This is getting incredibly pathetic. Trump now says he may have to drain the Reflecting Pool after his botched “renovations” quickly left it infested with algae. Instead of taking responsibility, he’s blaming vandalism—not his own shoddy work or the science experts warned about from the start.Let’s go over this, slowly.
Perhaps not coincidentally, the damage started to appear after the peroxide was dumped in. Causation, or correlation? Probably the latter, but then, we still don’t know what went wrong, do we? At least, what went wrong is obvious, but no cause has been publicized. Maybe it was enough peroxide to do the damage; maybe the damage was done by a botched installation. No way to tell, yet.Y’all, not to be a huge nerd but for the reflecting pool you would need a minimum of about 8,000 liters of 12% hydrogen peroxide to reach the 50 parts per million concentration to kill algae…

Is this what happens when you have 0 scientists in your administration? https://t.co/HF3VLkWbOW
It’s a bit unfair, but there is clear evidence the contractor had no experience, and didn’t know what they were doing (and the Parks Department has said the “nanobubbler technology that is supposed to keep algae out of the pool still has not been installed). Occam’s Razor says Antifa and Radical Left Democrats weren’t trying to embarrass Trump. He did that all by himself.i think if you dress like this, you deserve to do a little corruption https://t.co/1weLCtukPX
