I just wanted to get a look at the refilling of the newly blue Reflecting Pool.

But I couldn't avoid seeing this video, shared by Trump:

I guess that's an effort to visualize what has become the stock joke: The pool will be filled with "liberal tears."

ADDED: Actual footage, showing how the color will work out:

I’m assuming that is being filled with her tears.

LOL

That is actual legend.

I am told salt water pools are lower maintenance, so win-win.

If that woman (am I presuming too much?) were getting royalties, she'd be rich now.

rehajm said...

There’s now an FBI 10 most wanted fraudsters list. Since fraud is the largest source of Democrat support that should fill that reflecting pool right fast. Not sure what will happen to all the other tears…back to the ocean? Is there a market for exports?

Quaestor said...

Salty enough for marine fish?

John henry said...

Took me a moment to figure out. I thought he was filling the pool with the blue water they use to flush airplane toilets with.

“Trump looked at a broken reflecting pool and treated it like a pool.

Not a symbol. Not a “public memory space”. Not a stakeholder process. Not a graduate seminar in aquatic democracy. A fucking pool.

So the Washington brain goes: we need consultants, historians, aquatic equity advisors, a 9 month environmental impact meditation and an interpretive plaque about water as contested space.

Trump brain goes: is the pool fucked up? Call the pool guys.

It really is this simple.”

If you insist on behaving like a spoiled brat in public and someone shots a video of you doing it where you have no reasonable expectation of privacy, then NO SOUP FOR YOU, copyright-wise. And so the Hillary Hulk will forever be the public domain image of political insanity.

That woman is one of the most famous unknown people in history. She's giving the leader in the genre, Jack the Ripper, a run for his money. I wonder how she feels about her fame today.

@bagoh20, the infamous lolcow in question was a woman named Jessica Star. She died by suicide in 2018, approximately 1 year after she made internet history.

The reflection looks great!

bagoh20 said...

I'm no fan of the Trump branding of everything, and someone he trusts should talk to him about it, but can you imagine how much good could be done, if they just let this lifelong successful builder, clean up the country, which has been neglected for decades. I'm often amazed and embarrassed by how wonderful some much lesser countries can make their cities with a fraction of our resources and pride. Long the envy of the world, our infrastructure is no loner exceptional and sometimes not even first world, despite often having a 100 year head start.

Quaestor said...

It's much like that other vicious brat Nicholas Scelfo. Even if he beats the rap, his future is forever scarred by the public domain video of him making threats to murder and entire family. Welcome to your bright future in fast food preparation, Nicky.

Quaestor said...

typo correction: "murder an entire family"

narciso said...

They want 'rage and ruin' (credence)

bagoh20 said...

That's too bad. If she had gotten help, she could have made the best of it and be laughing about it today. I really hate what the left is doing to people mentally. It's pure evil. It makes them angry, unhinged, unhappy, and dangerous to themselves and the rest of us. Politics never required that before.

Quaestor said...

"[Jessica Starr] died by suicide in 2018, approximately 1 year after she made internet history."

Blogger is such an inadequate platform. Please imagine a line of hysterically laughing smiley emojis here, about thirty of them.

However, I think this is a case of mistaken identity. Jessica Starr, the howling lunatic, shares her name with another Jessica Starr, a TV meteorologist (i.e., a weather girl) for a Fox station in Detroit who offed herself in December, 2018 over eye surgery left her partially blind.

The other Jessica Starr seems to alive, kicking, and regretting her entire existence to this very day.

rehajm said...

Remember all those people, experts pontificating about what a disaster the blue liner would be? They deserve to be outed and shamed…

Michael Fitzgerald said...

Link below has the moment captured in time and an interview with the androgynous scream queen. Absolutely hilarious.

rehajm said...

...the lawn looks amazing, too. Scarify…

Rabel said...

Pretty sure that's a different Jessica Starr.

bagoh20 said...

The Jessica Starr, TV meteorologist is a really depressing story of selfishness. She had everything, and over one setback she threw it all away and abandoned her family.

Hassayamper said...

Wow, that's looking fantastically good.

Boy, did the leftist clowns and crybabies step on their own dicks with this. Some of them on these very pages.

Let's not let them forget it.

rehajm said...

…start the shaming with NYT with their recent list of complaints that the color is spotty and inconsistent, they didn’t repair the seams and cracks, they were behind schedule and will miss their celebration deadline, Trump didn’t waste tome and money with government contract bureaucracy, Trump said he knew the supplier and didn’t know the supplier….what bilge…

America looking forward with serene reflection.

bagoh20 said...

Online discussions suggest the protester intentionally withdrew from the internet to avoid harassment, leading to her current status as unknown and untraceable in the public sphere.

President Trump isn't allowed to restore our fountains and monuments, or build stunning structures showcasing American craftsmanship, engineering, and architectural excellence. Apparently, government spending is only acceptable when it's funding drag queens, the Taliban, Somalian pirates, and the pockets of Ukrainian oligarchs.

Known Unknown said...

Looks pretty reflecty.

Hassayamper said...

Long the envy of the world, our infrastructure is no loner exceptional and sometimes not even first world, despite often having a 100 year head start.

That's deliberate. There is a strong current on the left holding that filth and squalor and decay are desirable, because they consider America filthy and dirty, and our public spaces should reflect that. Nowadays workmen in Portland or Seattle who clean graffiti off buildings can expect passers-by to abuse them for being "fascists", as that TikTok clip that went around a couple of weeks ago showed.

If it's fascism to enjoy clean, safe parks and monuments and public buildings, then I say Heil Trump and we could do with a lot more fascism.

I'm with jim5103. I thought it was Blue and everyone was appalled. Was it always supposed to be black?

Quayle said...

And DJT said nothing to let 'em moan and complain for nothing?

If it makes liberals sad, it must be a good thing! No exceptions!
Thats what helps make corruption, grift and protecting pedophilia central platforms of the modern GOP.
MAGA!

Quaestor said...

The pool water won't look blue. Because of the gray liner, it will reflect like a mirror, as was intended from the beginning.

Quaestor said...

Hail Trump.

boatbuilder said...

From Poolfits (a pool liner supplier):

Dark liners (navy, midnight blue, black) absorb more light and create a sophisticated, mirror-like effect. Water appears deeper, more dramatic, and can look almost black on overcast days. These liners are trending upward in 2026 for modern and contemporary designs.
A black pool liner creates a deep, dramatic mirror-like or dark reflective navy blue appearance in the water. Instead of a bright, tropical blue, the dark background absorbs light to produce a luxurious, pond-like effect that beautifully reflects the surrounding sky and landscaping.


My wife and I are having a pool installed (as soon as the county gets around to approving the permit, which may be a while). We are going with a nearly black color.

-- "FortheloveofIce", probably Rich or Chuck or another troll.

Well, yeah, pretty much. Corruption, grift, and protecting pedos is the core of the modern Democrat party. Oh, and marrying your sibling (Ilyan). I'm struggling to think of a single thing Democrats stand for that is good right now. "We must let the most violent criminals and rapists free to prey on Americans because OrangeManBad! Go Go China and Xi! All hail Iran's Muslim terrorism! Death to the Jews and Christians!" Let alone the "Somalis have a constitutional right to steal as much taxpayer money as possible... as long as they kick back a ton to democrats!" that is the chief economic strategy of today's Democrat party. And we haven't even discussed the love of murdering children, the "no depravity unturned" LGBT, the "chop off body parts of the kids who survive our Temples to Moloch" and more.

How DARE Trump fix things and make improvements.
The corrupt vile fecal matter left demand meth users, feces, and defunded police and all the decay and ruin that go with theri obsession with nazi-like power.

Hassayamper said...

It was always meant to be a very dark blue, as it obviously is.

A deeper layer of waterproofing was a lighter blue color earlier in the project, and it really set off the howler monkeys of the Left. But oh, what deranged fools they look like now.

They'll move on to some other manufactured outrage shortly, and the news media scum will ensure the reflecting pool flap goes down the Memory Hole and stays there.

Something similar will happen with the Trump Ballroom.

Hassayamper said...

If it makes liberals sad, it must be a good thing! No exceptions!

Yep, that's been pretty much the pattern since I was a boy. There were a few exceptions like My Lai, but otherwise, you could set your compass 180 degrees from whatever Ted Kennedy or Joe Biden was babbling about and know you were on the side of truth and light.
