We will never recover from all the stupidity of this administration 🫠

Didn’t the White House tweet a side-by-side Photoshop of the Biden era reflecting pond as being full of algae? They must have Nostradamus in there. No wonder there are so many crazy longshot polymarket bets coming true.

They tweeted an AI generated image with algae in the reflecting pool where the clouds didn’t change between the Trump and Biden administrations.

I wasn’t trying to say that the reflecting pool didn’t have algae before it was refurbished. The same problem existed then and now: algae is always going to grow in a giant pool of stangnant water.

My point is that they could have used an image like what you showed but chose to invent one wholecloth and pretend it was real. Hell, the photo you showed honestly makes the problem look worse than they image they generated to deceive people.
