Trump resort pools were so filthy they had to be shut down 10 times

By Oliver Willis -

Trump's pools are nearly as dirty as his presidency.

The swimming pools at Trump's Florida properties have been shut down 10 times in the past 12 months after failing inspections by the state department of health.

Inspectors found a variety of problems with Trump's pools, including improper pH levels, issues with "disinfection feeders" that regulate chlorine levels, as well as faulty safety features like handrails and ladders.

The wrong levels of pH and chlorine can lead to dangerous conditions that cause the spread of skin, ear, eye and gastrointestinal diseases.

"Swimming pools at Trump resort properties in Florida are cited for poor water quality and other health and safety violations far more frequently by the state's Department of Health than pools at comparable luxury properties," Quartz reported on Monday.

If Trump ever swam in them there'd be a layer of scum that would have to be removed. The Velveteen Ocelot May 2019 #1

But he probably doesn't swim because it would mess up his hair. And please, God, strike him down if he ever appears in public in Speedos.
