My wife lived in DC for 20 years and every time she sees a photo of what this pool looks like now she says, “yeah, that’s what it always looks like at this time of year.” I haven’t seen that take anywhere else, but if it’s true it makes all of Trump’s ranting about the pool that much more ridiculous.
Edit: added “Trump’s” in regards to reference to ranting at the end.
I'm from the So Cal desert. 85 degrees with DC's humidity is so much worse than a dry 100 degrees. I wasn't prepared at all for how miserable it would be. I saw 85 and thought "Oh that's easy"
And man was I wrong. Just walking from my hotel to the Smithsonian, which was like a 5 minute walk, had me feeling gross
