Trump couldn't wait another minute to blame President Obama after the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool water turned green, despite the $14 million renovation. (By now, we know everything is either Obama's or Biden's fault.)  
Somehow, the green algae seems a fitting, putrid reflection of this administration.

Already filled with green algae. As rancid as his Iran "peace deal," emerging after an illegal, costly, murderous, destructive war, and everything associated with him.
