DO NOT show Donald Trump these pictures of the Reflecting Pool.

🟢 Donald Trump posted that the ā€œcriminally made algae is goneā€ from the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. There’s just one problem: the algae is still there. It’s green. It’s back. And there are now National Guard troops standing around a pool of pond scum. Welcome to America 250. I’m Jay Black: comedian, recovering high school English teacher, and the guy who makes two videos a day trying to make sense of the dumbest timeline. This one’s about a man who spent $14.7 million turning a historic landmark into a duck pond, then blamed ā€œRadical Left Vandalsā€ when it turned green, then deployed the United States military to guard it (and it turned green AGAIN!) Here’s what actually happened: āœ… Trump renovated the Reflecting Pool and had it painted ā€œAmerican flag blueā€ for the July 4th 250th anniversary āœ… Within days it bloomed bright green with algae — which experts say is exactly what you’d expect from shallow, stagnant, sun-baked water (it’s been doing this since 1922) āœ… Trump blamed ā€œCriminal, Radical Left Vandalsā€ who ā€œcriminally madeā€ the algae āœ… His administration declared the algae ā€œdeadā€ and ā€œgoneā€ āœ… It is not gone. It is extremely still there. āœ… Despite the fact that the National Guard is now patrolling the pool in groups of three and four, with fencing, light towers, and surveillance cameras for days! It was Trump. It’s ALWAYS Trump. šŸ‘‡ If you know someone who believed the ā€œvandals did itā€ story for even a second, send them this one. šŸ”” Subscribe for two videos a day on the news that’s too stupid to be real: https://www.youtube.com/@hellojayblack 🌐 Everything else: https://jayblack.tv šŸ“² @hellojayblack everywhere (except X, where I’m @jayblackisfunny) SOURCES: • NPR — ā€œAlgae turns reflecting pool green after repaintingā€: https://www.npr.org/2026/06/19/nx-s1-5863044/dc-reflecting-pool-algae-green-trump • Reuters/US News — ā€œReflecting Pool now under surveillance as Trump blames vandalsā€: https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2026-06-25/re
