Trump's $14M Reflecting Pool Paint Job Is Now Peeling Off In Chunks​


President Donald Trump positioned himself as a swimming pool expert as he touted the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovations he ordered this year, having put in "more than 100" over his career.

But after spending $14 million, the reflecting pool now looks arguably worse than it did before.

Aside from the green hue of the water, the product of what is reportedly one of the largest algae blooms in recent years, the "industrial-grade swimming pool topping" that Trump chose is already peeling off in sheets.

Visitors took notice of the floating material on Thursday. A man who gave his name as Sean told HuffPost that he had experience working on swimming pool coatings in the past, and did not seem surprised to see the peeling.

"This is an epoxy," he said of the coating. "This is something you would do on a concrete — on a shot concrete sort of pool where you have leaking. And then you spray this out. But in a pool, you're dealing with a whole lot less square feet. So you can do special treatments on it … so it isn't going to come back up."

now the useless malignant narcissus is blaming...wait for it...vandals..

expect no charges to be laid against the ... er .. vandals - that is horace q frump to you and me

"...Donald Trump has blamed “vandalism” for “real problems” at Washington’s reflecting pool after an algae bloom in the wake of a $14.2m renovation of the site he declared would turn it “American flag” blue. Paint has also been seen peeling off in the water. He also made claims that vandals had been arrested.

Days after his administration claimed the pool was actually “crystal clear”, despite an unmistakably green hue, the US president acknowledged issues – and, without evidence, blamed foul play.

“We’ve cleaned, renovated, and beautified over 45 Monuments and Memorials, 28 Statues, and 22 Fountains in Washington, DC,” Trump wrote in a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform on Friday night. “However, we’ve had some real problems with Vandalism at the beautiful Reflecting Pool, which sits between The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial.”

A three-time US Olympian and canoeist was arrested on Friday after noticing a partly detached piece of the blue liner and reaching into the water to see what it felt like, he said.

“I didn’t vandalize anything,” David Hearn, who had been cycling, told the Washington Post. “I didn’t destroy or break or peel anything. By the time I realized what was going on, I was being put in handcuffs.”

Trump ordered a refurbishment project to turn the pool “American Flag blue” ahead of the country’s 250th birthday celebrations. The site – one of Washington DC’s most historically symbolic attractions – has been one element of his efforts to recondition Washington during his second term.


arresting someone who has not lied, cheated or stolen his way to national honours is meat and drink to the fraud
masquerading as a "leader".

just pathetic
