The fuck is happening with a pool and algae?
Someone tainted the DC reflecting pool, probably as an anti-Trump thing, and now a lot of leftie people are going "stop making such a fuss about it! It's just algae!"
@silverscreeny either Obama or Biden's administration decided to "save water" and spent millions on replacing the previous system, I think technically called a "spigot" that used city water, which was clean, potable, and chlorinated, with water from the nearby Potomac River, but didn't circulate the water. So the Reflecting Pool of the Washington Monument was a stagnant pool of river water, growing mosquitos and algae and stinking. Trump, in his patented irascible and hyperbolic way, made a big deal about fixing the problem. He hired a company that drained, cleaned, and resealed the Pool's interior. For several days, using city water, the pool was clean and free of algae. Then the algae started coming back and this was reported by media outlets that already didn't like Trump, as being personally and directly his fault. It might be that disgruntled municipal workers sabotaged it but more than one person has been recorded throwing suspicious clumps that may be algae from the river into the Pool. Additionally there have been incidents of people cutting or ripping the lining. Ostensibly to prove how awful Trump is.
If I recall correctly, he wasn't the main cause, but he *did* contribute to the pool's state due to poor upkeep and poor choices, because he had them paint the bottom blue to try and make it reflect better, which increased water temperature and spurned the growth of algae.
And now he's actually kinda fucked it up further by having them pour gallons and gallons of peroxide into the pool, which caused the paint to degrade and peel and muck up the water further.
Should be noted that there has now been reportings of dead ducks in the water, and we can't tell what kind of Algae it is, and they can't tell what kind of Algae it is (people are claiming it's harmless but then we probably wouldn't have dead ducks in the beginning) because the hydrogen is decaying the algae cells to the point we can't identify it.
