A company that worked on previous renovations at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool turned down a request to supply its products for the makeover demanded by Donald Trump because it deemed the project "unfeasible."

New Jersey-based Sika USA, which provided concrete construction and sealing products for the 2012 renovations commissioned by the Obama administration, was approached in March by the Trump administration about its plans to resurface the pool and repaint it "American Flag Blue."

The company declined the offer because it believed completing the project by July 4 was not possible. It also warned that painting the pool's bottom blue would create additional problems, two Sika employees told CNN.

Instead, the contract went to Rhino Linings, a company primarily known for truck bed liners. Since then, Trump's pool renovation project has been plagued by green algae and blue paint chips breaking off the bottom and floating to the surface.

At least it is more accurate than any story aired in the history of Fox News.

You can say that again.
Jesse Waters is a tool who caters to the low IQ crowd.

"The Department of Interior gave us a look at individuals suspected of vandalizing the reflecting pool. Now we haven't been able to verify the video, but take a look."

I wonder if this would work:

Chevron Industrial Membrane" most commonly refers to C.I.M. Industries (formerly associated with Chevron's early urethane technology), which is a Chase Corporation brand. They manufacture high-performance, cold, liquid-applied polyurethane waterproofing membranes and protective coatings used for industrial containment, wastewater, and potable water.

This is the one true recipe for a Reflecting Pool: 2oz rum, 4oz pineapple juice, 1oz blue curacao, one Blue Razzberry Fruit Roll-Up

Ok, I admit it, every post I have ever made is wrong.


It ain't cool to edit other people's posts like you did to Dwight Way.

Investigative reporting reveals that the Trump administration ordered a contractor to turn off and remove "nanobubbler" algae-control devices from the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. These devices were temporarily removed for 36 hours on June 12, 2026, so the water would appear clearer for a promotional and UFC event on the National Mall celebrating Donald Trump's 80th birthday. When the systems were turned off, a massive algae bloom quickly grew and turned the water green.

Bonkers claims, really no damage tied to vandals. This was another DJT created fail.
