It’s a big, beautiful pool of water. It’s well painted by a genius of a pool painter.

I wonder how much it’s gonna cost to power wash it back off.

I’m a little surprised he’s not painting it red. Would be on point with his hats, his party and his antichrist status.

$20 said they don’t seal it, it becomes a big soupy mess that ends up poisoning all the ducks, and ends up looking like a abandoned pool in a year

How is this costing $13m

Heard he gave this contract to his contractor buddies instead of bidding a federal project . All unions should be mad

Only thing missing is one of those rickety 1970s motel pool slides…

There’s not going to be a blue wave. We’ve been screwed by gerrymandering now. The orange turd will be in office till he expires there without ever facing any repercussions.

Imagine red paint. Like blood color. It’d be fitting though.

It’s the goddamn *reflecting* pool. It’s supposed to *reflect* the monument. It’s *not* supposed to look like a fucking *swimming* pool! Is there no end to the depth of this administration’s stupidity?

I feel like this is another instance of Trump misunderstanding words, like thinking a “doctored” photo is him as a doctor or “immigrants seeking asylum” are from an insane asylum. He heard “reflecting pool” and decided it needed to be sealed like a pool.

For a guy with money, he sure does like to make things look cheap and tacky.

The Supreme Court ensured there would be no Democratic majority after the midterms.

Tacky and poorly thought out? Yeah that tracks for Trump’s MO

No one decides to just do this unless he’s some how grifting money.

Could have accomplished the same thing by tossing a few 2000 flushes in there and stirring.

He has been mocking our national monuments in his second term. The East Wing of the WH got demolished.

Unless they constantly clean it, which will cost tax payers money, it will eventually become full of algae and other mess and turn dark black/brown. Anyone else think of a swimming pool in the VA area that is left untreated for a summer? After a few months the pool is no longer blue. Such an f-Ing waste. Other than throwing a construction business busy a bone there was no consideration taken in how this would be maintained.

This is an omen of things to come. It’s nice of STUPID to do the decorating before the next real world leader moves in

Have you ever seen a backyard pool that wasn’t swept for a couple weeks? Here’s one with the same dirt showing color that will be cleaned never

“blue wave” as in 2028, to fix red wave’s mess?

Should make it a wave pool or lazy river.

It’s a goddamn reflecting pond not a swimming pool. Did you ask any landscape architects what color it should be??
GrimleyGraves on
If that’s the actual shade of blue they’re using, I’m afraid that water is going to look more black than blue, especially at the angle most people will view it.

At least it’s not gold

It’s going to look great with the added soap suds.
