    Well, I mean, he did just pay a company millions of taxpayer dollars to line the entire pool with blue, which is now disintegrating and floating around the pool, so that wouldn’t be far off.

      This is unreal. People across the world have pools and ponds and don’t have an algae issue. Trump has spent millions, of other people’s money, and it’s shagged in, what, days?

        I won’t say the reflective pool is an easy task, the water is not treated at all, and it has been plagued with things like leaks and snail infestations for its entire history, but the fact that Trump’s admin with all the presidential authority and assets is the first to ever fail to handle it to this extent is certainly telling.

        This is why government procurement is (supposed to be) a whole thing. Preventing this sort of shit is what that “red tape” is for.
