DC reflecting pool before-and-after photos show Trump's 'beautiful' renovation

1. Count me in as one of those "undewhelmed" by how the 14 million dollars

was spent! I agree it looks black, but then the "before pic" looks green. Could be just the lighting of the day, or color rendition on my system... but it doesn't look blue to me! I've seen the reflecting pool personally, and loved the way it was. This was at least a couple of decades ago, so time may have changed it, to be sure. But sitting at one end and looking out, one couldn't hope to do anything but reflect on our history, the people involved, and what was happening in the nation at that time. That's what it was meant to achieve; it was not meant to be a vanity pre-memorial to a narcissistic man. ETTD. This included, I'm afraid. Instead of achieving the goal of personal and national reflection, all talk and thought will be based around what he did, why he did it, and the horrible mess of our country in this current day. 14 million dollars, down the drain, IMO.
