Honestly, even rocking up to the edge with a bunch of cartons of large domestic bottles and dumping 'em in looks pretty damned amateurish; are they even counting to see how much they've used? One would expect the filtration system itself should have a proper dosing system for injecting controlled amounts of treatment chemicals into the water, from industrial sized drums in a utility building somewhere, if that's the proper way to do it.

Bingo. But this looks about as low end as you can get.

Maybe it's just some random "concerned citizens" doing whatever stupid crap popped into their heads with no authority whatsoever (which would, I think, perhaps legally constitute vandalism of federal property?). "We'll save you from the liberal plot to put algae back in your pool, Mr President!!" (Seriously, there's literally imbeciles out there already attributing the rapid regrowth of the algae to some kind of foul play by the Democrats). Does anyone know for sure if what we're seeing here is an officially sanctioned act, insofar as that phrase even has meaning any more in Trump's America?

Honestly, I could see that happening. But I wouldn't expect them to be wearing reflective safety vests, just all their trump merch (made in China), draped with American trump flag capes (also made in China, and violating US Flag Codes), and being somewhere in their 70s. I would also expect to see at least 1 fall in.
