I stopped by the new Reflecting Pool. It is simply glorious. There were a thousand people, everywhere, taking pictures and just enjoying its beauty. Thank you President Trump for restoring our city’s national treasure. pic.twitter.com/Ii7DlEItfd

Can we not all love the new pool?

That does look very nice.
It is very simple to say one kind word.
Even if they'd just emptied, cleaned, and refilled it for the anniversary, it would have been an improvement. This is considerably better and, we can hope, will mitigate the leaking issue too.
So far Lutnick has been impressive but for the love of God hold your phone level when you take a photo. Or at least correct it with the tools built into your phone.
Now if only those lazy birds would migrate rather than poop all along the edges and in the water...
As previously discussed, my life long Democrat wife melted down over Trumps use of blue rather than black paint for the Reflecting Pool. We were in DC at the time and flew back home the day they re-opened the pool. She never saw how wonderful it looks.
It looks nice to me but I assume every photo has been filtered to look nice.
It looks great. Hope it holds up as expected and the anti-algae system works. Time will tell.
The test of time over the summer months will tell us how sound the plan is. I guess the good news is that there's now an incentive to keep it looking great for at least all of 2026, with pride on the line. But I hope they've found a good long-term solution for its management.
Oh lookee Here:
A Federal Lawsuit to stop the UFC Fight was filed by the Public Integrity Project on behalf of two Virginia residents. The contend the Trump administration's authorization of the June 14 event was unlawful."
So once again one of our King/Queens in Black robes will decide what Trump can and cant do. Amazing he was able to refill the Lincoln Memorial pool without their approval. Cause y'know - Constitution.
Its does look a lot better. The NPR article says it took longer than expected, than quotes anonymous libtards saying "it looks the same" or "It looks grey rather than blue". And of course, "Questions still remain about the source of the funding". IOW, just another "Hate trump" article. Even about a pool.
"The Golden Age of America Begins Now"
US inflation jumped to 4.2% in May amid Middle East energy shock ~ FT
US has great inflation, the best inflation, people are saying it’s the hottest inflation in the world.
Americans are working more hours per week than they were this time a year ago and yet still taking home less money each week in real terms, thanks to inflation. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/realer.nr0.htm
The Iran War will prove to be the one self inflicted wound Trump can’t shake off.
Cool reflecting - meeting the President afterwards

Yes, Howard Lutnick, master photo retoucher took this one.
Objectively, it looks great. Metaphorically, I particularly like how they erected a life-size replica of President Trump's penis at the far end. You know, to remind Democrats what it takes to actually get things done.
Sure!

leftist cultists still bitch and moan
inflation lower now that under crook covid joe.
NPR(D) - lol. oh do f off.
leftist cultist prefer scum and putridity.
…I’d like a Trump EO that just says ‘suck it whiners’…
…but then some octogenarian Hawaiian judge would order not to suck it. Actually, that would improve it…
Hawaiian politicians and judges (D) are the dumbest people on planet earth
the pool looks very regal in that light. Well done.
Democratic religious cultists can all suck it.
It has to do with TRUMP! Tricksy Trump! And we HATES him. We HATES him, Precious. We hates him FOREVER!
No one enjoys a reflecting pool more than I, however I was not consulted and I think that's worth noting.
Trump is held to a higher standard, almost an impossible one, so when he is widely praised, you know it was damned good.

As a class, you're right, but Tulsi Gabbard is from there and she's been surprisingly good. I still don't trust her on my #1 issue, which is protecting our firearms, so I couldn't vote for her as President. But she is a patriot who loves this country and wants to make it safe and prosperous, and that is more than can be said about most Democrats these days.
A shimmering reflection of our shining capital on the hill.
The people who have relentlessly and irrationally skewered the utterly nonpartisan effort to restore this modest thing need to think about the way their kneejerk oppositionism feeds a kneejerk supportism. Not a good thing, if we actually want to talk like grownups. It seems that quite a few people don't want that.
Making just a little part of America Great Again.
Looks good. Deserves a new name, though. How about “The Donald J. Trump Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool“?
What kind of vandalism is anticipated. No doubt plans are being made
Ampersand:
Yes!

I love how that massive phallic symbol reflection shows that we are so powerful, we can fuck you coming and going
The pool looks beautiful!
“ People are sick of paying the blood price of bourgeois virtue. That is increasingly how it feels to working-class communities – that they are expected to absorb the risk of letting in tens of thousands of unvetted men, while their betters absorb the glow of righteousness that comes with crying ‘Refugees welcome’. The activist class in their leafy suburbs are shielded from the social consequences of their moral theatre. It is the lower orders who suffer the fallout. Working-class girls who suddenly have 800 men from fuck knows where in the hotel at the end of their road.”
The Democrats promoted, enabled and allowed this to happen. They should be held to account in the strongest, most effective way possible.
Keep these corksoakers out of power AND on the run!!!
"we are so powerful, we can fuck you coming and going"
Maybe you would prefer the alternative?

If there's tilt in photo is it to right or left
"Can we not all love the new pool?"
Not until you know if/how Trump was involved, if you're a progressive.
But, but…..Trump!
I lived in DC when they filmed Forrest Gump. Everyone knew the scene of Jenny wading in the reflecting pool was CGI since no one in their right mind would step in there with all the muck and goose shit. There was no way a Hollywood director would risk his star getting sick.
I saw the Crying Indian from the way back machine, smiling.
