He found an image he said “really captures the problem” more than the Fox News crew did. That photo, posted by an event organizer, shows a singer on stage with a guitar player next to her in sunglasses.
“If you zoom in, let’s do it, on the guitarist’s sunglasses you can see a crowd of less than a dozen people in the reflection,” he said as the camera moved in to show the reflection.

Trump has blamed vandals, and over the weekend insisted that “the criminally made algae is gone.”
But Soboroff visited the pool and found it “remains a very, very, very algae green.”
