      I can’t believe Obama climbed into the pool in the middle of the night wearing his tan suit and scraped the paint off the side of the pool while Joe Biden stood by and threw algae spores into the water!! LOL!

      I’m legit stunned by this reflection pool thing. It’s such an incredible metaphor for this regime.

      Pouring huge amounts of chlorine and peroxide was probably a brilliant idea

      The fact that a sitting president has been allowed to change so much is ridiculous. White House demolished, pools repainted.

      Full transparency – I’ve never painted a pool. In fact I’ve never applied paint to an outdoor surface legally.

      I have, however, spent multiple years working in a paint department. This feels very much like when I explain to a customer that you cannot spray paint styrofoam and they laugh and call me stupid only for them to try and sneak by me the very next day to rebuy all the styrofoam they melted the day before because they didn’t want to listen.

      Except now I’m the one paying for the styrofoam.

      We should all be reflecting on the reflecting pool. The reflecting pool reflects this age of America.

      No one could see this coming at all – no sir , its a shock, 4 real and stuff

      Strong concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (such as 12% to 35% often used in heavy-duty pool treatments or commercial cleaners) can break down the binders in paint. This can cause the paint to peel, bubble, or lift off entirely

      I just still can’t believe that they even painted it in the first place. Like did they really not think it was strange that *no one had ever thought to do that before?* Or that maybe it was made the way it was… for a REASON?!

      I’m sure he paid the vendor $100 and then pocketed the rest among him and his boys.

      This whole administration is just butterfly effect

      Like we already have the parasites unleashed from DOGE, who knows what other horrors are coming down the pipeline from that

      And now we have the pool that cost $14M even though it still hasn’t actually been repaired, the bottom has some kind of leak that the resurfacing didn’t fix. They didn’t chlorinate the water so algae immediately bloomed and I suspect the massive amounts of peroxide are reacting to the pool bottom and causing it to peel

      “I don’t know why Trump swallowed the fly…”

      Out of state contractor, likely used the wrong paint and pocketed millions of taxpayer funds that likely AT LEAST make it back to some of their ‘Interests’; if not trump directly.

      Another grift. He should sign each chunk and sell them to his cult to squeeze a bit more out of this grift.

      Are they gonna blame the libs for this, too? George Soros jumped in the pool and scratched off chunks of paint when nobody was looking?

    27. Cooper206 on

      Such a fucking moron!!! He should have to pay for this!
      Doesn’t do any research, just plows ahead, spending TAXPAYER MONEY…didnt even get quotes just hired his “pool guy” bullshit
      So sick of this guy.

      Cause the contracts are just money laundering for his mates. Of course it’s piss poor quality.

    34. JanewaysSalamander on

      It didn’t have time to cure. The shallowness means it’s heated underneath. They dumped corrosive chemicals into it. Has not one person involved taken any basic science classes? The stupidity is staggering.

      Someone said “if a writer came up with this, everyone would call it heavy-handed” and I think about that all the time

      a decade ago, we would’ve said this was too silly and unrealistic if this whole reflecting pool saga happened in an episode of Veep

      This country is so great!!! You might say great AGAIN!!! He’s doing such a swell job!!!

      This country is in the fucking dumps
