Was that paint made in America?
"There’s a new twist in the ongoing saga to clean up the Reflecting Pool. Some of the new “American Flag Blue” paint used to coat the bottom appears to be peeling away.
The bottom of the pool was painted at the direction of President Donald Trump and refilled with water about two weeks ago. Since then, algae that blooms in the Reflecting Pool every summer returned, making the pool green.
Crews have been scrubbing the algae out and using nanobubble ozone technology to try and clean the pool. Workers were recently seen dumping hydrogen peroxide in the water.
Thursday, some of the blue paint started lifting from the bottom. About half-way down the south side of the Reflecting Pool, a 2- to 3-foot section appeared to be peeling away near the pool’s edge. As the wind blew, the chunk rose above the water, ripping away from the bottom just a little bit more."

Could've saved a lot of money
Could've saved a lot of money on cleaning by painting the bottom of the pool green to camouflage the inevitable algal growth.
Duh...and i would've charged only 2 mil for consultation and 5 mil for some Sherman Williams.

Another failure from the worst President ever. Raise your hand if you chose this with your vote (sounds of crickets ensue)
It's actually both laughable and incredibly but not surprisingly sad pathetic coming from this organization.

My bad. Apparently this project doesn't actually fall under "property development".
It's just more "Trump and friends stealing all the money, as usual"
>>>Federal contracting records show the National Park Service bypassed the government's usual competitive-bidding process and awarded a $1.7 million no-bid contract to the Ohio-based firm Greenwater Services, the Times reported.
The company is owned by J.J. Cafaro Investment Trust led by John J. Cafaro, a Trump donor who owns a Palm Beach mansion near the president's private Mar-a-Lago club.
Trump has described Cafaro as a "fantastic man," the Times reported, despite his multiple run-ins with the law.
In 2002, Cafaro pled guilty to conspiracy to bribe former Democratic Rep. Jim Traficant of Ohio.
The congressman was convicted of 10 felony counts, and Cafaro—who testified on behalf of the prosecution at trial—was fined $150,000 and placed on probation, according to The Plain Dealer, the local newspaper for Cleveland, Ohio.
Two years later, in 2004, Cafaro admitted making an undisclosed $10,000 "loan" to his daughter Capri Cafaro's unsuccessful run for Congress in violation of campaign donation limits. The loan was never repaid.<<<
and so on. https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-donor-pled-guilty-two...

i saw a comment that said sealing the granite doesn't let water naturally seep through so the only way to prevent algae would be circulation...which of course negates the stillness/reflection....

Trump Pulled in at Least $2 Billion After Returning to the White House
The release of a mandatory financial disclosure for 2025 shows that the Trump family’s holdings, particularly the president’s crypto businesses, were stunningly lucrative.
Excerpt:
The returns, which had been something of a mystery, highlight a conflict in the president’s crypto business: Not only is Mr. Trump a major crypto industry operator, but he is also its top policymaker.
It is hardly the only issue to arise from having a businessman serve as president. The president’s family business, the Trump Organization, has also capitalized on Mr. Trump’s popularity in certain parts of the world, licensing the Trump name to properties in countries that are crucial to U.S. foreign policy interests, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment, though in the past, Mr. Trump has noted that he is exempt from federal conflict of interest laws.
Anna Kelly, a White House spokeswoman, said in a recent statement that Mr. Trump “only acts in the best interests of the American public,” and that “there are no conflicts of interest.”
