Days after the completion this month of a $14 MILLION renovation, the water in the Lincoln Memorial’s #ReflectingPool had more algae in it than at any recorded point in the month of June for at least 5 years…
#Trump vowed to clean up what he called the “filthy” & “disgusting” water…He promised to resurface the basin to eliminate persistent leaking & to paint it “American flag blue.” Once the pool started to be refilled, on June 4, he praised its “clean, beautiful water.”
