Will Algaegate be Trump's (Green) Watergate?


MAKING AMERICA GREEN AGAIN!

I blame the plumbers.
I blame Grok.
I blame Joe Biden.
It was done for National Security!
ICE will cure it. Freeze the damn thing now!

Iran is rapidly developing the BLOOMSDAY MACHINE

What?

It's a giant bomb that automatically explodes when incoming sunlight is detected.

The White House is urging passage of a bill to cover the nation (or just the reflecting pool) with a giant tarp.

I think Obama had a worse algae fate when it came to the pool, but he didn't brag the rennovations ahead of time, so Obama's greenwater barely registered because it was just algae.

But Trump was going to cure big bad algae forever and make it American flag blue for his B-day and the 250th B-day. The algae prone reflecting pool was going to look like a big blue crystal clear swimming pool!

This silly pool thing is a reflection of Trump's bragging about "I'm the best. I only know the best. I only do the best". It's also a reflection of his DC projects. Unfortunately, umongst his projects this one is the least harmless. The pool has always been "an issue". His UFC ring, Ballroom, Arch of Trump are the scary ones.

So this trivial thing is humorous. But I'm not laughing at the ballroom or arc of Trump......
If this flop can stave off those large projects, then it's worth it....

We see a reflecting pond (or saw one), but he sees this every day, his reflection in the mirror.
