The Reflecting Pool's new murky, green color is leaving onlookers disgusted and angry after a costly renovation.
"The Reflecting Pool is VERY green and VERY disgusting," posted Brianne Chapman, who runs the left-wing political X account Anarc-y princess. "Even on the worst days, I never saw it look this bad before."
Algae has left the Reflecting Pool tinged green, and workers are struggling to keep it clean despite a multi-million dollar renovation, according to recent reports. People are starting to notice as Trump prepares to celebrate his birthday and America's 250th anniversary.
"What a disaster," agreed MeidasTouch, a political news site, on X.
"Good to see the Reflecting Pool back to its normal color," joked Shane Harris, a staff writer for The Atlantic.
"Reflecting Pool today is looking...a little green," commented attorney and Democratic influencer Matt Rein.
Ron Filipkowski, the editor-in-chief of MeidasTouch, wrote, "Hard to believe this is from a guy who inherited $413 million from his father only to declare bankruptcy 6 times before convincing an NBC producer to bail him out by creating a fictional show that he was a successful businessman."
