Is all the algea gone and the water finally clear like it was before the improvements began?

The algae was gone before the improvements started?

If there was no algae there wouldn't be a need for improvements in the first place

Well he's kind of correct. If there is no water then true, there is no algae.
The problem is that the "reflection" in reflecting pool is created by water. Also probably has something to do with calling it a pool.
Maybe I'm way off here.

Wait for it to play out. If true then he needs punishment. Maybe not 10 years. We will eventually hear from witnesses and not what was written in grand jury charge.

The interesting part is that there were several park employees that backed up the claims...

And I'm going to guess that most DC employees are not pro-Trump...

But, we ARE waiting for it to play out.

One of the most important stories of our time...Geez...

This is the perfect example of how the media portray Republicans vs democrats. This would be hailed as revolutionary if a dem president did this. Instead we get to hear about the cost and algae constantly to the point where it becomes a joke that it was even done.

Said it many times, if you vote dem you're nothing but a useful idiot.

The Enemedia are algae super sleuths, but they are the three blind mice when you ask them about Bidet's mental state, or Hearn's malfeasance. Make that rats, just like their overlords.

Up to 900 feet now

The pool is drained. Where is the 900ft cut?

Not only 900 feet but located on the floor and pulled "with great force". Did antifa sneak a trackhoe past the park police?

Sticking with Trump made it up to cover for his golf course contractor with no experience who further had subcontractor coconspirator who was a fat, cigar-smoking campaign donor invested in ozone nanobubbler wizardry?

Do you have proof what Trump said is inaccurate?

Besides the fact that nobody seems able to provide any evidence of this now 300 yard long cut in the floor of the pool that was "pulled with great force", and the fact that literally every time trump gets on social media the cut seems to grow exponentially, I guess you are right, I have nothing. I will now start taking all of the dear leader's late night ramblings as gospel as you appear to do.

I don't take anything regarding pool liners as gospel.

But so far Trump has proven correct and you… not so much.

Weird response. I must assume Trump has lied or I worship "dear leader"?

You do realize charges have been filed, correct?

Has anything been offered that Trump lying other than they evaluated things further after the pool was drained?

Who is charged with creating a 300, no a 900 ft tear? Was it an individual or a team of people that somehow infiltrated the national mall under surveillance and no one saw it? The Olympian went to see the already damaged liner. Sure he touched it or maybe even more than that but that's like saying a person who picks up fallen debris from Columbia as the cause of the Columbia disintegration. Line was already compromised when he arrived. Are there others that that created the 900ft gash? Why cant Trump show us an a Birds Eye view photo of the pool and draw a line as to where this 900ft gash is. We all know he can use a sharpie. Even a circle of the region of the pool that has the 900 ft cut in the liner would at least let people know what general region it is at

Why do you think he is NOT telling the truth?

Disrespecting a terrible accident in your attempt to paint Orange Man as bad is disgusting to me.

Line was damaged, people have been charged. Trump's bloviating on the length, strength and such is sort of irrelevant.

People damaged the liner buy cutting it. Fact. Pulling on damaged materials to cause further damage is not a curious passerby.

Enjoy the next 2.5 years.

So they drained it and didn't find any 300 yard long cuts, but they did find some tire tracks.

Better get Scooby Doo and the gang on the case to see who could have driven across a pool.

Do you have a reliable source that reports the cuts and tire tracks?

To be fair Trump did have them take him across the new surface in the motorcade.

I think it's funny folks get so worked up. It doesn't matter if the buffoons destroyed 9mm or 9 miles, the ****ers needn't be destroying Trumps work.

It's property destruction, federal that is, and they should be taught a lesson.

This thread cracks me up and is so typical.

Things go well for the reflecting pool and the libs disappear.

Fresh news on repairs and here they come again.

It absolutely does matter. If people committed vandalism, punish them, but to try and frame the situation as the problems are a result of vandalism when their actions had a thousand times the effect is disingenuous at best. Rational people would hold both parties responsible and assign blame accordingly.

Sure. But have you presented evidence it is not 900 feet? Because until then, what are we holding Trump responsible for? Protecting federal property? Making things better? Calling our the lunacy and derangement of those who simply hate America?

Are you contending Trump broke some law? Should he be impeached?

Interested in just what Trump has done wrong?
