🚨 President Trump just dropped this gem!

Trump saved America $298 MILLION on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool:

The historic pool, where MLK gave his “I Have a Dream” speech, was a leaking, filthy disaster.

Government bureaucrats wanted $300 MILLION and 3+ years to rip it up.

Trump said hell no.

Called in real pool experts, scrubbed the original granite, sealed it, and topped it with American Flag Blue industrial coating.

✅ $1.5–2 MILLION
âś… Done in 2 weeks
✅ Will last 40–50 years and look better than 1922

This is how you run government like a business.

Promises kept! Taxpayer dollars saved!

The creeps that wanted 300m to do it should be fired and blacklisted from public jobs forever

15000% mark-up sounds about right for our late-empire level of government grift.

My guess is that he used Kemper Systems Kemperol 2K.
Good for us that Trump knows about construction and knows the right questions and the right people to do the job.

He did exactly what I would have done. It will last for 50 years or more. Then, you just recoat it for another term. Good stuff.

I thought Grogan was a former QB for the Patriots.

The large “MAGA” emblem painted on the bottom of the pool may be overdone.

Love this man! In his element repairing DC.

I grew up near enough to got there often, and by the time Obama got in the WH, the gleaming white monuments had become filthy. The Jefferson Memorial’s white dome—a landmark visible not just on DC’s streets but also from the major highways to everyone who drives past DC—was dulled and streaked with moldy grime. The homeless encampments that make a leftie hater’s heart beat faster were a disgrace.

Finally, a Master Developer came to DC. What a difference his point of view and experience make. Godspeed to him! Cannot wait to see the Ballroom and the Arch!

Undoubtedly, they were looking for a way to acquire lifetime jobs supervising the work. Their 3 year proposed timelines were 50 years of work in the real government world.

I hate to think what left-wing protesters will do to that reflecting pool.

Wow, incredible, massively thrifty, fast and efficient.

This is why we need more people like Trump in office. People who are not career politicians who know how to get things done right, fast and for far less than the pork laden projections of lifelong bureaucrats.
