For all those responding in bad faith, asking what the problem is - As I recall, these were some of the main points:
trump used millions in tax payer money and didn't fix any actual issues. All this unnecessary work while trump says we can't afford Medicare or childcare and spends billions on a war he started unilaterally.
used to be granite/marble floor, meant to reflect monument best
further, was meant to reflect reality that can be "murky" and not just give a fake, polished, happy facsimile. So not being bright blue and shiny was part of the point
gave a no bid, kickback contract to his own "personal pool guy" who will likely funnel millions back to trump
as always, does this with no review, oversight traditionally key to touching our monuments using our taxpayer money
painted a more premium non-painted surface that will now red to constantly be repainted as it's exposed to harsh conditions outside
