words of George Orwell: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
Please ❤️ and share if you're loving this algae debacle!
What I would give for Don Orsillo to be in the booth for a season like this. They gotta bring Sox Appeal back like now. Have that as the main event every night and the game as the backdrop.
