So **** g'ddammned stupid
Atlantic Industrial Coatings, a construction company that President Trump said has previously worked on his swimming pool at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia, initially won a $13.1 million no-bid contract despite having no previous experience in federal construction. The cost later ballooned to $14.6 million, with additional work from the National Park Service, federal records show. The company was tasked to repaint and waterproof the pool's concrete floor, which Trump previously claimed that the renovation would cost under $2 million.
According to the New York Times, Atlantic Industrial Coatings submitted a bid that charged 20 percent of profit margin, far exceeding the usual profit margins for other federal contractors which range from six percent to 12 percent. The bidding process as well as the quality of the company’s work are both now under congressional investigations.
