I spoke with Curtis Wood, owner of Atlantic Industrial Coatings, LLC, the company that received the no-bid contract to “fix” the Reflecting Pool. Here’s what he told me on our call:

- The Trump administration had already chosen the Rhino polyurea coating as their solution before Wood ever came on board, and his company was on a short list of recommended vendors (only one located east of the Mississippi).

- Wood says he never met Trump prior to the May 7 photo op, when Trump’s motorcade drove across the Reflecting Pool. He also couldn’t explain why Trump claimed Wood worked for him or called him his “pool guy.”

- When I mentioned the “American Flag Blue” coating contributed to the record-setting algae bloom as well as the hydrogen peroxide causing the polyurea to peel off the concrete, he became noticeably defensive.
