U.S. President Donald Trump says the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool needs additional repairs after damage that he attributes to “vandalism.” According to multiple reports, Trump comments come amid visible problems shortly after the pool’s recent renovation, including an algae bloom and peeling paint. On Friday, Trump said the pool was “vandalized” and defended his administration’s response to the reported issues. He linked the setbacks to alleged vandalism affecting both the site and the newly installed surfaces. On Saturday, Trump said the problems are significant enough that much of the water will “probably” need to be drained so repairs can be done, describing the work as necessary. The renovation project reportedly cost more than $14 million, and outlets describe the reported damage occurring within about two weeks of completion. While the accounts reflect Trump’s claims about the cause, the reports focus on what he says and the visible conditions reported at the site—algae, peeling paint, and surface deterioration—alongside his plan for repair steps that include drainage.
