My guess is that he used Kemper Systems Kemperol 2K.
Good for us that Trump knows about construction and knows the right questions and the right people to do the job.

He did exactly what I would have done. It will last for 50 years or more. Then, you just recoat it for another term. Good stuff.

The large “MAGA” emblem painted on the bottom of the pool may be overdone.

Love this man! In his element repairing DC.

I grew up near enough to got there often, and by the time Obama got in the WH, the gleaming white monuments had become filthy. The Jefferson Memorial’s white dome—a landmark visible not just on DC’s streets but also from the major highways to everyone who drives past DC—was dulled and streaked with moldy grime. The homeless encampments that make a leftie hater’s heart beat faster were a disgrace.

Finally, a Master Developer came to DC. What a difference his point of view and experience make. Godspeed to him! Cannot wait to see the Ballroom and the Arch!

Undoubtedly, they were looking for a way to acquire lifetime jobs supervising the work. Their 3 year proposed timelines were 50 years of work in the real government world.

I hate to think what left-wing protesters will do to that reflecting pool.

Wow, incredible, massively thrifty, fast and efficient.

This is why we need more people like Trump in office. People who are not career politicians who know how to get things done right, fast and for far less than the pork laden projections of lifelong bureaucrats.

That dollar amount is a great price for the size/scale of the reflecting pool. Its BIG.

The US Embassy in Israel is another example. His plan cost a lot less and was done much quicker.

They have had no end of problems with the memorial complex
Ever since it was built, largely due to the fact that it is built on reclaimed river bottom.

This story seems to gild the lily at least a little, because other renovations were planned, beyond repairing the integrity of the basin, which is due to settling of the ground

Somebody’s wife, son, cousin, brother-in-law etc. that owns a construction company is no doubt upset at the loss of a highly profitable scheme.

✅ $1.5–2 MILLION
✅ Done in 2 weeks
✅ Will last 40–50 years and look better than 1922

MAGA! No doubt there will be a lot of grumbling and hurt feelings in the bureaucracy.

The structural problems aren’t something a pool coating will fix. This requires geotechnical engineering that is beyond the capabilities of a pool company applying a coating. At best, it’s a very short-term aesthetic upgrade.

Demoncrats always overprice!
The rest goes into their pockets!
Lately, nothing gets done by them and no one can account for the missing millions!
THIEFOCRATS!
MEGALOOTERS!
And their pawns are open about being microlooters…….!
They’re so stupid they don’t know that raises prices for everybody else.
Maybe they DO know and DON’T care.
