First it was algae, now the blue paint on the reflecting pool is peeling

It got worse.After $14 .7 million US in renovations, the blue lining in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is now starting to peel.That's on top of the algae bloom that has returned, something the renovations were hoping to fix.See, the plan was to paint the bottom blue, a shade Trump called American Flag Blue, and install technology that adds oxygen bubbles to the water.But less than two weeks later, it was clear things didn't go quite as planned.Earlier this week, some workers were even seen pouring hydrogen peroxide into the pool.

And you might be wondering, who did the actual work?Well, the contract was awarded to one company with no bidding process.Trump said he picked a company that had previously done work on pools for one of his golf clubs.Reporting from The New York Times couldn't verify that or whether they have any expertise in pools.This renovation is just one part of Trump's push to beautify Washington for this year's July 4 celebration of 250 years since the U .S.
