@nowthisimpact: After a multimillion‑dollar makeover and a whole lot of nanobubbler hype, the Reflecting Pool was treated with gallons of hydrogen peroxide. It’s still not working.

UrbaneCowboy :

You might not believe this but that algae bloom is longer than some of the tallest buildings in the world are tall.

Follow_bobthebuilder :

I don’t know if it keeps getting funnier or sadder

ThatNiceLotionLady :

it's all just so absurd

Never heard this much about the reflecting pool in my whole life.

Sally_Sue99 :

This project is such a metaphor for everything his administration has undertaken. Pointless objectives that create enormous unnecessary costs and end up as complete failures.

UltraViolet :

It’s not designed as a pool there’s no circulation. No filter system. You can’t treat this like a pool because it’s a pond.

Meghan838 :

Everyone remember, as you were struggling to put food on your table, our governments priority was a bad paint job that destroyed the meaning of a historical landmark and led to insanely expensive and unnecessary ongoing maintenance.

Sammyrawrrr :

it's giving queen of hearts "paint the roses red!!"

David P :

He literally failed at draining the swamp. In fact, he made it worse.

Can he do anything right?

Ravensworth :

This is a shitshow of epic proportions

Stonebridgerebel☃️☃️☃️ :

This has to be embarrassing an a huge scale.

aye Tony :

this administration is the biggest joke ever

Timothy Miles Bassett :

Yall would complain if they spent a few more million on filtration systems, at least it not leaking thousands of gallons anymore 🤔

user1554695883444 :

How much did that fiasco cost tax payers! 😖

meghead69 :

we had to make cuts to the budget because we were so broke in 2025 but we are throwing money away in 2026 on vanity projects

msshelleygirl :

Waste of our money

Dapper Jeff :

Even if they cleaned it, the algae will just come back over and over because the dark paint makes the water warmer which makes it a great place for algae to form.

ru :

it's the 'Strait of AL-Gee'

whiskrye :

Did literally anyone tell him that dark paint would make the pool warmer, which algae loves?

Lucifers Best Friend :

We have algae, a lot of algae. Some of the best algae in the world. People say they love our algae, because it's wonderful, it's green, really green. I mean it's the greenest green you've ever seen. And it's ours. It's wonderful.

Rob :

As a person who works with water chemistry, I will say it is really neat to see how far it went before it was too dilute to make a difference.
