A reflecting pool needs to be dark on the bottom. If it’s bright blue, too much light bounces off the bottom and overwhelms the reflection.
Literally nothing Trump does isn’t fucking stupid and wasteful.
The ducks will have it dark brown in no time.
The blue is darker than the concrete it is being painted on
I mean, maybe it’s technically “darker” the literal sense, but any unfinished concrete is going to scatter light differently than glossy blue paint. And I don’t have anything against cleaning and maintaining the pool. It’s normal maintenance that has to happen every so often.
But if this doesn’t look tacky as shit and make it harder to see the reflection, I’ll eat a hat.
My search for “large pool” on DDG that was very generic, but a straight-on view:

All the current pictures makes it look like shit so I have no idea what it’ll end up looking like, if it gets finished. Any blue is going to look tacky if they keep it clean; otherwise, it’ll get dark and murky and if that happens what was the point?
Painting, not repainting. That was beautiful natural granite before he shat all over it
Right? It’s like Mar-a-Lago face for a pool.
I would love a scenario where this asshole is just aware enough to see Democrats revert every single one of his stupid fucking vanity projects in just a few short days.
All that tacky gold shit - have crews ripping it down and record all of it. Same with anything else associated with this piece of shit.
Make it go viral. Like that picture of Bondi in the trash can.
Most of all I cannot wait to see those banners of his ugly scowling mug torn down.
Same but “decorum” is still high on the Dem leadership’s standards.
Some of it I agree, some of it seems like a waste of resources to reverse. Paying a contractor to rip out the stuff a contractor was paid to install for no reason other than “trump did this” seems almost as dumb a use of funds as the original project.
Then we take the funds from something like ICE and point that out. Explain that we would not have had to do this if the Republicans (and by implication, the idiots that vote for them) had enough balls to restrain this stuff in the first place.
I’m more for taking the money away from ICE and putting it into social safety nets. It makes no sense to me to turn around and re-re-model just because trump did it, washing the tax dollars that could actually be used to help people.
Feels like a massive waste of money, and all to thumb your nose at idiots who won’t even realize what’s going on in reality.
Restoring any amount of dignity to our government is worth the cost, I would say.
This. That asshat should not get to permanently lift his leg on everything public and we just have to sit there and look at it for decades after.
Fuck that noise. Taking his name off of things and/or reverting them should not be very costly.
Not attacking you, but “we’ll restore that dignity by dramatically reverting the merely surface-level Trump changes” is exactly what we’ll get.

Quite seriously, as someone caring for a parent with dementia, that’s entirely typical behavior.
Well… you know… except the scale is a bit different for someone who isn’t the fucking president.
His brains are just oatmeal. Time to cart him off to retire in his swampy golf resort.
Looks like a chemical toilet now.
It’s going to cost so much to de-stink the WH and remove his stain from all the public buildings he’s tainted…
All the gross statues of his ugly ass… All the gaudy cheap looking bullshit he invested the WH with. If I lived over on the east coast I would fucking VOLUNTEER to help.
Yes, and please god I hope all of it is recorded, from multiple angles.
Make a few documentaries celebrating the detrumpification.
Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if the next administration that inherits the mess this regime leaves behind sets up shop in another building for a while. Just to get things going again and properly renovate/repair what’s left.
It’s crucial not to forget regular life during war time. This is why mister president is busy chasing his deep passion for little children. Truly an inspiring figure.
Is working like a charm isn’t it?
You’re now concerned about the color of the bottom of a reflection pool.
It’s the “why the clown?” joke.
…and building a ballroom, don’t forget that!
But what about the Trump-Epstein™ files?

Repainting, not repairing any of the leakage issues causing the algae in the first place.
It’s going to be so much uglier when the algae returns and you have a bright fucking blue backing to it.
I hope he tries to do a cannonball into it.
I hope he does it before they fill it back up and he cannonballs onto concrete.
It’s like 2 ft deep, his lard ass is hitting that bottom like a boulder.
Not seeing a downside.
It’s the entire reason I want him to.
Yep. Gotta handle the important things, y’know.
