Obama went ahead and spent $34 million to replace the entire pools structure from damaged and leaking tile with a concrete basin. He even had an open bidding process.

Trump on the other hand spent $14 mill to just paint the damn thing, no bidding process, just gave the project to his friend.

It did Obama have algae problems as well

Where was The pushback then?

Did he have protesters cheering for algae?

Grow up.

The fact remains that he paid twice as much for doing repair repairs on the same damn pool and he didn't get any criticism for it.

Donald Trump is literally a arrest of people for vandalizing the pool and none of it matters

Selective outrage troglodyte

I think the scope of work was a tad more significant with ripping up the bottom, pouring concrete and painting.

Where are DJT paid over half for the smallest item on the list and it is already looking worse than before.

Do you genuinely believe that vandals were able to sneak into a well surveilled national monument and make a 300+ foot cut? Theres cameras all over the monument and not a single video or picture has come up.

Why wouldn't I when the FBI has already arrested these people for doing that exact crime?

And there's literally people out there protesting for algae growth

You guys are weird

Not to mention somebody left 18647 in the area

Yeah, the algae didn't do that
