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 algae has already started.

About this item

• Aquashade is the only EPA-registered liquid dye proven to reduce underwater weed and algae growth by blocking sunlight and disrupting photosynthesis

• Unlike traditional herbicides, Aquashade works by shading the water, making it hard for submerged weeds and algae to overrun. Best in proactive aquatic plant management

• Non-toxic and safe for fish, pets, livestock, and wildlife. Perfect for swimming ponds, ornamental water features, and irrigation systems

• Made in the USA

• 1 gallon treats 1 surface acre (4–6 ft deep) Just pour into the pond and let it disperse. It is a beautiful blue color and a functional weed inhibitor in one easy application.

How about if we change the name to Quality Learing Reflecting Pool.... you have no problem with that...

"actual previous estimates from agencies like the National Park Service hovered "above $100 million" and would take years"

Huh.....

Trump's $14M Reflecting Pool Project Couldn't Stop Algae From Blooming In The DC Heat

President Donald Trump’s $14 million Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation couldn’t stop algae from blooming in the D.C. heat and turning the water a murky shade of green once again.

The unsightly hue plagued the pool just in time for an estimated 125,000 people to descend on Washington for Trump’s “Freedom 250” UFC fights on the White House lawn for his birthday on Sunday — despite work crews spreading chlorine pellets to try to deter algae growth. The Washington Post reported that the bloom “expanded between Wednesday and Thursday amid wet and warm weather.”

Katie Martin, a spokeswoman for the Interior Department, said in a statement, “What you are seeing is residual algae from the supply lines which have been sitting dormant for eight weeks while construction has been taking place. It’s part of the normal startup process. “We are removing the algae, and the nanobubblers will maintain the pool and keep it algae free. President Donald J. Trump is an expert builder who has fixed the Reflecting Pool for good unlike the failed and extremely costly attempt by Obama and Biden.”

Whether the pool remains algae-free remains to be seen, however.

It’s gonna cost 30 million to sand blast the paint of the white marble when it starts peeling in a few months.

Dark paint absorbs heat and heat attracts algae.

Did you cry this hard when Obama tried to clean it up?

If the laughing hyena got elected and she did this exact same thing you’d be mute or praising her.

Your a political hack and that’s where your talent ends

It takes time for chlorine and algeacide to dispurse through the water. 7 million gallons almost.

But what do you know, you ain't got a pool.

Oh I have a pool.

The reflecting pool is NOT a swimming pool, with large amounts of chlorine, continual pH adjustments, and active circulation with filtration. On the other hand, too much water agitation defeats the conditions for optimal reflection.

Who likes the color Green?

MC and the like just mad as fuck. They all hate beauty!

It’s greener today. Trumps a fuckin LOOZER
