So they are going to drain the pool, most likely remove the paint and coating, and return it to its original state

And exactly who are the vandals that poured chemicals into the pool?
Don’t they have cameras all over the place?

And is Trump going use the same pool company that fucked it up to begin
with?

Doesn’t Trump know that Washington and Lincoln are dead so they can’t be offended
by his make believe “vandals?”

I believe the original design of the pool had it so water could slowly drain out from underneath
it and down into the ground water.

1. I suspect they're just going to slap more Tidy-bowl blue coating on the exposed parts.

3. First, they blame stagnant water in the pipes.

First, they blame stagnant water in the pipes.
Then, they blame Biden/Obama.
Now they blame vandalism.

Always have to find new people/things to blame.

4. Pool

Maybe this is what he meant by draining the swamp.

[LisaL]

5. Yes, he is finally going to drain that swamp.

Full of green algae and peeling paint.

6. It was always about the no-bid contract, not about the work

7. Any change from his current new configuration is admitting fault.

[RockRaven]

8. No, the one thing they will absolutely NOT be doing is returning it to its original state.

He never admits to being wrong, no matter how badly things go.

9. ;-{) THIS

10. And they'll refill it with a fresh batch of nutrient-rich river water,

starting the whole cycle over again.

11. nice framing though even if it is all lies from him

[allegorical oracle]

12. Geesh...where to start? Both monuments were nicely reflected in the pool

while I lived in DC except in winter.

Obviously, the renovation did not work perfectly.

Washington and Lincoln may well have taken affront with "The Claw" that's still perched on the now-ruined WH lawn.

He now says the blue-painted portion of the pool was "slashed" with knives.

The truth is that the pool was fine before he "fixed" it -- just like the Hormuz Strait was open before he "fixed" that.

13. Maybe he should just drain it....

...and build another ballroom. He could put anti-aircraft weapons on top of it, to protect himself from his enemies. Then they could store all the nation's gold reserves in its basement. Then, one day, he could get in his new, lush, Qatari jet and fly off into the sunset, never to be seen or heard from again.

14. Drain it and put a rain-canopy over it.

Then turn it into a ball pit for kids to play in.
