President Donald Trump the developer was undermined by his worst enemy — President Donald Trump the trade warrior, according to a new report. The botched renovation was collateral damage from his tariff war, argued the Times, describing it as a "problem of Mr. Trump's making." Jarboe recalled speaking with Schutzenhofer in March about the need to expedite the work as President Trump wanted the renovation completed by July 4. After the trade show, Schutzenhofer selected a polyurea liner coating system for the pool's concrete slabs. Faced with the shortage due to the president's trade war with China, Creative Polymers was forced to partner with Rhino Linings, a California company that manufactured polyurea coatings at its Texas facility.
