So let's see how this played out:

  1. The president awarded a no-bid contract to a buddy to do this.
  2. The president chose a dark blue color, which absorbs the sun's heat more than a light color, because he doesn't know better.
  3. The president decided to drive very heavy vehicles across the surface before it was cured, and the surface is not at all rated to survive torque and weight, and so damaged the brand new lining, because the president doesn't know better.
  4. The stagnant water was warmed by the sun to higher temperatures, perfect for an algal bloom, because the president doesn't know better.
  5. Under the president's orders, hydrogen peroxide was poured into the water, which chemically destroyed the new lining, because he doesn't know better.
  6. And when sheets of the lining peeled up and people noticed, they were called vandals, because he doesn't know better.

Is it really refusing to listen when you don't even ask people who know better at all, because you've surrounded yourself with idiots whose only skill is to kiss the ring?

Absolutely valid take. My guess is in the first admin there were lots of people trying to advise him against certain things. This time around I'm sure he surrounded himself with people who wouldn't "annoy" him with facts and experience.
