“It’s puke green. I want to puke. This is how ugly it is.”
President Trump’s $14 million renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was intended to turn the water “American flag blue.” But just weeks after reopening, the pool has turned green with algae.
MS NOW’s Julia Jester reports asked people what they think of its new color.

Her running 😂😂😂😂
**BREAKING NEWS** Trump says he is building a wall around the Reflection Pool and is making the algae-rians pay for it!
They think peeling off some uplifted paint is innocent; but it's disrespectful to Trump and his quest to revitalize D.C. just before our country's 250th birthday. Frankly, it's a disrespect to America. It's like wanting America to crumble under the immprovements of a President that one dispises. It's like breaking even more something that is starting to break off. What if I peel even more and let it hang down low paint that is starting to peel on the front surface of your house? It's vandalism and disrespect for America and this deserves jail time.
stupid democrats dumping algee in the pool to turn it green and pretend its was a failure.
Those people should be in jail for years and your democrat Judges will let them go.
its nothing new with the algae problem, since its creation its always had algae issues look up the info instead of spatting garbage
Good job america
BS
If it ain’t broken, why in df would you bother it? His vanity is destroying US!!!!
So we are supposed to be worried about a green pond now.😂 before anyone says it's not about the pond, but the money he spent on the pond. 14mil is a drop in the bucket of the 7 trillion they spend every year, .02% to be exact. Maybe worry about something more meaningful.
All it needs is a few sewer alligators and lots of mosquitos
Biblical
I dont get our government spend millions on useless stuff but I am paying 4 dollars a gal for gas……etc etc etc
The guy never takes the blame for anything. Blames vandals now despite cameras all over the place that should be able to show anybody running across the pool with a box cutter.
He's also now blaming oil companies for high gas prices because they're gouging consumers. If gas price ever get back to 3 bucks, I wonder who is going to take the credit.
It’s Iranian green.
It'll look great for St. Patrick's day. 😂
We went to Washington about 10 years ago & the pool was green & full of algae then.
I guess Trump doesn't have the Midas touch afterall. And look at the fake gold decorations he's turned the Oval office into a graudy eye sore 🫣
Omfg just put copper pennies into the pool.
Well in all honesty – green is a beautiful colour…
I was just there today. I interviewed the ducks and baby ducks. They are happy and drinking the water.
I’m opening a contract bet it’ll stay green before trump is out of office and will stay green even after.
This is an absolute nightmare. I can’t believe we’re living in this dystopian reality where our taxpayer dollars are wasted. We need to pay more in tax dollars so they could go to good causes, but I can’t live with myself anymore knowing that a government official wasted money that could’ve gone to some dying cancerous child in Africa.
Just put blue dye in it 🤷
34 million. Thats how much Obama spent on it. Didnt fix it. His solution. Keep draining and refilling. Do a story on that.
1. The pool was to be improved, but it was made worse.
2. Trump's donor got a $1.7 million contract.
What is most likely to have motivated Trump's decisions?
Every single thing that traitor Trump touches gets ruined! Every time!
Its puke green says the woman whos wearing a top the same colour 😂
Everything trump touches dies!
The first lady has a puke green shirt on and wants to puke because of the water color 😂
But wait, there's more…..
We the people gave this president full fledge😢 to ruin all our historical buildings and attractions in any city the ball room yep tax payers paying for the additional cost good going people who voted him in . Yep you did this let’s see what else he can ruin nice job,
