It does not produce any toxins or harm people,\u201d Rosalina Christova, an aquatic ecologist at George Mason University, told WUSA90. <\/p>\n<p>Trump and his allies have blamed all of the pool\u2019s issues on \u201cradical leftists\u201d and saboteurs they claim have been deliberately damaging the site. The \u201cAmerican flag blue\u201d coating that Trump used to resurface the pool is at the center of the ongoing fiasco, as scientists have said the darker color it brought to the bottom of the pool likely increased the water temperature and, in turn, led to excessive algae blooms. <\/p>\n<p>The coating itself has also begun to flake off and peel in some areas before floating up to the surface. While the president has claimed vandals are to blame for ripping off parts of the coating, the real culprit may be the hydrogen peroxide workers are dumping into the water, which can be used to break down and strip paint. <\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Trump took to Truth Social to declare that work would \u201cimmediately\u201d begin to repair the pool.
