@nicole_nathern_hedrick: The mainstream media is losing its mind over the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, turning a standard engineering hurdle into a political attack. But here are the facts they aren't telling you. This 100-year-old landmark has faced infrastructure issues, severe leaking, and massive algae blooms under every single administration—including a major blowout weeks after a $34 million overhaul in 2012.The administration stepped up to fix a chronic eyesore that others ignored. They even chose an eco-friendly hydrogen peroxide treatment specifically to protect local ducks and wildlife from harsh chemicals. Watch the full video to see how the media is spinning this story, why massive outdoor basins are a constant battle against nature, and what is actually being done to fix it. #NationalMall #ReflectingPool #ArmingYouWithFacts

Bbq_beer_freedom 🥓🇺🇸 :

have you seen people protesting the removal of the algae.

angiebeecher :

I am so over the hope that America will fail.

Raven 🐦‍⬛ :

Is he saying the algae grew because the pool was blue? I’m not pool man but any body of untreated water in sunlight will grow algae

Harry Dresden :

Everybody knows that a large body of water will eventually look like this naturally.

Minuteman :

I’m a huge Trump supporter, but I have to say that this seems like a bit of a fail.

Lyinseeker :

Pools are prone to algae blooms. It's to be expected.

Tonya Beck Schroeder :

There’s always been an algae problem there

kristeas79 :

Copper

Doxie-mom :

Pools turn green all the time. Does not have anything to do with the paint. It’s because whoever is monitoring the water doesn’t know what they are doing!

Randy L500 :

Critics are going to be critics.

callingitout5 :

He's just massively projecting. He's guessing about what's happening

gato :

Absolutely 100%

Chi :

indigo plant/woad can clear the water. I wish they can see this suggestion.

queeny :

I remember them saying that they are redoing the filtration in the fall, so it will still have that problem until they get to it on their schedule.

dobitty :

$34 Million? Out of control!

Stephen Barton :

Well said!

bug :

There have been problems with the water for many many years . It has nothing to do with the president

ALEXANDRIA LORENZO PIAZZA. :

AMEN to that ❤️❤️💯💯🙏🙏

user3977554845406 :

He did not learn from past failures. He chose to tackle this issue without being expects to deal with this

TMP :

Left is soo embarrassing

jjshameless :

It’s also worth noting that before Trump said anything about vandalism, CNN admitted that they found high levels of fertilizer in the water from the pool that they tested. It’s not far fetched that people were dumping fertilizer in the pool to cause an algae bloom.

smmacd :

have we seen it? how could we not? they won't shut up about it

just replied :

My life is ruined because of a decorative pool I’ll never see. 😏

🧡GAPeach1980🧡 :

I’m so over people wanting everything to be a failure. It’s exhausting
