Donald Trump managed to get $14.2 million so his pool contractor from Virginia could recoat the pool with a waterproof blue coat. Trump bypassed bidding to hand pick his pool contractor. The bidding process is where the Government normally gets the best price and weeds out unqualified bidders. Apart from a nano bubbler, nothing was done about the algae problem that has been present since the pool was switched from municipal water to water from the Tidal Basin in 2012. The pool presents an environment ideally suited to algae growth, having a shallow 15-30 inch depth conducive to warming up in the sun. The dark blue color only increases the warming. The underlying problem, though, isn't technical. It's the amateurishness of Team Trump. Trump didn't avail himself of experts. He thinks he's an expert. Trump, though, is not a master builder. He's a hack real estate developer from Queens New York. Trump thinks he has "extreme intelligence." Trump, 80, is in an age group where the mean WAIS-IV before age norming is 79. 79 IQ is borderline intellectual functioning. It is in the 8th percentile, which means just 8% of the population have lower IQ
A pricey redesign couldn’t prevent algae from creeping into the Reflecting Pool, and workers rushed to clean it after the big reveal. Click the link below to see all of the photos ⬇️ 📸 Josh Morgan, USA TODAY usatoday.com/picture-gallery…

Thanks for nothing, Mr. President. The Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool is like a Petri dish* for algae. Donald Trump had the pool contractor who works at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, recoat the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool Old Glory Blue, which he called "American flag blue." Trump said the people who did the work were "patriotic." The company got paid $14,191,477.48 for the work. Trump is a hack real estate developer from Queens, New York, not a master builder. He knows nothing about reflecting pools. The pool became filled with algae 5 days after being refilled, showing what hapens when people don't know what they're doing. Donald Trump has a "reverse Midas touch." Instead of turning into gold, everything Trump touches turns to shit. * "A Petri dish is a shallow, transparent, cylindrical lidded dish used by biologists to culture microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and cells. Invented in 1877 by German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri, it typically holds a nutrient-filled gel called agar and remains a fundamental tool in life science and medical research."

Tidal Basin water is full of algae and not chlorinated. "The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is not continuously chlorinated in the same way a standard swimming pool is. Instead, it relies on a large circulation and filtration system that draws water from the Tidal Basin and uses ozone disinfection." "Yes, a 15 to 30-inch deep pool is highly likely to develop algae. In fact, these shallow depths are ideal for algae—which thrive in warm, sunlit, and stagnant water. Airborne spores land in the water and can multiply into a visible bloom within just 24 to 48 hours." The water in the Tidal Basin comes directly from the Potomac River. "The Potomac River supports several types of algae, including essential green algae and diatoms, but it frequently experiences blooms of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)."

Donald Trump's "patriotic" pool contractor -- the same one he uses for Mar-a-Lago -- did a quickie recoat the way a hack real estate developer wants. They got paid $13 million but that doesn't mean the job was worth $2 million. The algae is back because nothing was done about it.
