Donald Trump’s $14 million Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation couldn’t stop algae from blooming in the D.C. heat and turning the water a murky shade of green once again.
The unsightly hue plagued the pool just in time for an estimated 125,000 people to descend on Washington for Trump’s “Freedom 250” UFC fights on the White House lawn for his birthday on Sunday — despite work crews spreading chlorine pellets to try to deter algae growth.
The Washington Post reported that the bloom “expanded between Wednesday and Thursday amid wet and warm weather.”
I doubt they do. Want to know why? Because nobody fucking bid on it.
It is personal to me because it was a no-bid contract for under $2 million that increased by over 700% to $14 million of money directly from taxpayers. This is my money.
Want to try to defend that, or…?
Are you familiar with large capital projects and how much a project funded by public money is allowed to increase by legally? Because I am.
It’s 20% the original contract amount in most places. Not 700%.
I’m just trying to understand how you know pipes are the problem? I ain’t defending shit, but your speaking with authority and in depth knowledge. Is it bull shit? If you think I’m defending anything here that’s just projection on your part.
It’s been all over the news.
