It would be hilarious if it wasn't wasting 14.2 million dollars on a no bid contract that we all knew was going to fail since it was, just like everything Trump, surface level.

They're talking about the same thing. The term "Bleach" is ambiguous and mostly describes a result rather than a specific chemical. It could be talking about sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, or sodium percarbonate (or any number of other chemicals that make things white)

    Sure, when used a verb...

    When someone "bleached their hair" they used hydrogen peroxide, because that would achieve a bleaching effect

    However the headline uses it as noun "dumps bleach in pool". And I'm pretty sure that's not correct.

    The article says hydrogen peroxide, but headlines are often written by someone else and I think that's where the confusion came from.

    Yeah. I was gonna say. When I buy "bleach" (literally says it in the bottle) it's sodium hypochlorite diluted in water. But I'd never want to burn my scalp with it trying "bleach" my hair.

    It would be hilarious, ironically, if they ended up making chlorine gas because they just poured in whatever they thought would fix it.
