Trump violates government bid laws……

Trump's Reflecting Pool Scheme Doesn't Hold Water

The president handed a $6.9 million no-bid contract to his own “pool guy” to turn it blue.

President Donald Trump reportedly skirted the rules to spend massive amounts of money on something Americans never dreamed they needed: A Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool painted blue.

Trump ordered the makeover of the century-old pool on the National Mall, which has been the focal point of such historic gatherings as Vietnam War protests and Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

Trump somehow determined that overhauling the pool was suddenly “urgent.” That leaky determination allowed him to simply hand a hefty $6.9 million no-bid contract to the company he said worked on the pool at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.

“I have a guy who’s unbelievable at doing swimming pools,” the president told the press in late April. He initially claimed the project would cost $2 million.

The previous estimate was $301 million and it was going to take 3 to 3 1/2 years

It’s gonna look like that in August. It’s not treated like a swimming pool.

Why didn’t Trump fix that 8 years ago?

It only reflects clearly if the wind is not blowing and there's no ripples or waves on the water surface...........

"Why didn't he fix this before?"

"It won't look like that in August."

"The paint is gonna peal."

"Who is going to clean it?"

Talk about a bunch of whiny micromanaging imbeciles.

Terrible. It’s just so terrible. Next they’ll complain that it’s not the right shade of blue. Or the crackheads have no safe spaces to do their drugs.
