Donald Trump posts on Truth Social that the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool appears “crystal clear,” sharing photos in which the water looks clear and the Washington Monument reflection is visible. The post attributes the clearer appearance to technology described as an “advanced nanobubbler,” which the message says kills algae.
Trump’s remarks also include a call for the arrest of a vandalism suspect, linking the pool’s condition to an earlier allegation involving wrongdoing. The outlets describe the photos as showing the pool and the reflection of the Washington Monument with a clear, blue look.
Across the two reports, the central elements are Trump’s sharing of photos and his characterization of the pool’s condition as exceptionally clear, along with his urging law enforcement to arrest a suspect in connection with alleged vandalism. Both accounts present the event as Trump’s social media claim, rather than independently confirming the underlying technology or the suspect’s identity in the reports provided.
