Trump Gave His "Pool Guy" a $6.9M No-Bid Contract to Paint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Blue — the Guy Doesn't Do Pools
Trump handpicked a firm he said worked on his swimming pools to repaint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool "American Flag Blue" via a $6.9M no-bid contract — triple the $1.8M he publicly claimed. The company's website shows zero swimming pool experience (they waterproof highway culverts). The cost may hit $12M. Experts: the blue paint won't stop algae from turning it green by summer.
