«American Blue» and the Washington Failure: Trump Spent $14 Million on the Reflecting Pool, Turning it into a Swamp

🇺🇸 <strong>Failure in Washington: Trump Spent $14 Million on the Reflecting Pool, Turning it into a Swamp</strong> The Reflecting Pool near the Lincoln Memorial has been drained again. The reconstruction initiated by Trump turned into a disaster: the «blue» bottom overheated, the water bloomed, and chemicals burned the coating. 🔍 <strong>Key Facts:</strong> • The $14.6 million project failed due to the «frying pan effect» and material defects. • Trump blamed «vandals» for the damage, but the FBI confirmed construction defects. • Democratic senators have launched an investigation into the misappropriation of funds. 🗣 <strong>The Irony of the Moment:</strong> While Trump dreams of seizing the Strait of Hormuz, his «Hormuz» in Washington is a dried-up puddle where workers are scrubbing the bottom with brushes. #Trump #Washington #ReflectingPool #USA #Politics #Scandal

Politics 08/15/2026, 13:12
🇺🇸🇮🇱 **Trump refuses to support Netanyahu 75 days before Israeli elections** US President Donald Trump is withholding approval of Benjamin Netanyahu's candidacy. The reasons are the Prime Minister's failing ratings and his refusal to support the peace plan for Gaza. 📉 **Key facts:** • Netanyahu risks losing his parliamentary majority (forecast: 49–53 seats instead of 61). • The favorite of the race is Gadi Eisenkot (51% chance). • Netanyahu's advisors lied to Trump about victory in the Oval Office, undermining trust. • Trump stated: "Bibi is his own worst enemy." 🔥 **Conflict:** Israel rejected the 15-point peace plan for Gaza. Washington responded: "Gaza is our show, not his." #Israel #Trump #Elections2026 #Netanyahu
