The new Trump reflecting pool is a big hit… with algae

[postman]

Like I said, it was part of the repairs/renovation.

If that's what you said, then what you said was a lie.

No. The water treatment upgrade was not part of the contract to paint and waterproof the basin.

Federal contracting records show the two systems were handled under separate agreements:

Painting Contract: A $14.2 million contract was awarded to Virginia-based Atlantic Industrial Coatings to waterproof the basin and paint it "American Flag Blue"

Water Treatment Contract: A separate $1.7 million contract was awarded to Green Water Solutions for the installation of the state-of-the-art ozone nanobubbler filtration system intended to keep algae out of the water.

So it was an integral part of the repair/restoration project.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for confirming you're a liar. See what I just posted

You do understand what a separate contract, to a different contractor means it's not part of the same job.

I didn't say it was.

LOL

You're such a clown.

Actually you did say it was.

That system was put in by the Department of the Interior, not the contractors for painting (and waterproofing) the pool.

AI Overview

Yes, the 2026 renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool included water filtration enhancements. The Trump administration awarded a contract to Ohio-based Greenwater Services to add an upgraded water-purification system to the pool.
Filtration Upgrade Specifics

• Nanobubbler Technology: The upgraded system utilizes advanced nanobubbler technology designed to destroy algae and cut down on its food supply.
• Contract Details: The federal contract for the filtration system was valued at $1.74 million and was part of the overarching $14.2 million makeover of the monument's shallow basin.

________

To repair the pool, Trump’s administration awarded no-bid contracts to two hand-picked vendors, bypassing a legally required process of seeking competitive bids because of what officials declared an urgent need. (The administration said the urgency was justified because of the nation’s 250th birthday party.)

The first no-bid contract went to a Virginia-based company, Atlantic Industrial Coatings, to seal leaky joints between the pool’s concrete slabs and coat the slabs with the dark blue waterproofing material. The second went to Ohio-based Greenwater Services to add an upgraded water-purification system.

Atlantic Industrial Coatings finished its work June 4, and the pool was refilled soon after. It is unclear whether the new purification system has been installed yet.

Trump Ordered ‘American Flag Blue’ for the Reflecting Pool. It’s Green Again.

It's the fact that your crew is no better.... I see you couldn't comprehend that.

Obama hasn’t been president in 100 years. Trying to deflect from the CURRENT presidents failures is derangement syndrome. Evaluating an existing president is timely and what voters do. I see you couldnt comprehend that.

 

[Delldude]

I see you couldnt comprehend that.

I see Obama had the same problems. That would indicate a common issue.

Sorry you couldn't comprehend that.

More Obama derangement on display.

So both presidents did repairs/renovations and both had the same startup issues.
It doesn't appear to be a Trump only issue.

ONLY Trump posted social media after social media post about how Obama was to blame for his green pool and HE was going to fix it with AI renderings. Looks like it is a pretty big problem that cant be fixed with blaming the black president and mean tweeting. Looks like an actual plan is needed which Trump is incompetent at. But who knows? Maybe mean tweeting is the answer. We will see.

You cant make it up….. Trump is injecting the pool with disinfectant like he wanted to do for Covid!!!

Bwhahahahahhahahahaaahahahahahaahahhaahahahahaa

“And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? ... So it'd be interesting to check that.”

 

[Political-Junkie]

It's no longer a reflecting pool.

Trump has appropriately turned it into a swamp, which is a reflection of his administration.

The illegal no-bid contract to an under qualified friend is definitely Trump only.

All he does is (1) create chaos due to his own stupidity and incompetence, and (2) accuse others of being stupid and incompetent.

Projection is often amusing. This is not amusing.

 

[Political-Junkie]

That's what your boy Obama spent and it wasn't fixed.

It's got even better since then...

So Trump ignored all that, and instead did a rush paint job for 10 times the original estimate. And didn't address the underlying problems.

Kinda like painting a rusty car.

Obama spent 34 million dollars on that pool and accomplished nothing

Did you know that every year in the spring that pool is emptied and it’s cleaned and necessary repairs are made?
