I doubt it was this, but I hope Obama left one minor prank on his way out, like a whoopie cushion, or an upside down desk drawer.

Obama leaves a letter on the desk for Trump's first day. It reads:

"Mr. President,

On this, your first day in office, congratulations again on your victory. Although it's clear to us both by now that we may never see eye-to-eye on many important issues, I want to express my hope for your success in this new position. Very few people will ever understand the challenges endured while carrying the weight of a nation, if not the entire free world, on one's shoulders like we do. Along those lines, I humbly offer you my full support, putting aside whatever differences we might have, in the interest of serving our shared and highest value, the well-being and advancement of this great country. Should you ever want it, I am prepared and willing to give whatever assistance possible with utmost diligence and discretion.

We're all counting on you. Good luck!

Sincerely,

Barack Obama

P. S. I left a little something in the upper right-hand drawer just to show there's no hard feelings."

After reading it, Trump opens the drawer and hundreds of marbles spill out along with a note card.

I think this why he's so mad at Obama.

I never stopped saying it lol

He is struggling to form new memories so he's stuck on Obama

Maybe we can fill the reflecting pool with Brawndo.

It also happened in 2012 when the 2 year renovation was completed by Obama and it was pretty bad. I did check to make sure that was true but anyways the algae isn't that abnormal of an occurrence after work was done to it.

What is abnormal is how much focus has been placed on some algae and not the blatantly obvious grift of the taxpayer through the no bid contract that ballooned in cost. Yeah, fuck the algae and it does stem from some mismanagement - that will get cleaned up in the next week or so - but the real story is the disgusting level of corruption.

I just can't get over how wantonly, cartoonishly, absurd "is this even real life" levels of corruption the Trump administration has right now. I mean ... Fuck ... Carter gave up his peanut farm and now we're here?

What is happening to this nation in its 250th year is so ... Only older cringe AF millennials should see this so avert your eyes if you aren't one... >!... So so sooooooo retarded.!<

Yeah but that no good Barrack "HUSSEIN" Obaam-a drove over to my pond and poured algae into it! I seent it!

His dementia is so bad he thinks it's still 2018.

but the magats will eat it up. #BlameObama

Not only that, but he fucked it up. He spent attention on it and made it worse than it was before. He's a talented fuckup

I eat the Onion every damn time now because it's literally the same headlines as the actual news.

Oh, absolutely. This is a classic real estate development kickback scheme, which is Trump's Bread & Butter. Why do you think he went on such a tear, renovating the pool, the ballroom, the Kennedy Center, the Arch, etc.? It allows him to hand pick his contractor, so he can choose a guy whom he knows will play ball.

That's literally what narcissism is. The circuitry in your brain that is responsible for feeling shame and guilt and finding fault within yourself just doesn't exist in an affected brain. The idea that something negative that happened could be his fault is like you trying to understand how 2+2 could possibly equal 5. It doesn't even cross your mind as a thing that's worth considering as a possibility.

Obama did install ozone generators in 2012.
More info on the renovation.

Prior to the 2010-2012 renovations, it was filled with municipal water, and leaked 500,000 gallons a week, it lacked significant plumbing systems, and had to be drained twice a year and cleaned. It used about 30 million gallons of treated drinking water a year. It also lacked key accessibility features, like paved paths around the pool.
The renovations cost upwards of $34 million. They got the pool off of municipal water and connected it to the tidal basin. They made the pool shallower to use less water, and painted the bottom of the pool a darker color to enhance its ability to reflect the monument.
They didn’t manage to fix all the leaks but who cares when the water comes from the tidal basin that it leaks back into?

I think Trump is doing this to try to step on Obama’s accomplishments while giving hand outs (no bid contracts) to cronies.

It did not need to be done. He’s just an asshole.

They tore it all out.
