The algae multiplied. Who could have predicted they would do that? It was an entirely novel strategy.
I don’t know what you mean, he stopped testing and the numbers went down.
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.
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
Next week these idiots will be saying “It’s supposed to be green” so that dont have to admit they voted for a fool.
Why would they wait until next week?
The talking points need to percolate through Fox News until they all know what opinion they’re supposed to have.
only to show themselves as one instead, truely one of the bigglyist of plays.
I’d rather vote for the algae too
At least Algae is useful.
Algae produce a shitload of oxygen, so it’s super eco-friendly
i guess that’s 1 way to get him to do whatever it takes to change it
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.

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

Isn’t it a bit late for St. Patrick’s Day?
Or it’s early.
It’s green because Iran’s flag has green and Iran’s a winner.
I don’t understand why they don’t paint it yellow? The green algae and the yellow paint will make it look blue.
Check out Van Gogh over here, mixing colors.

Type shit
shit
“hooray, we did it?”
Can’t wait for the Wikipedia page.
I didn’t see a dedicated page to this incident yet, but there is a section specifically for this event here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Memorial_Reflecting_Pool
Definitely should be a conflict-style page about algae vs Trump war.
Are those green patches of grass to the north the patches that had “8647”?
Wasn’t that on a beach?
Nope
Wait why the “I did that”? I thought the 86 47 was like 86 as a verb to mean “end” and 47 to mean the 47th president. He wouldn’t paint the message to kill him himself right?
Thats how I found it
it was also recently somehow etched into grass somewhere around the whitehouse… like the grass was killed or dried or something
What do you expect when you give the contract for installing the water purification system to a company called Greenwater Services?
Chlorophyll? More like Bore-o-phyll!
looks like a mini-putt, with a giant hole on the end that he’d still miss by a mile.
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)
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
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.
Ok. Well for people who care about patterns, him adding to the pattern of incompetence is worth mentioning.
