  This is the Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. You may have seen it in movies like Forrest Gump.
  Trump decided to paint it blue like a swimming pool and the job looks to be going bad.
  Trump personally chose the color, contractors without asking anyone really or going through the proper channels like getting approval from congress and input from the public.
  In the years to come, the blue pool will mark the time during which Trump was the president of the USA. Its visitors will look down upon their reflection and see blue, as another reminder they were the ones who elected him.

      Maybe a little too on the nose:

      3 The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.

      4 The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood

      Revelation 16:3

        I have to wonder if there’s a way to sneak red dye into the paint that will activate when they fill it up with water again.

        That actually fits the current situation in the United States.

        Nobody but the Father knows when these things will happen, all we know is that they will. But it also says there will be signs, and all these look like signs to me (at the expense of sounding like a religious nut).

    I’m willing to bet the water was sold to an AI datacenter and won’t be refilled, thus why its being painted blue, so it can fake being full of water

    Why not fill it back up with water?

    The pool guy gets $3 mill, and kicks back the rest. Standard money laundering scheme.

  That’s a memorial (I don’t remember for what or whom) and they decided to paint it blue as if it was a swimming pool
