Algae are cool.
It’s green because Iran’s flag has green and Iran’s a winner.
So painting a pool a dark color which will increase the water temperature encouraged algae to grow? You’d have to be some kinda scientist or psychic to know that would happen.

Next week these idiots will be saying “It’s supposed to be green” so that dont have to admit they voted for a fool.
only to show themselves as one instead, truely one of the bigglyist of plays.
Why would they wait until next week?
The algae multiplied. Who could have predicted they would do that? It was an entirely novel strategy.
This damn single celled organism is just far too intelligent for the trump administration.
How could algae have learned to multiply? We’re eliminating the department of education to prevent problems like this from reoccurring in the future.

I don’t know what you mean, he stopped testing and the numbers went down.
Honestly, who gives a shit? I’m so much more worried about global and local changes he’s making. I couldn’t give less of a fuck about the colour of the dumbass whitehouse pool.

It’s an easy symbol to help people get out of the cult.
Is it important? No. Is it useful? Yes (if presented to the right people and not used as a circlejerk)
importantly, it’s a very simple and visual representation of the spectacular incompetence
(i was going to add undeniable but i’ve seen that the cult is trying to say that “the radical left” sabotaged it by introducing the algae)
Were it not for the money and the grift I’d be pretty unconcerned also; maintaining a pool to look at in the middle of a swamp is supremely stupid.
First, it doesn’t belong to the White House or Trump. It’s there for literal and metaphorical reflection on what it means to be America, with specific reference to Lincoln and Martin Luther King. Second, I’m sure a bunch of the public money from this project landed in Trump’s pocket. Third, it’s just another failure, in the one area he’s supposed to have had experience in before running for President.
Unlike his moral failures that appall us every day, we can laugh at this one.

Pool maintenance?
Knowing how pools work and don’t work in general is part of Real Estate
Trump probably gets the basic formula:
“Pay Mexican guy” => “pool look good”
But I bet he fucks around on the “pay” part.
He doesn’t know shit about real estate. He only knows how to grift and con, real estate is just one of the many ways he’s been doing that. There are two things going on in trumps head, who can he scam and how, and then teenage girls nipples.
Trump the pool boy
The other bodies of water in this picture are what interest me. Both the Pond and the Tidal Basin look bluer, showing what it would have looked like. Now it’s the color of grift.
They’re probably also deeper, which both provides a less ideal environment for algae to grow and also looks bluer despite algae that might be growing. The water in the tidal basin is also moving and has water naturally flowing in and out. The reflecting pool does not have that and needs to be shallow so that water movement is minimized to create the reflection it’s supposed to give.
Yes the Basin is more “wild,” fair enough.
The Pond is also shallow and manmade, with a similar water system, so it’s a truer comparison.
Still quite deeper I think
I’m not sure if it changed, but the reflecting pool was modified to be fed by the tidal basin during Obama’s presidency.

alge is always greener on the other side
Algae produce a shitload of oxygen, so it’s super eco-friendly
except it causes a feedback, eutrophication effect. teh algae dieback, and the consumption of oxygen by bacteria when the alge decomposies causes deadzone in the water. this is not that bad, since its manmade and not connected to another natural water system.
i guess that’s 1 way to get him to do whatever it takes to change it
The grass is always greener on the othe- wai what…?

Yet still not as shocked as that pool is gonna be.

That must be this “American Blue” they’re all talking about
Gotta love the 2 other comparably sized pools in this image that don’t have the alge.
I’d rather vote for the algae too
At least Algae is useful.
That’s what’s happens when the swamp promises to drain the swamp. MORE SWAMP MOFOS!
