This admin can screw up something as simple as making a cup of coffee.
SEWAGE
So so predictable too. ETTD.
The thing that really chaps my ass is… IT DOESN’T BELONG TO HIM. It’s OURS. And NOBODY asked for this. Nobody.
The guy who promised to drain the swamp created one in the Capitol Reflecting Pool.
Everything Trump touches dies.
no words but telling a lot.
In a way, the Reflecting Pool is still doing it's job because it's reflecting our times.
bsky.app/profile/lafa... Oligarchy can't even maintain a proper reflecting pool without polluting it with its disease!
Whoever cast the role of "John J. Cafaro" totally nailed it. Check this Hanna-Barbera villain out: bsky.app/profile/rons...
Epstein files
Scum, Reflecting the Republican party.
The reflecting pool looks its best, EVER!
Funny how the people that said they were going to drain the swamp created a literal one.
Big enough for a slush fund
Here’s a thought, fill in the pool, cover it with solar panels and generate some electricity. Because the viewing angle is less than the critical angle it will reflect better than water. As a bonus, it would send Trump nuts.
The outfit that Trump hired to do this clusterfuck must have been a perceived loyalist by Trump.
He made an actual swamp. Remarkable.
He ruins everything.
OK— Now I get it! ‘This is Trump donor & Mar-a-Lago neighbor, John Cafaro, who got the no-bid contract to install a water purification system for the reflecting pool. He has 2 prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress & another for an illegal loan that violated campaign finance laws.’
So it looked nice for a day? Great waste of $14,000,000!
It gets worse - the paint is peeling: What could go wrong with awarding a $14 Million no-bid contract. www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...
How do we get him to stay the hell away from the things we hold dear? Everything he touches just turns into some tacky, trashy dump.
The reflecting pool was restored in 2012. If you want to see how it looked before trump messed around with it, here is the link. nationalmall.org/content/recy...
Ridiculous
Everything he touches!
Yep that about sums it up that's what we look like to the world! 😤
The metaphor practically writes itself.
Very unintentionally symbolic.
www.irishstar.com/news/politic... we suspect that in his dementia sundowner's wanderings donald trumb is peeing in the pool
This fucker wants to control the Strait of Harmuz and can't even control the Reflection Pool?!?!?!
I hoping the same company painted his new plane. Fingers crossed :D
Looks like kale soup.
Everything he touches turns to gold🤣🤣🤣
These are the years of magnificent stupidity. Art Of The Deal for the world to witness in these photos.
Now do the White House before/ after Anything Trump touches dies and he has his hand up Lady Liberty's skirt like it's a 13 yr olds panties
"Trump is one of the worst property managers/developers in history". There's an essay in that premise, if not a PhD.
Any surprise here?
No A.I. detected !!! Seeing is believing…. Even if that “ belief “ is utter disbelief 🫢
They got this guy straight from Central Casting. He looks as slimy and corrupt as they come and I’m guessing that ain’t his daughter. 🤨
Can we send the Trump the bill for this?
Will be at a $20m cost after peroxide dump...
Yep, the pedo is also a moron.
The Reflecting Pool is not a big ole swimming pool and should not be treated as such. Trump's meddling is a source of ridicule and a metaphor for his administration. Clearly the Pool needs to be drained and the paint removed. Time to dump more tax dollars into more paint and another failed attempt??
What a disgusting mess. “Reflective” of the President and his administration.
I feel like the people of the united states should be demanding a refund. No, fixing, it, just give us a refund. A simple cleaning and a repainting of the original bottom would have been enough.
The reflecting pool is doing its job…it’s reflecting the filth that is currently occupying the White House
Turmp hired a company that had fixed swimming pools at Mar-a-Lago without bothering to get bids from other ones (as the law requires). He needs to fix it and he needs to pay for it from his own funds. Add your name, and demand Turmp pay for the repairs. leftaction.substack.com/p/make-trump...
Gotta rename it "The Cesspool" now. 😞
MAGA! Making Algae Green Again!
HORRIBLE, HORRENDOUS, DISGRACEFUL AND all of his people let him destroy the pond, SOME MORE! IT seems like he WANTS to destroy DC, totally! Sad that NO one has committed HIM! YOU, blanche, said u love him! SO GET HIM SOME HELP. U 👀 his kids don't care to help HIM! SAD PEOPLE 😔
We are the laughingstock of the world. Everything that this lunatic touches seems to fail. Reading international news, the latest screw-up the world is making fun of, is our big blue pool which turned surprisingly into a green/brown looking swamp. I can’t blame them and I feel ashamed :(
We have "genius shit" doing that kind of work.
Everything he touches turns to CACA!
🙄😳
$$$$$$$$$
That was one expensive swamp Trump created...or in his mind, built.
Disgraceful, that man is toxic and needs to be removed from office! 🍊🤡🤮🤢
@lazytato.bsky.social our money at work
Drain the swamp.
Reminds me of The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Make Algae Great Again
Make algae great again
Nice that you left out The Clods
Everything trump touches dies.
Before Trump got his hands on it.
Someone needs to go to jail for this.
Corruption begets corrosion.
The swamp... thy name is Trump.
Zero credibility. If it’s Trump’s mouth VS my eyes, his mouth will always lose. He is an unrepentant liar.
Oops
What do folks expect from the guy who thinks spray paint is gold leaf?
- Didn't Trump recently criticize Jerome Powell for going over budget on renovations for the Washington Federal Reserve's Headquarters & felt he should be fired, so tell Trump that he too should be fired for going over budget not only for the WH ballroom, but also for Washington DC's Reflexing Pool!
- It happens when you reject scientific info, cement's normally light grey & would reflex sunlight but overtime dirt builds up & the bottom of the pool gets darker, then sun heats up the reflexing pool & algae grows, so the dark blue is as dark as the dirt was & why algae is forming so quickly now!
I wish I was in DC so I could gather pieces of the blue paint floating in the reflecting pool. They could probably be sold as fundraisers for Democrats.
The trump reflexion pool is an example of trump destroying the USA and creating world oppression. Maga christians are celebrating their gold-plated godking daddy rapist pedophile felon insurrectionist traitor misogynist racist nazis fascist successful destruction and oppression around the world.
wEll ThAt WaS mOnEy WeLL sPeNt.......
More wasted money that could’ve been better spent on helping people.
We’ve been bamboozled into paying 14.9 million for disappearing paint. #ETTD EVERYTHING TRUMP TOUCHES DIES
what 14 million dollars of taxpayer's money buys
The good news is, a few people got millions of our tax dollars in their pockets for doing exactly nothing
It mirrors this administration’s governance.
Couple million unreleased Epstein docs out there, but let’s definitely invest time and attention on a decorative accent.
(Allegory)
Bottom, right...is that Florida at the lower end?
A little allegory for the soul. Karma is a bitch!
More f’ing winning. 🤬
$14 Million for this?
Because - how stupid not to know that the darker color absorbs more light and grows more algae. Unless they fill it full of chlorine... the entire endeavor was total and complete bribery, grift, and bullshit.
I'm not all that familiar with the timeline on this, but can I assume that there was nothing really wrong with it in the first place, and Trump had to go and screw it up because... reasons?
Every time someone says "they don't build things anymore" a historian gains another headache.
Trump: Hey look, the reflecting pool is taller than the Empire State building. It's the tallest algae pool ever. I am the best builder, and it won't need anything for 50 years!
Taxpayers should sue to demand a refund for the shoddy work!
Creeping rot
Just a disgrace and a waste of taxpayers money! 😖
It's still one of the tallest flat things in the world.
Loser pisses away $14 m.
Nothing says We bought the pool paint at WalMart like the pool paint peeling after 2 weeks............................... 🤓
I don’t remember when this reflecting pool was originally put in. But I have seen some ACLU pics that show it used to be grass (in 1960’s). Do you think it was put in to limit protest space? 🤔
Maybe he'll have a tarp thrown over it like the Kennedy Center
‘The Reflecting Pool of Dorian Gray’
What a colossal phuch up... the things those tax dollars could have gone towards for the betterment of America. 🫠😔
But his crony got paid. Did it come with a warranty?
Face it…Trump is a real fuck up.
Just saying?
More waste fraud and abuse that the GOP will ignore.
Description of the Dementia DonOLD regime in chronological pictures!!!
💙🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛💙 Looks like a high school bio experiment….Sadly this is what republicans voted for. Reps support Trump not for the country or people but only to enriched and protect themselves. MAGA wanted this, This is what they got, a country whose seat of power is one step removed from trailer park trash…
Swamp the drain @adamkinzinger.substack.com bsky.app/profile/phil...
Adam, it was supposed to be green. These things take time.
The poor water fowl.
He said he was going to drain the swamp not turn the reflecting pool into one. 🙁
Can someone please tell him .... to stop trying to improve Things !!!
The massively incompetent pool boys who did this had better warranty the work. Taxpayers demand a refund and another company who has a clue to repair this national disgrace. Of course he gave some ignoramus moron who cleans his filthy pool in FL to do this without getting any other bids.
MAGA
At least it inspired some great music…. youtu.be/TLDflhhdPCg?...
When you mix corruption, ignorance & incompetence.
Pools are just like everything else... Trump thinks he knows more about it than anyone, but in fact he knows less about it than anyone. He is invariably the dumbest and most ignorant person in the room.
Everything he touches puts money in his pocket and leaves a path of destruction.
Just a reminder to everyone that this cost $14.7 MILLION of taxpayer money. Oh, and the blue paint already starting to chip and flake off just days after being completed.
The trump touch - When everything you touch turns to shit.
The incompetence is staggering. This 3rd world country contracting
The hydrogen peroxide gets diluted and breaks down to water and oxygen. Non-toxic. They filled it with city water which has high levels of orthophosphate. Phosphate is algae food. Add all the hydrogen peroxide you want, if you don’t treat the phosphate level it’s just gonna come back.
Wonder how the Republicans' "greatest businessman" leader made such a bad decision? Would like to see a Fox personality ask Senator Britt why Donald Trump's great business acumen failed so miserably.
It's a fabulous metaphor for the state of the nation, the rise of corruption, and Dipshit's administration (all of which are intertwined, of course).
The Trump second term in picture form. Promises Expensive Corrupt Useless Not fit for purpose Full of shit
The symbolism of the image is just perfect. 👌
Just put a tarp over it?
A symbol for the development of the USA in the last 250 years. 🤣
I’d like to know who the White House spokesperson was who defiantly trashed Obama and Biden’s efforts to fix the pool and claimed that Trump had *permanently* fixed it
He destroys everything he touches.
Arrest everyone
Thats just GROSS
covered in trump SLIME
Conservatives have proven that they are incompetent in everything they do. Never hire one for any sort of serious job.
But… you have to admit, that Green really makes the Flag Blue “Pop”! 😳🤣😂👎🏽
Do we as citizens get a guaranteed 100% of your money back if not satisfied within the first year? Where da money at?
That is a metaphor for the whole of tRump's "presidency".
"Everything he touches ..."
Look , Mountain Dew Stew - Reflecting Pool
Guess science matters after all 🤡
All for the bargain basement price of $14 million, awarded to a pool repair guy he used at Mar-A-Lago in a no-bid contract. And now it’s peeling off of the concrete he created a toxic swamp with peeling paint.
A timeline of fuck-ups, for your consideration 😅
Where’s our refund?
Apparently, everything Donald Trump lays his hands on turns to shit
Stock image of the reflecting pool from Pinterest, before Trump
At least it looked "okay" for a full day!! LMAO! Millions in renovations for a day of clear water. 🤣
He’s a genius.
Perfect metaphor for his presidency
Not good as president, not good as a builder, a con artist.
Dollar Store WH. The super glue story! 💩 NYT “As he was known to prefer his own aesthetic handiwork to anyone else’s,” the authors write, “the sight of the president squeezing glue onto gilded appliqués and mounting them on the wall himself surprised no one in his inner circle.”
So much beauty!
MAGA Karen must have filled it! #Peroxide
BUT LOOK AT HOW TALL IT IS! It’s taller than the Willis Tower, for goodness sake!
President Swamp Maker
Algae are like facts. You can paint all you want beneath them. If the sun shines down on things, they come out.
I think he did it on purpose. If he can't build it himself OR put his name it, then he's going to sabotage it.
When your govt. doesn't take the time to think things through. I was talking about the Iran Forfeit 🙄
Trump wastes other people’s money daily !!
This is a perfect iteration of Donald trumps lifetime of failed companies, scamming people and attempting to portraying the image of a true business leader culminating in the epic failure of our government. It has been slow, grinding and continues to do irreversible damage
Q: Was Trump warned that algae would return? A:
There's a metaphor here somewhere
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, Adam, you made my morning!!! Happy Juneteenth!!!
Raise your hand if you’re surprised by yet another failure and waste of taxpayer money. Anyone?? Anyone? Thought so.
You can see how the pool was clean 3 years ago here www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA-Y...
Views from WaMo cam!
I've seen perception influencer accounts in X posting BS about "radicalized leftists" sabotaging the reflecting pool to make tRUMP look bad. That we hate America & want to destroy the beautification efforts in DC. 🙄😔 No evidence of that (unless algae spores are Antifa).
Everything Trump touches dies.
At least the algae is hiding the fact that all the paint has peeled up in globs.
Revenge is a dish best served cold!
As ugly as he is.
He fucks up everything he touches.
The guy ruins everything.
What a beautiful, enchanting play of colors... (Sarcasm Off)
Libtards!!! This was always the plan. The reflecting pool is just getting a deep cleansing facial and peel!
Well well I smell waste fraud and abuse oh my.
EVERYTHING TRUMP TOUCHES DIES!!!!!!
Great job, not!
