So not only is Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool having a major algae bloom, but the beautiful blue lining that Trump demanded is flaking off.
This is a metaphor for something.
President Donald Trump’s overhaul of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has taken another turn for the worse.
Trump, 80, had spent months bragging about repainting the massive pool on the National Mall a specifically chosen shade of “American flag blue.” But less than 24 hours after his vanity project was completed at a cost of more than $14 million, the pool turned green with algae.
Now, a fresh issue has surfaced: Trump’s “American flag blue” finish is flaking off and floating to the surface.………
Trump had intended for the coating to change the pool’s longtime gray hue to a swimming-pool-like blue, while also acting as a sealant for the structure, which leaks millions of gallons of water a year.
“This was highly sophisticated material, industrial strength, that could last for 100 years, applied by very talented people, many of whom came from the Great State of Oklahoma, where I won 77 out of 77 Counties, THREE TIMES, the only President to ever do so,” he wrote in a Truth Social post earlier this month. “The material is thick, strong, flexible, and has a natural, beautiful color, the dark blue of the American Flag!”
Donnie, go flake yourself.
