The algae multiplied. Who could have predicted they would do that? It was an entirely novel strategy.

The other bodies of water in this picture are what interest me. Both the Pond and the Tidal Basin look bluer, showing what it would have looked like. Now it's the color of grift.

Next week these idiots will be saying "It's supposed to be green" so that dont have to admit they voted for a fool.

I’d rather vote for the algae too

Algae produce a shitload of oxygen, so it's super eco-friendly

Isn't it a bit late for St. Patrick's Day?

It's green because Iran's flag has green and Iran's a winner.

I don't understand why they don't paint it yellow? The green algae and the yellow paint will make it look blue.

Can’t wait for the Wikipedia page.

Chlorophyll? More like Bore-o-phyll!

Are those green patches of grass to the north the patches that had "8647"?

looks like a mini-putt, with a giant hole on the end that he'd still miss by a mile.

"It's American Flag Green, exactly what I wanted. You can't find that color in nature. It's beautiful."

Thanks, Obama.

alge is always greener on the other side

So painting a pool a dark color which will increase the water temperature encouraged algae to grow? You'd have to be some kinda scientist or psychic to know that would happen.

That's what's happens when the swamp promises to drain the swamp. MORE SWAMP MOFOS!

The grass is always greener on the othe- wai what..?

That must be this "American Blue" they're all talking about

Gotta love the 2 other comparably sized pools in this image that don't have the alge.

Yet another symbol of the state of the U.S. The MAGA folks are pretty good at that. Take this ridiculous military parade, the absurd cage fight in front of the White House, that goddamn ballroom—and the list goes on and on....

It’s truly unbelievable that, with all this stupid nonsense, they don’t realize how ridiculous and dim-witted they are. But hey, what else can you expect from this clown show....

In a way, it’s almost a good thing for the world, because it really makes it crystal clear just how uncivilized these wretched fascists are.

I thought adding chlorine to a pool wouldn't be that difficult...

Can someone confirm if the pool was being fine before the "renovation"?

Time to pay the algae reparations buddy.

Shit is as green as my dick after a night of watching my man Randy Savage with the missus, and the obvious aftermath of such things.

So he painted the bottom a different colour? I'm unclear about how exactly that was supposed to help.

I may turn this into a t-shirt

hope donald get killed by a mosquito
