As a DC9 union painter with 30+ years in coatings, I’m looking at the failure not a conspiracy theory.
When a coating is lifting off in large sheets like this, that points to an adhesion failure: improper surface preparation, contamination left behind, the wrong coating system, poor recoat timing, or water introduced before the system fully cured.
A quality two-part epoxy system can perform well but the product is only as good as the prep and application. The substrate has to be properly profiled/cleaned, the specified primer or first coat applied correctly, recoat windows followed, and the full system allowed to cure before being put back into service.
That is not “vandals.” That is a coating failure that deserves a real independent inspection and an explanation of exactly what system was specified and how it was applied.

Take a moment to really look at this photo. 👇
That is the White House lawn. The People's House. Sacred ground that has stood for 226 years. Not destroyed by war. Not by disaster. But for one man's pleasure.
We are 13 days away from our 250th birthday as a nation, and our president spent $14 million ripping out the Reflection Pool to build himself a swamp. Another $600 million turning the East Wing into rubble. Rose Garden destroyed. And $60 million for his own birthday party that tore up the lawn.
226 years it stood strong. This man destroyed it in a year and a half.
One photo that screams exactly what he's done to this great nation.
Everyone on the right got pissed off when I noticed the state of the art circulation and filtration system Obama had added to the Reflecting Pool 16 years ago was removed by Trump. Now we find out that Trump *did* remove it. This isn't hard to deduce. Anything Obama did will be removed and destroyed. We paid good money for that system only to be charged $14 million to have the pool painted and the filtration system removed. This was a money laundering scheme. Nothing more.
Retweet if you stand by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni against Trump. Her Quote ‘Italy And I Never Beg’ 🇮🇹
Canada and Greenland never beg either. 🇨🇦🇬🇱
🚨 If you believe Social Security should be 100% off-limits for Trump and Republicans, smash LIKE and RETWEET right now!
Protect our seniors! #HandsOffSocialSecurity
Holy shit!! There are huge chunks of blue paint coming off the reflecting pool already…
It seems the peroxide loosened things up, yikes!!
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE.
We. Told. You. It. Wouldn't. Work.
HAHAHAH. It only affected the edges - and now there is a nice wide neon strip of algae in the center of the Reflecting Pool. Fucking idiots. Complete morons. 🤣😂😭
Hey, @sheetz ... What are you supposed to do with this red sticky thing? Can't sip through it. Can't swirl your half & half coffee with it. You have to fight this little monster to get it open and it takes like five tries without breaking it. What's it for?
