The other background: Trump paid 16 million to "fix" an algae problem at the reflecting pool in Washington dc. The money went to a friend who wasn't qualified for the job and who didn't bother treating any of the plumbing which sat dormant while they drained and painted the bottom of the pool over several weeks. When the pool was re-opened it almost immediately started displaying algae problems again which MAGA conspiracy theorized that it was a far-left op to sabotage trump's project. But really the project just did a terrible job. And now the latest development is the the paint is peeling up, because of course it is-- again, trump's friend who was paid for this was not qualified.
