President Donald Trump's restoration of the Great Reflecting Pool on the Washington Mall and the many fountains throughout the District of Columbia is really a metaphor for what is happening all over the country.
Trump is succeeding at Making America Great Again.
The president posted via Truth Social on Friday, "The Great Reflecting Pool, that stretches between The Lincoln Memorial and The Washington Monument, just opened to 'rave reviews' but, maliciously or not, some say, like The Washington Post, it was a 'paint job.' This was not a paint job. This was highly sophisticated material, industrial strength, that could last for 100 years, applied by very talented people."
The water is ON, the Reflecting Pool is reflecting, and D.C. is looking better than ever.
We are so back. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP. 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/J3xE33XiA5

"The material is thick, strong, flexible, and has a natural, beautiful color, the dark blue of the American Flag!" he added.
The reflection is finally coming back.
After weeks of construction, water is returning to the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall as part of President Trump's push to restore Washington, D.C.'s iconic landmarks.

Sickening that the Trump haters, the Fake News Media, demonicRATS and Transtifa refuse to allow us to enjoy our 250th birthday. SCROO ‘EM! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!
The work to make America great and the sabotage of the democrat party to sabotage and destroy her.
Based on the different atmospheric conditions, that is not a fair comparison.
Just how much fun would that be?
Agreed. If the sky is grey like the first pic but the pool still blue, it would have been better comparison.
“...that is not a fair comparison.”
Just giving the rats a taste of their own deceptive medicine.
So much better...The other beauty is the fountain that cascades down steps...amazing...
I noticed it, too. Gray skies vs Blue skies...
It’s great that they were able to restore the Washington Monument after that flying saucer took it down in the 50’s.
That’s an asinine picture. Reminds me of the fags in the Particle for Men ads...a dark shadowy picture of someone frowning then a super bright one of someone smiling.
No doubt the reflecting pool looks better but a better comparison photo would show that.
