BREAKING: Trump's Reflecting Pool contractors — including a TRUMP DONOR — are now under congressional investigation for the $16 million algae disaster. The contractors behind Trump's botched $16 million Reflecting Pool — now a swampy, peeling, bright-green embarrassment — are officially in HOT WATER with Congress. And surprise: one of them is a major Trump donor. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) launched an investigation into the disastrous renovation, demanding answers from John Cafaro, CEO of Green Water Solutions, and Curtis Wood, CEO of Atlantic Industrial Coatings — the two firms that scored NO-BID contracts to wreck one of Washington's most iconic landmarks. The numbers are infuriating. Atlantic Industrial Coatings landed a $14.7 million contract — MORE THAN DOUBLE the original $6.7 million estimate. Green Water Solutions got $1.7 million for a filtration system that apparently doesn't filter. Merkley nailed the hypocrisy: "After railing about waste, fraud, and abuse, Donald Trump spent more than $16 million on a renovation of the Reflecting Pool that's now peeling and chock full of algae. This is a massive waste of working families' hard-earned tax dollars. I'm launching an investigation because taxpayers deserve swift answers — and a REFUND." Now, here's where it gets really swampy. Rep. Robert Garcia pointed out that contractor John Cafaro has donated EXTENSIVELY to Trump's campaign and aligned groups — and his firm has only ever had one other federal contract, which was ALSO a no-bid award handed out under Trump. A Trump donor. No competitive bidding. A multi-million-dollar contract. A pool that immediately turned green. You can connect the dots with your eyes closed.. Merkley is also demanding answers about one truly absurd detail: on May 7, Trump's motorcade — at least a DOZEN armored vehicles — drove directly onto the drained pool so Trump could "inspect" it. The senator wants to know if anyone approved heavy vehicles rolling over the freshly repaired expansion joints. (Spoiler: that might explain a lot.) The Interior Department's defense? "The White House was not involved in the selection process... Full stop." They also provided ZERO evidence for Trump's wild claim that "vandals" with knives sabotaged the pool. A botched job by a Trump donor handed a no-bid contract. A motorcade driving on freshly applied pool surfacing. And taxpayers footing the entire bill. It’s clear that the swamp has a new color scheme — and it’s looking exactly like algae green. Please like and share if you’re SICK of Trump’s entire corrupt administration!
