I think we should all start writing our Representatives and Senators to DEMAND a bill that FORCES the Orange Menace to write a check from a personal account (no donor bullshit) to pay for the repairs & restoration of the pool to it original state. No ifs, ands or butts. And see to it that a competent professional company, selected by Congress is hired for the project. No Trump lackeys.
A no blaming Joe Biden either !
Note:
When he refuses, stop his paycheck to cover the costs
