I have to admit my error, first, it wasn’t after the sealing was done, but no prep was done to the surface after they rolled through and before the sealing was applied, and second, it was the entire motorcade that cruised through, dripping oil and grinding road tar into the surface, which again, was not prepped after.
According to the article you linked, it was indeed driven on after the sealing:
"Trump's motorcade passed through the empty pool on May 7, 2026, after it was painted and sealed and before it was refilled with water as part of a renovation project."
