Actor Kelsey Grammer addresses criticism aimed at President Donald Trump and others over the restoration of Washington, D.C.’s Reflecting Pool. According to reporting from multiple outlets, Grammer frames the backlash as coming from a small group of people focused on “tearing things down,” and he calls for a more constructive approach. Both sources describe Grammer’s remarks as part of a broader public message that also includes a prayer for the country as Americans look toward the nation’s 250th anniversary. The accounts tie his comments to ongoing disputes around the Reflecting Pool project, which has drawn controversy and public debate. While the coverage emphasizes Grammer’s tone and the prayer element, it does not present new policy details or additional factual developments about the project itself beyond the existence of the restoration-related controversy. The reporting characterizes his statements as a response to Trump detractors rather than an independently verified assessment of the restoration effort.
