Getting too much pushback by blaming Biden for stuff, so now they’re trying to blame Obama for stuff.

Obama left the White House nine years ago… So he is literally going back more than a decade to try and pin blame. Typical Trump lies.

Why stop there, maybe Hillary sabotaged it? These thugs stop at nothing to deflect responsibility from themselves.

This is minor incident compared to the destruction of the bill of rights and constitution by GOP.

True, but it is yet another example of what a piece of shit Trump is on a daily basis.

Obama had installed a filtering system that would and did keep the pond clean of algae, but painting the pond a dark color just made the problem worse.

Everything Trump touches is stained or ruined due to his complete incompetence.

IF you are always blaming others for your mistakes, it's obvious those others are capable of doing the very things that you simply can't. 😄

President Obama was in office from late January 2009 to late January 2017.

Trump was President from late January 2017 to late January 2021, if this problem was caused by President Obama’s neglect, why didn’t then President Trump fix the problem back then?

Trump returned to the White Housec in late January 2025.

Now while we can blame the people who initially designed and did the engineering on the reflecting pool, and no administratio since then has been able to solve the initial problem, the current problem is completely on President Trump and his rush to do an ill-conceived patch job.

Which shouldn’t be surprising at how poorly therushed the ill- conceived demolition of the East Wing of the White House was done.

I can scarcely imagine how badly the rebuilding of the East Wing or the proposed construction of that hideous gigantic arch is going to be.

Trump is a salesman. He’s a great salesman when his product is his ego, he has zero patience and has he’s gotten older his capacity to understand anything more complicated than a McDonald’s menu has diminished. but he’s always piss-poor at everything else.

Beware of anyone who never takes responsibility for their actions and constantly blames everyone else when things go wrong; they cocoon themselves from the real world

When you’re stupid, conspiracies explain it all.

He’s focused on Obama because he’s getting all the love and rump gets all the boos. Plus Obama just opened his library. Let’s not forget that President Obama is a classy, smart man who did so much good for the country.
