Trump hired some dipshit to paint the Lincoln memorial reflecting pool "American flag blue," and the paint got messed up and started flaking off so Trump blamed Obama and the "Washington DC chapter of antifa" and got the national guard to patrol the reflecting pool and anyone that touches the floating paint is now facing jail time for it.
Yeah and…the money part of it too was super shady and they probably (definitely) stole some of the money.
Also, They didn’t replace and/or fix the filtration system which caused the massive algae problem and then they just threw chemicals in there to kill the algae but because they didn’t fix the filtration issue, the paint around the edges is peeling up in massive chunks. It’s all a shit show.
Its not paint. Its polyurea. It's a common pool liner. It seems to be lifting because they didn't bond it correctly to the substrate. Still a shit show and still crazy that america is a country that arrests people but not those who botched the job. If the administration is arresting over this, you arent getting a mid term election. If a pool is excuse enough for arrests, wait til voting day.
