    I can’t help but wonder what exactly is going on here. Are the good contractors scared of ICE taking them away, leaving talentless MAGA hacks as the only ones participating in this project?

    Or maybe they’re aware Trump never pays others for their work, and this is an example of “you get what you pay for”?

    Or it could be an example of top-down incompetence, where the workers are faithfully following a boss’s orders, but the boss is such an inept loser that this is what following their words gets?

    Or maybe the workers hate Trump and this is their small way of protesting/sabotaging his plans?

    So many possibilities!

      In this case there was no bid, which is supposed to be a rare government assessment when it can either only be done by one vendor due to technology, complication, or a deep history of success on the same project environment. I’m not sure what the federal limit is to trigger the bid process, but I know it’s lower than “millions” of dollars. Basically the finance office and corruption watchdogs are not doing their job here because they’ve been replaced by rubber stamps.

    Trump just gave the job to someone who is as competent for painting pools as he is for sitting in the White House.

    Holy shit, what a terrible job! LOL

    Also, if they were serious about making it look better, they should have installed a water filtration system, and maybe some LED lighting so they could make the water look whatever color they wanted.

    Just release the Epstein files you disgusting pile of orange manure!

    I always liked to say that the US is a third world country with a first world paintjob but holy shit, the paint is flaking off quickly.

      Bet that paint is half water now, too.

      Well if it was Krylon it was made that way.
