Blue paint peels off Reflecting Pool in viral clip days after Trump's $14M 'upgrade'

A massive chunk of blue paint was seen floating in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., torn from the bottom, days after a massive $14 million upgrade to the monument was completed.

There were no bids for the monument job - Trump just awarded the contract to "his pool guy" and the contract went way over budget.
A couple of days after the job was done the pool developed an algae problem and the WH blamed it on left over algae in the pipes - instead of blaming Trump's pool guy for not flushing out the pipes properly.
Now a big piece of paint flaked off and who will they blame - probably not Trump's pool guy. I think they should test that paint chip and I bet they will find its the poorest quality paint that tax payers money can buy because the less the material cost the more kick back Trump gets from his pool guy. Cheers!

Trump was notorious for stiffing contractors and claiming poor workmanship. Want to bet in this case trump's pals keep the money and probably get a new contract for repairs. .

Lets see, resting water sitting on top of dark painted surface, sitting in the baking D.C. sun hour after hour. Huh, waddya know, algae. Well nobody could've predicted that happening.
