BREAKINGNEWS Trump lied by claiming the vandalism was done by a knife and the contractors aren't at fault. Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has 24 hour live feed. There is no evidence of any such claim. Trump should be held accountable for lying. π¨
As a DC9 union painter with 30+ years in coatings, Iβm 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 βvandals.β 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.

The World Cup fans falling in love with America arenβt in the places MAGA controls ... theyβre in New York, LA, Seattle. Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston, the cities Republicans have spent a decade calling dangerous, godless hellholes that apparently the entire world wants to visit.
To really fix the reflection pool theyβre 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. Itβs a two step process. Whoever they hired to do this failed job were morons.
π¨CAUGHT ON TAPE: Mike Johnson PANICS after a recorded conversation is released exposing the House Republican plan to CUT Medicaid, Medicare, AND social security for millions of Americans.
They denied it. The recording just blew up the entire lie. EVERY American should see this.
Defend this you fucking Maga Morons!
The whole fucking point of the stupid fucking tariffs you defended was to close or narrow the trade deficit.
Now your fucking Moron President is bragging about it being wider. π€¦
