Repair and restoration work continues at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Wednesday.
Not that long ago, “reflecting pool” just meant reflecting pool. Now, thanks to President Trump, it’s quickly become synonymous with terms like “debacle,” “fiasco,” and “hilarious never-ending shitshow.” Who’s to blame for this epic ongoing mess of green and American Flag Blue? Definitely not Donald Trump or his administration, according to Donald Trump and his administration. Below is a guide to whom or what they can blame, and in some cases already have.
Soon after the Trump administration deemed its multimillion-dollar renovation of the reflecting pool complete, observers noticed pieces of the pool’s Trump-approved “American Flag Blue” color coating were beginning to peel away. So much for those no-bid contracts!
Experts say the new darker color Trump chose for coating the bottom of the reflecting pool may also be making the water warmer and thus more susceptible to algae growth. And if you visit the reflecting pool and see a piece of peel, don’t touch it or you might end up facing federal charges.
The American Flag Blue coating is a triple threat.
