    So the owner of the business is a donor of Trump's, a neighbor of Mar-a-lago, has been found with bribing officials in the past, and OH BY THE WAY the name of the company is GREEN WATER services.... are we surprised the pool is now green with algae?

    Apparently today they are now draining the pool... again.

      Fact checked that’s actually him.

        Says Grok:

        Cafaro is a longtime Trump donor (over $300K to Trump-linked committees), Mar-a-Lago neighbor, and has two felony convictions from pleading guilty to conspiring to bribe a congressman and campaign finance violations.

        Because of course he has felony convictions.

            It's unbelievable. He looks more like a John Candy character than a real person.

            I was only joking

              I was thinking he looked more like one of Joe Pesci’s mob hits.

                The pool has been a boondoggle for decades. The Obama administration spent tens of millions of dollars trying to fix the problem...and they failed.

                Today, it's a failure.

                Ask yourself why it's a headline issues a decade and a half later.

                I love you long time.

                  Because the no bid contract to his felon buddy? At any rate I’m pretty confident that if Obama had given the contract to a felon buddy on a no bid basis we would have heard about it.

                      As they drain the pool a second time, this time with gross green algae.... To be fair, Trump did say he was going to drain the swamp.

                            If the reflecting pool had a ballroom none of this would have happened.

                              Sorry to repeat the joke, but looking at that above picture... the fact that Trump ran on draining the swamp is so literally perfect now.

                                In fairness he is draining it again.
