Why I Joined Team Algae

The Atlantic reported the Reflecting Pool at the White House turned green due to algae, prompting the use of hydrogen peroxide which peeled off a sealant. This incident involved no-bid contracts awarded to John J. Cafaro, a Trump donor convicted of conspiracy to bribe an elected official. President Trump attributed the algae bloom and sealant peeling to sabotage by unnamed enemies, claiming they inflicted damage and introduced chemicals to the pool. He subsequently altered the description of the alleged damage and the substance used.
