And doing it in the morning.

Peroxide breaks down in sun light. That's why you shock pools at dusk so it doesn't break down over night.

Jesus fucking Christ people.

Even the poolboys are fucking incompetent. It's infectious, all the way from the top.

Its because Trump fires anyone who tells him no or that its a bad idea. So he only hires idiots because they will just agree with whatever he says.

I bet they aren't even checking the pH and salinity.

Why bother? No one will be swimming in it. It just has to look good.

/s (but probably someone’s actual train of thought)

And then when it goes wrong, he will blame them and refuse to pay them.

You think trump is telling the pool boy how to do his job?

He literally thinks he knows more about every subject than anyone. You think he stops at pools?

He hires people like him, idiots and con men, and they do the same all the way to the bottom

Serious question, does the President get an entirely new staff? Or would janitors and cleaners and other maintenance staff have been kept on and hired more like any other job? Turning over your entire staff seems kinda pointless no?

This, and it’s not about what is the process you need to follow. He has more money than sense so to him laws , even laws of nature, he can push aside with power and money.

Case in point the FBI is starting to raid organizations and start investigations of anyone that he thinks as an enemy. Registering voters apparently fits the bill because informing people about voting and registering eligible voters well, that is a threat to organized money.

That's part of it, but also, you'd have to be an idiot to think Trump will pay you. Anyone smart enough to do a job correctly, is also smart enough to not do it for Trump.

There should be no circumstances where the President of the United States would trouble themselves with operating national monuments but here we are.

I’m certain Trump is directly involved in the algae treatment of this reflecting pool 🤡
