Trump, without proof, blames ‘vandalism’ as Reflecting Pool turns green again

Summary

With algae-green water and blue peeling paint, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is set to be drained again, despite Donald Trump's recent renovation costing over $14 million. Trump has blamed the problems on "vandalism," claiming a 350-foot gash was deliberately cut into the pool and saying multiple arrests have been made. However, he has not publicly provided evidence for the claims, despite journalists pressing him for proof.
