For me it's about highlighting hypocrisy, incompetence, and outright idiocy in general, and in the government specifically.
This reflecting pool fiasco is just chock full o' all that stuff. The guy who came to "drain the swamp" giving out no-bid contracts to companies that clearly aren't qualified to do the job; one of which is ultimately owned by one of his Mar a Lago neighbors and longtime donor.
So the company that applied sealer
The White House says Trump wasn't involved with the National Park Service's selection, which I personally very much doubt, but he hand picked the company that did the cleaning and sealing because they had worked on his pool at some point.
There's a bidding process for a reason., but the stable genius figured he knew best because he can't conceive of a world where he doesn't, and none of the Bs and Cs that he brought into the administration will ever tell him what is obvious to anyone who has any brain cells to rub together.
That guy only hates corruption that isn't his corruption
