... has done to the Reflecting Pool has contributed to the inevitable failure of the project.

After it was drained, they gave it nowhere near enough time to dry out before applying the appropriate primer, and there's no guarantee that they even took the time to do that properly. That careless oversight alone doomed this fiasco to failure.

Having painted over concrete that still retained moisture, they proceeded to drive heavy vehicles over it to further weaken the bond in an infantile display of raw ego.

They refilled the Pool WAY too soon for the paint to have thoroughly cured and bonded.

The dark blue paint was a stupid error that the contractor should have warned Trump about the instant it was suggested. But Trump knows more about painting pools than anyone, right? With ideal conditions served up on a gold-painted platter, the algae bloomed in record time.

Trump is a malignant narcissist and a pathological liar, so there wasn't the remotest chance in hell that he would ever admit his cascade of ego-driven mistakes. He's also a textbook psychopath, so he had zero compunction over arresting a casual observer and blaming him for a monumental fuck-up that was Trump's own fault from the git-go.

IF this case ever makes it to court, Trump's band of boot-licking strip mall lawyers will get their asses handed to them, while Trump screeches about "rigged trials", or whatever the fuck asinine excuse come to his Adderall-polluted mind.

What did we do to deserve this mutant asshole, anyway?
