Donald Trump positioned himself as a swimming pool expert as he touted the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovations he ordered this year, having put in “more than 100” over his career.

But after spending $14 million in taxpayer funds, the Reflecting Pool now looks arguably worse than it did before.

Aside from the bright green hue of the water — the product of what is reportedly one of the largest algae blooms in recent years — the “industrial-grade swimming pool topping” that Trump chose is already peeling off in sheets.

    An allegory for this entire administration.

    A costly grift that paid someone a lot of money who is not an expert to do a shitty job, try to fix it the wrong way multiple times, while the whole thing falls apart and trump talks about how great a job was done.

    Apply that to everything he does except manipulate stocks.
