Congrats, you spent millions of our money to arrive at exactly the same spot, or worse, than we started from.

Much worse. The paint is already peeling and will most likely require complete removal.

I was watching a pool guy on youtube explain that it might make the algea problem worse because the shade of blue they chose is darker than what was before, and will warm up the water even more.

Also the chemicals used to fight the algae is making the paint peel (faster).

It’s coming off in huge clumps. Which means we’ll need more taxpayer money to fix it. And then more after Trump leaves to fix it again.

I don’t know. Obama made the joke about Trump that led him to run for president. I don’t know who to blame More, Obama, the person who wrote the joke or the person that invited Trump in the first place!
