Reading into the Wikipedia sources it seems the type of sealant used was liked not cured sufficiently before it was exposed to the elements. (Makes sense, the average pool isn’t getting cooked in direct sunlight like the reflecting pool was).
It’s like a home chef trying to cook in an industrial kitchen for 1000s of people. Trump’s pool guy just repeated the process used for personal pools on a project way beyond the scale they were qualified for. Shit didn’t work how they expected it to in a completely different climate and and scale.
It short. “Trump’s friend” was completely unqualified. Shocker.
Not to mention that hydrogen peroxide readily reacts with organic matter (which is how it kills stuff) and the pool was full of algae to react with.
My guess is that either a layer of grey crud grew over the liner, or the dye/liner was never water safe to begin with.
