Lincoln Pool Renovation Under Fire

Taxpayers are footing the bill for a $14 million Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation that’s now plagued by algae, sealant tears, and accusations of political favoritism. Two companies—Green Water Solutions, which donated to Trump’s campaign, and Atlantic Industrial Coatings, with no prior federal contracts but ties to Trump’s golf courses—were awarded no-bid contracts. Senators are demanding answers, calling it a “failed presidential vanity project,” while contractors insist the work is mostly complete and minor issues will be fixed under warranty. The former president claims the pool was vandalized, citing arrests and releasing surveillance footage, while the White House touts the pool as “crystal clear” and credits him for the restoration—despite mounting criticism and calls for him to pay for the mess.
