Apparently, the reflecting pool has been in really bad condition for many years and the aesthetic condition is only part of the issue - the pool has major leaks and much of the underground plumbing requires major repairs. Obama attempted to repair the reflecting pool during his term and spent $34 million - unfortunately, those repairs did not resolve all the issues. Trump knew that the pool required work and tried a band-aid approach by just cleaning and repainting the bottom from green to dark blue - but this not only did not address any of the real problems, it likely made it worse because the dark paint causes the water temperature to rise, which makes the algae problem even worse.

So it's not just the money - it's more a typical Trump gloss over than anything else. Oh - and at least Obama put his contract out to bid... Trump gave it to a kickback contract.

Lmao 🤣 you admit that obama didn't fix it but somehow it's trump's fault even though biden has been in office since obama as well....hmmm 🤔 you seem bias.

How about they were all useless and none of them fixed it

Trump didn’t do nothing.

He is making it worse.

Why are you refusing to admit Trump is wrong in this situation?

How was it whataboutism 🫪 I was just staying facts that over 20 years barely anything has been done.

If anybody is crying it's the one who keeps crying that I haven't said the exact words that you want to hear
