YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP: Literal “Pro-Algae” Protesters Storm Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to Oppose Trump Admin Cleanup
In the latest chapter of unhinged Trump Derangement Syndrome, a group of far-left activists has turned the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool into a bizarre battlefield, this time protesting the removal of algae from President Trump’s freshly renovated national landmark.
Independent journalist Emily Miller captured the circus on the ground and even interviewed the self-described “Team Algae” protesters who reportedly return every day to fight the cleanup.
“We have reached peak circus here,” Miller said as National Park Service crews vacuumed out the green slime using advanced nanobubble technology.

As The Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, this algae drama follows left-wing vandals slashing the new blue sealant on the pool floor and scrawling “86 47” threats, widely understood as a call to eliminate the 47th President.
🚨 JUST IN — EXCLUSIVE: United States Park Police are investigating an “86 47” inscription on the sealant of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool
We discovered writing just now while walking the edge of the pool.
This BS needs to end.

One man was allegedly arrested after jumping into the water and grabbing hoses from female Park Service workers who were clearing the algae. Similar anti-Trump vandalism has plagued the site for weeks.
While normal Americans cheer the restoration of American icons and the draining of the actual swamp (both figuratively and literally), these protesters treat algae removal like a civil rights crusade. The same crowd that sued to block the blue coating, vandalized the site with “86 47” graffiti, and now protests basic maintenance.
The National Park Service is doing its job. President Trump is delivering on his promise to make Washington beautiful again. The radical left is protesting algae.
Peak circus. Peak TDS. Peak insanity.
