Lincoln Pool Damage and Presidential Claims

President Trump claims six people were arrested for vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, calling the damage intentional and blaming it on “American flag blue” paint that’s now peeling — but only one arrest has been confirmed for touching the paint, and contractors say the issue is minor and fixable under warranty. Algae blooms and paint problems have emerged since the $14M renovation, with no evidence supporting Trump’s theory that fertilizer caused the algae — though hydrogen peroxide was spotted being added, which could harm the coating. With the nation’s 250th anniversary approaching, security concerns are mounting as repairs and costs remain unclear. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
