Since Trump is putting his name on everything in Washington, I hereby christen this algal disaster at the Reflecting Pool "Trump's Swamp."
Though we the taxpayers paid for it.

@petergleick When he ran for president in 2016 he said he would "drain the swamp."

Not only is the federal government swampier than ever, he's created a real swamp in what used to be a reflecting pool.

P.S.: I am a taxpayer, but I refuse to have my name associated with this mosquito-ridden malarial swamp.

@Karen5Lund @petergleick apparently people thought he was referring to the federal government as the swamp, rather than the destination into which the swamp would be drained
