Drained Reflecting Pool reveals Trump’s ‘American flag blue’ liner is now closer to gray
Lincoln Memorial pool drained again for repairs, with officials citing peeling liner and algae while President Trump blames vandalism for damage.
- On Friday, July 10, crews began draining the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to conduct repairs after President Donald Trump cited "scars and damage" allegedly caused by vandals.
- The $14 million restoration project has faced repeated setbacks since April, including algae blooms and peeling paint, despite Trump's initial promise to complete work by July 4.
- A Washington Post analysis and independent experts concluded the lining failed at seams due to installation errors, contradicting Trump's vandalism claims. On-site observers reported no visible gashes.
- Authorities arrested several individuals for alleged vandalism, including former Olympic canoeist David Hearn, who pleaded not guilty in D.C. Superior Court. Civil plaintiffs requested court access to inspect the basin.
- Fenced off to the public, the landmark faces an uncertain future as the National Park Service has provided no definitive refilling timeline. Officials pledge repairs will complete soon.
