It would be hilarious if it wasn’t wasting 14.2 million dollars on a no bid contract that we all knew was going to fail since it was, just like everything Trump, surface level.

You’d think for 14 million they could at least have a couple of those little floating pool filters.
But, in reality, a massive body of water like that is just gonna have natural things happen to it. There isn’t really a way around it unless they want to poison the local environment with chemicals.
Yeah, algae grows in a still, dark pond in the summer heat.
Basically, Trump did a seventh grade science fair experiment with a $14 million budget.
Besides the concrete cracks, the Reflecting Pool needed new pipes to the filtration and distribution building (the wrong ones were installed and ground settling cracked them, they’re leeching water into the soil). They also needed to waterproof the expansion joints which, although temporary sealed by the liner they installed, will eventually leak again when the liner rips due to further settlement.
Once again, Trump puts lipstick on a pig and kicks the problem down the road so he can look good until he’s gone.
100% certain they do not care.
