President Trump says vandalism caused the damage to the Reflecting Pool, while critics point to possible technical problems with the renovation itself. What do you think is behind the problems?
MAKE ALGAE GROW AGAIN!
Only Americans can launder money with the help of a pool :)))
Never thought America would sink so low, it’s heartbreaking America has fell from grace.
America is a broken country

There are reflecting pools featuring iconic buildings all over the world. For centuries. They get algae, they are cleaned, they get algae, they are cleaned. Have you ever heard of an embarrassing pool maintainance catastrophe caused by an authoritarian leader's hubris, poor decisions, and refusal to consult independent experts? And now he sends the military to protect the pool against… vandals?
Trump is clearly having mental health difficulties, Americans shouldn’t tolerate this behavior, it’s humiliating to have an incompetent corrupt leader
If Trump lies about an issue like this, he can’t be trusted in any capacity
Peeling paint?. No, the main cause of algae is hot climate temperatures🌡️ and trump don't understand of the environment climate But they took immediate action after algae appeared ☕
If they had the videos of vandalism they claimed we would have seen them already.
Unlike Trump, those green plants produce some oxygen from greenhouse gases.
History shows during WW2 FDR was focused on repainting the pool
When you look at the reflecting pool it's a good resemblance of the presidency. It's a swamp😅
1) Wrong situation for product. 2) Improper application technique. 3) Defective product. A coating is not a liner. A coating is applied. A liner is installed. A liner can be cut but a coating shouldn't be effected.
38% of americans still support this fool
the US really is a banana republic now. Arresting people to cover up the incompetence of the dictator 🙄

We have a deranged american president,the republicans love it btw.the licoln pool has had bloom issues before,but this is the worst,mentioning the elephant in the room would be nice.
Even swimming pools can ward off algae better than this multimillion dollar money sink
They could empty a few magazines with M16, that could turn the pool blue 🔵
It`s the Greenwater Services Company John J. "J.J." Cafaro is an American businessman and convicted felon🤷♂
Nature's way of saying something is wrong
The presidential joint task force to protect the reflection pool because this is such a national security concern
A swedish TV reporter was threatened with arrest for touching the pool water, yes she was threatened while she was filming her report
Literally 0 people cared about that body of waters color until the Orange corruptor wanted his friend to get a corrupt deal using the American tax payers. America is turning into a Banana Republic real fast
It was vandalism by the anti America Trump hatred Woke leftists destroying the pool! 🫤🇺🇲♥
Lmao of course Donald Dump is trying to find an excuse for yet another one of his failings.
Usually, water is transparent, which is what clear means. Making it blue defeats the naming scheme of a "reflective pool". Seems to have been lost on them.
Amazing how America can rain down death and destruction on a bunch of schoolgirls and yet are more interested in a green pond. What a world.
as a member of the legion of algae, im loving what trump is doing for my kind
So emblematic of the corruption and incompetence that now defines the US.
