“What Trump did wrong” is rape kids.
That’s just the top of a long list
What’s that have to do with the pool?
Did he do it in the reflecting pool!?
What it all comes down to is simple.
Trump wanted to rush it for his birthday and likely pushed the contractor into saying it would work
Contractor was Trumps Mar-a-lago buddies and hired directly without questions asked. Didn’t know what they were doing.
Trump doesn’t have friends… don’t underestimate the possibility that they warned Trump. And he said to ignore the warning
Otherwise Trump would be suing already…
The contractor clearly has some kind of leverage, which is preventing Trump from blaming them… And I suspect thats a number of witnesses who can confirm they warned him
Even better, the website for the company called GREENWATER says one of their strengths is ALGAE ERADICATION.
Lol. Since when does this administration care about what scientists think?
I do wonder how much of these inflated contracts get kickbacked, to the president directly, but also to others in the administration.
What was standard in the old city boss days, what did boss tweed charge percentage wise?
Step back to 2016 and don’t run?

Google Gemini Summary: The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has a documented history of recurring algae blooms since its opening in 1922 due to its shallow depth, warm temperatures, and high nutrient levels from waterfowl.
The recent $15 million renovation, which included painting the pool dark blue, worsened the issue; the dark color acts as a heat sink, creating a more favorable environment for algae growth.
The project was executed via two non-competitive, no-bid contracts, including one with a company whose primary experience was with golf course pool maintenance.
Authorities treated the algae with hydrogen peroxide before formally identifying the species, which risks killing the organism and releasing dangerous toxins if the bloom is actually cyanobacteria.
This chemical treatment likely caused the new pool liner paint to peel and detach, rather than the “vandalism” by the public that was claimed by officials.
The death of several birds in and near the water has raised concerns about toxic cyanobacterial blooms, though official investigations are ongoing.
Technologies like ultrasonic control and nanobubbler systems were deployed, but their effectiveness is severely limited by the pool’s unique, extremely shallow design (only 18 inches deep).
The government failed to follow professional management standards, such as conducting a proper diagnostic assessment, establishing a nutrient budget, or implementing real-time monitoring.
Because the pool lacks adequate flushing and circulation—design choices made to maintain its function as a “mirror”—the algae problem is physically unavoidable and cannot be “solved” by cosmetic renovations.
The expert concludes that the situation is a failure of management rather than a mystery, and suggests that an adaptive management plan is the only professional way to handle the site’s chronic ecological issues.
No one wants an llm summary.
I do. One of the worst parts of today’s internet is how everything has to be a video when a lot of information can be more effectively fine with words. Having a transcript right here with no extra clicks makes the internet a more enjoyable place
Not true, but it certainly is polarizing, I’ll grant you that. I often use AI to summarize verbal information, such as a video. Last night there were at least 8 upvotes to my post, so those are 8 other people that found it helpful. Thus your judgment of “No one” is incorrect.
Get better soon
No mention of Epstein files.
Also “heatsink” is not used in the conventional sense of removing heat from a system, such as heatsinking a GPU to lower the temperature, but rather in the pool it is absorbing more heat. Even my 7 year old understands better word usage.
That is exactly what a heatsink is. You are using your personal experience with computers. Which has led to the wrong definition of a heatsink, not the other way around. The heatsink part (or thermal reservoir of a heat transfer system) of a GPU, a CPU, etc, is very good at absorbing heat. More than the chip it is attached to. This is because a heatsink is defined by their relative thermal capacity. It gets very hot from the chip, then a dissipator releases the heat to a fluid medium (air or water) that is, hopefully, an even better heatsink.
All heatsinks work the same way, they get hotter through various means of thermal transfer. Conductive, radiation or convection. Because they can take a lot of energy before getting hot. These properties are manipulated to change the temperature of things, but the intended (or resulting) heat exchange does not define the heatsink.
Specifically in this case, it is the water that is turning into a radiation heat reservoir by the effect the paint has on sunlight. It absorbs rather than disperse the light. But paint and concrete are a shit thermal reservoir in comparison to water, which is excellent. So, conductively, a ton of heat gets absorbed by the water, making it hotter and therefore a good breeding ground for algae.
