to seal your driveway. Yup.

The board members he appointed stalled so they could award it no-bid to a company Trump said he used at one of his golf courses…..then had never heard of two days later.

but when I painted my concrete garage floor I had to treat it with muriatic acid to get the paint to stick.

How many million did they pay the people who painted the pool? Are we sure it was the peroxide that loosened the paint?

With color embedded in it.

Drain and spray on new cement mixture..

We use a mixture of HP and baking soda to lift dirt between tiles

He only “solves” issues he creates.

Maybe create an art installation or something.

Is installing bleachers, filling the pool with dirt, and making a semi-permanent, outdoor, Tractor Pull Venue..........

Quite likely a mini stadium, with retractable roof, so he can hold the events year round, .............

Anyone else, got any ideas how he could further desecrate the areas around the White House & Capitol??????

and do watercross with motorcycles in the summer and snowmobiles in the winter. Loads of fun. Bud light for all!

Obama tried to fix it for many millions and it failed. The conclusion was it needed to be completely re-done for 300 million. Money that was never appropriated. I fear Trump trying to do it--he'll spend even more and will botch it. Because he won't hire experts, only his cronies.

I'm a bit concerned for my country. Are we strong enough to survive? I'm honestly not sure. Yes, I know it's not just trump, but he's the figure head. Screw all republicans. May they never have internal peace.

alleviating some of the pressure on the country, but it’s feeling very touch and go.

How to Make the Paste
Mix the ingredients: Combine 3 parts baking soda with 1 part standard 3% hydrogen peroxide in a small bowl.Add soap: Stir in a small squirt (about 1 teaspoon) of liquid dish soap to help cut through tough grease.Check the consistency:
Apply the mixture: Spread the paste directly onto your tiles and grout lines using a stiff-bristled brush or an old toothbrush.Scrub and let sit: Work the paste into the crevices using circular motions, then let it sit on the tiles for 10 to 15 minutes.Rinse thoroughly: Wipe away the paste with a damp cloth or sponge, then rinse the area well with clean water to prevent a baking soda haze.

Important TipsCaution for stone: Avoid using hydrogen peroxide on natural stone tiles (like marble) or colored grout, as it can cause etching or fading.

By the way a firm broom is just as good as the toothbrush/scrubbing brush😀
I’m not getting that low.

Another excellent example of incompetent grifting

At least it would reflect...

Pilots would hate it, though. They'd go blind when flying over DC.

What a travesty.

A good and honest contractor would not have permitted a fleet of vehicles to parade around the pool because it was never constructed to be roadworthy. Definitely educate the consumer about the paint and colors that is needed for the desired effect. The detention pond where they stored the water is where the additives and cleaning could have been done during the time the project was in repair. For 14 million taxpayer dollars, the company should be responsible and now, accountable. If the complaint that the consumer (TSF) did not take advice or demanded it done his way, the company should have bowed out of the project.

Trump thinks good and honest people are low IQ losers.

lol

as a genius solution only he could think of to this new example of buffoonish, self-inflicted friendly-fire.

National monument is so degraded and nearly destroyed. When I saw "the Beast" and all those attendant monster SUVs driving over it a few months ago, it was such a kick in the face. I do not know why there was not more outrage at that desecration. They could have at least driven near it and someone carted Trump's fat ass out there in a golf cart if necessary, but to drive over it? I'm still livid.

Someone might have snuck in at night and thrown crumpled up sheets of blue plastic in there.

The National Mall workers would need to drain the pool again and determine whether the paint is actually detaching from the pool bottom. And why would it detach in sheets, if that is what's happening? Why isn't the paint just dissolving into small suspended particles and turning the water blue?

I'm not a paint professional, but neither were the people who did this half-assed job. Who told them to throw peroxide into the pool, and why did they think that would kill the algae?

We have questions....

Will he claim that it was intentional?

"Such a beautiful pool. Nobody has ever seen such a beautiful one like it."

...rhey used the wrong kind of paint and/or primer.
Super diluted peroxide shouldn't remove paint unless they was something wrong in the first place.
Given this is the gang that can't do anything right, I'm going with execution error.

The board members he appointed stalled so they could award it no-bid to a company Trump used at one of his golf courses…..then had never heard of two days later.

The company is legit. They do work for Va. Dept of Transportation.

New Canton Va is a town so small you’d have to know where it is to say you’ve driven through it.

…paint was used, and having used some of those coatings myself on the job, I can attest that there are quite stringent requirements for the prep and priming work. I’ll bet that for below-the-waterline applications, it’s even more the case.

As others have mentioned here already, this is looking like yet another Trump hack job.

I've dealt with a few contractors who did shoddy work for a good dollar. Has eroded my trust of contractors.

There best be a review or investigation into the funding of this clusterfuck. I'm sure a couple million were skimmed off the top.

And maybe they should dunk trump in it all the way up to the greasy dustbunny on top of his head.

Good ain't cheap, cheap ain't good ,never has been never will be.

And, we all know goddamn well that the motherfucker was lining his pockets with part of those millions that just got wasted.

Remove him.

they put that34 felony shitstain there.

makes one wonder where the other 160,000,000+ were ?

advising them?

Probably because Bloaty wants to build there. Destroy it and devalue it first, then proceed with development plans..

That would only weigh maybe 10000 lbs,

I see the American Flag blue paint is even trying to escape this algae infestation. The paint is actually lifting off of the bottom…👇

In other Trump failure news, the million “repair” of the reflection pool gets more disastrous with each passing day.

On top of the algae issues, Trump’s “American flag blue” paint is now peeling away from the pool in large chunks, & floating to the surface.

The kings marvelous work 🤣🤣🤣

That was the whole point. He doesn't care about anything else.

(especially if it was done by Obama) and then make it much worse after spending more thatn it shoudl have cost, and then just say it's grest.

I think we should all start writing our Representatives and Senators to DEMAND a bill that FORCES the Orange Menace to write a check from a personal account (no donor bullshit) to pay for the repairs & restoration of the pool to it original state. No ifs, ands or butts. And see to it that a competent professional company, selected by Congress is hired for the project. No Trump lackeys.

A no blaming Joe Biden either !

Note:
When he refuses, stop his paycheck to cover the costs

Peels off with the first car wash.

Lets talk about Hunter Biden or trans people

a Republican wasting money unnecessarily while the needy go hungry.

Now close it down, drain it, remove all of that blue paint, expose the original (granite?) stone,
and open up some areas that the original designers and builders had that let some of the
water seep out underneath the pool and go down and join up with the ground water which
is not too far down and @ the same level as the tidal basin/Potomac river.

The reflecting pool was working just fine as it was before Trump fucked it up.

has made my day. Thank you.

I have no idea what to call our 250th Birthday celebration.
This was supposed to be beautiful for the 4th of July.

I guess this is what happens when we have Mierda47, who thinks he knows everything & goes outside government regulations and experts.

Everything Mierda47 touches, turns to $h1t.

standing at the edge and staring bleakly into the Pool with a "holy s**t" look on his face, fully realizing that he totally f****d up yet again. It's almost a metaphor for the GOP reception of his Iran deal after thinking he had done so well. He ain't the stable genius he thinks he is.

set up a bunch of cheap umbrella tables, and call it The Reflecting Pool Club.

they didn’t consult Pam Bondi about the effects of peroxide on color.

This is an allegory of this hopeless regime (as if we needed one).

Can we survive another 2 years of these morons? They have to go.

Rocky Mountain Mike has a parody song with this title played on the Stephanie Miller Show this morning. Hilarious. I couldn't find it on his YouTube page. Probably not posted yet.

I haven't heard it yet, but I'm sure it deliciously wicked. Rocky Mountain Mike is very good at what he does.

Isn't there some nice blue algae they could dump in there? Much more pleasant-looking than that green stuff.



Except that the blue algae can harm any dogs that choose to take a swim.
