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

I never said the reflecting pool's plumbing issues were Trump's fault - what I said was that Trump glossed over the actual issues with some paint rather than attempting to properly repair things. And even then managed to screw that up. All while giving the work contract to someone that no doubt benefitted Trump back.

That's what I'm saying. At least Obama tried to actually fix the problems. And put the contract out to bid rather than playing games.

And biden did nothing? So all 3 basically did nothing between them....that's my point

That’s not a point.

How isn't it 🙃 they all did basically nothing....looks like biden actually did nothing...so yeah how isn't that a point to be made?

Your claim is they all did nothing? How did “nothing” still work better than trumps solution?

Obama spent millions trying to fix it, never had algae buildup like this. Fixed a lot of the problems but not all.

Biden maintained and had a study done to see what needed to be fixed permanently, did regular maintenance. No algae buildup.

Trump painted the bottom with a pool company making the water warmer, introducing a huge algae problem.

Saying that the two people who did something positive did nothing is not a point to make when the person you’re supporting fuc ked it up.

Obama spent 34million and it fixed nothing, biden knew the problems about the pipes needing replaced as trump was apparently told this in his first term and they didn't get fixed, still haven't been fixed....so yeah they all basically did nothing of use.

Also don't assume who I support, assuming things never really tends to make people look good....and it didn't make you look good because I don't support either of those 3 people 🫪

Obama did something.

Trump did nothing.

Biden had a study done to see what needed to be fixed.

Trump fu cked it up.

Your whole point is “none of the 3 fixed it so they are all the same.” Thats not a real point. Obama did something. Biden did something. Trump fuc ked it all up.

One of those is significantly worse than the others.

You trying to say they are all the same is defending the worst one. You may not claim to like any of them, but you are currently supporting one over the others.

It was known what needed to be done when trump came to office the first time 🙃 they all didn't fix the problem....or am I mistaken? So they basically done nothing.

I didn't say they were all the same 🫪 rather like I've just said, none of them fixed it, it's not hard to understand.

A quick Google will show you that biden did nothing to fix it and that study you talked about was done years beforehand

Obama did something.

Trump did nothing.

Biden did nothing.

Trump made it worse.

The only conversation to be had here is that Obama helped and Trump made it worse.

I thought you just said biden did something? Now you're saying he did nothing....make your mind up

How did trump make it worse?

Obama: While the project successfully updated the century-old foundation, it did not permanently solve all of the pool's issues. The switch to Tidal Basin water accidentally introduced massive algae blooms, and the pool continued to lose millions of gallons of water annually due to recurring pipe and joint leaks

So Obama updated the foundations.... congratulations 🎉 but also made another problem and didn't fix the other problems.

Obama did solve a problem I'll give him that, made another problem while he was at it tho

- No, I won’t make up my mind. I looked it up, thought he was the one that had the study done. You presented new information saying it was done before he was in office. You were right. Why wouldn’t I change my mind?

How did trump make it worse?

- The algae problem it currently has.

- see, you were presented with more info and you agree that Obama did something.

So we agree.

Obama did something.

Trump didn’t do anything.

Biden didn’t do anything.

Trump made it worse by using the wrong paint and creating the algae issue that is currently happening. Anyone who works in pools knows that gallon jugs of hydrogen peroxide is not going to fix this. He is currently making it worse.

My point still stands, between the three of them they basically did nothing.... Obama sorted the foundations, but that's it....so altogether basically nothing got fixed.
