President Donald Trump bragged endlessly about the 'American Flag Blue' color of the Reflecting Pool, and the speed with which the renovation took place, but a new report claims it is those two things that may have doomed the project from the start.
The company that carried out extensive repairs to the Reflecting Pool in 2010 turned down Trump's renovation, CNN reported on Friday.
New Jersey-based Sika Corporation reportedly balked at the requirements that the work be completed by July 4 and that the bottom of the pool be blue.
Two employees with Sika Corporation, who spoke on the condition they not be identified, said both demands made the job "unfeasible," the network said.

That's the difference between professional and amateur companies.
And the "Art of the deal" m***n decided to go with amateurs.
Gee, I wonder if they ever got paid? Not like it really matters.
This has been a total failure, and he now wants to tag it to innocent people, that had nothing to do with the poor installation.
This is unbelievable.
