President Trump Notes Opposition Effort to Destroy DC Reflection Pool
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 6/19/2026 | Sundance

Posted on 06/20/2026 12:17:46 PM PDT by sopo

Team Algae and Filth has been busy at work, supported by CNN, ABC and various leftist media, in an attempt to grow algae back in the DC reflection pool, and cut out the newly installed lining. A few arrests have been made by DC park police.

Yes, these folks are that unstable. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

President Trump responds to the effort via Truth Social:

“We’ve cleaned, renovated, and beautified over 45 Monuments and Memorials, 28 Statues, and 22 Fountains in Washington, D.C. Things are really looking good in our Nation’s Capital, and add to that the fact that when I became President, Crime was rampant, and now, Washington, D.C., is one of the Safest Cities anywhere in the United States. However, we’ve had some real problems with Vandalism at the beautiful Reflecting Pool, which sits between The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial.

Just like three days ago, they destroyed the grass outside of the Pool, they’ve also done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed. No different than the chemicals that were used on the National Mall, they used something similar in the Reflecting Pool to try to destroy and demean our beautiful work. Lightweight ABC Reporter, Jonathan Karl, was seen sticking his hand into the Pool, and trying to rip the rubber off of the surface. The algae is 75% gone, and the condition will soon be completely remedied, and the area that was vandalized, fortunately, is just a small area of damage, and will be fixed early next week. It’s a shame that the Radical Left Lunatics, most likely Dumocats, who have spent their lives trying to ruin our Country, are free to do so. Law Enforcement is actively investigating this situation and will hopefully have it resolved soon. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

In case you missed it, the reference to the "grass outside the pool," somebody sprayed Round Up or somesuch on the mall to form huge 8647 in the grass. Classy ABC News, Jonathan Karl, Snuffleupagus was probably going to show up to do the same.

Apply the same ROE at the Reflecting Pool as for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Might take a couple of times, but the message will sink in.

And here we have all these international fans for the World Cup doing nothing but praising the U.S. and cleaning up (Scots) after themselves:

"International fans have frequently highlighted the warmth and generosity of American hospitality as a defining feature of their trip. Reports indicate that locals in small towns, often unaware of the specific details of the World Cup, have gone out of their way to assist visitors."

I'd like to keep those tourists and send the "Algae Squad" somewhere they'd be more comfortable - like Cuba or the Congo.

I heard the 8647 handwriting crime was solved. It was AOC’s writing and Bernie sanders urine.

I don’t think the coating is going to last 50 years if we’ve already seen people pull it up with their hands.

AI Overview

In folklore and pop culture, vampires are the most famous entities that do not see their reflections. In reality, individuals living with certain types of dementia or cognitive impairments may lose the ability to recognize their own reflections, sometimes believing the person in the mirror is a stranger.

The concept of beings lacking a reflection stems from several specific origins and contexts:

1. Vampires (Folklore & Mythology)

The “Soulless” Theory: Historically, mirrors were believed to be windows to the soul. Because vampires are undead and considered soulless, they theoretically produced no reflection.

Silver-Backed Mirrors: Another popular theory points to the fact that ancient mirrors were made with a silver backing. Silver is frequently associated with purity and is often depicted as deadly or harmful to vampires.

Ghostly Origins: Author Bram Stoker borrowed the concept from older ghost stories, where spirits couldn’t be reflected because they no longer belonged to the living world.

2. Medical & Cognitive Conditions

Mirror Agnosia: People living with advanced dementia or Alzheimer’s disease can experience mirror agnosia. This condition causes them to lose the mental ability to recognize themselves, which can result in them thinking their reflection is an intruder or a stranger.

Prosopagnosia (Face Blindness): Some individuals with face blindness may see a reflection but struggle to recognize the face as their own, though this does not typically result in a complete failure to perceive a visual reflection.

3. Animals & Self-Awareness

Animals and The Mirror Test: In biology, animals that do not possess self-awareness usually do not recognize their reflection. While great apes, dolphins, and elephants usually pass the “mirror test,” animals like dogs and cats do not recognize their reflections. They generally react to the reflection as if it were another animal or simply ignore it altogether.

That’s because they’re mentally ill.
