The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool had aging pipes, cracked concrete and filtration problems. Trump’s administration spent over $14 million but didn't fix the infrastructure. Now it’s covered in algae and they're dumping 12% hydrogen peroxide in it.
That’s the most perfect metaphor for modern Republican governance we've seen all year. Paint the surface. Ignore the problem. Try to fix the fuckup and blame somebody else.
BREAKING: A bird’s-eye view reveals that Trump's decision to dump hydrogen peroxide into the Lincoln Reflecting Pool to "bleach it" has backfired bigly!
This is turning into a flaming fiasco for the White House...
"Just flew right by the reflecting pool on approach to DCA. Looks like this morning’s hydrogen peroxide bleaching is having an effect on the perimeter," Atlanta News First's Brendan Keefe wrote on X alongside a photo of the deeply discolored pool.
Trump wasted over $13 million of our tax dollars amidst soaring inflation and consumer suffering to "renovate" the Reflecting Pool. It's part of his increasing obsession with leaving a physical legacy in lieu of a positive historic one.
But the project, like everything else that Trump does, has quickly turned into a disaster. Shortly after it reopened, algae bloomed, destroying the perfect blue aesthetic that Trump was trying so hard to cultivate. First, the administration tried sending in workers to vacuum up the algae. When that failed, they resorted earlier today to dumping hydrogen peroxide in.
Rather than clear up the water, the peroxide has made the pool even more disgusting to look at, with varying striations of nasty green. It's a fitting visual metaphor for this failed presidency.
Please ❤️ and share if you think that everything Trump touches, dies!
TRUMP FEB 21, 2026: “We’re building the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world. There will be no charge to the tax payer whatsoever. Not ONE PENNY of tax dollars will used.”
Trump is a LIAR and the entire GOP (sans Massie) are pick-pocketing crooks.
🚨WTF: Someone collapses behind Trump during the rally and visibly annoyed he asks “Is there a doctor in the house?” then sarcastically says, “take your time please” as if they weren’t fast enough. He then asks the crowd if they want music.
Something is wrong with him.
There were two mass shootings last night at bars, one in Austin. Tx Republicans are sharing their thoughts and prayers. They have had 30 years to do something! Instead, they have passed a series of more than 100 laws loosening gun regulations. Chinga tu Thoughts and Prayers, we need action! #txlege
@WallStreetApes Wow, really, and the Republican government that Texas has had for over 20 years has done nothing about this.
We need them out of office now
James Talerico. This man is going to change this country.
He's a common sense, Bible belt Democrat in the heart of Texas.
He's everything the right fears, he's packing houses in deep red counties across the state, and he's gonna flip Texas. Texas.
Protect this man at all costs
Woody Harrelson, "We have a guy running this country who has unearthed a lot of bigotry, a lot of racism"
"And it seems to be more virulent than ever"
"It seems like we're going backwards"
"I wish there was a way to get rid of that son of a b*tch and get in a great president"
"It doesn't seem like that's going to happen"
"And I don't know how he's going to continue to ferment hate"
