The paint is already peeling in Trump's renovated Washington Reflecting Pool
Workers are treating the pool with hydrogen peroxide and nanobubble ozone technology as blue material peels away and algae returns after the renovation.
- On Thursday, large flaps of "American Flag Blue" paint began peeling from the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, floating to the surface just weeks after President Donald Trump's $14.7 million renovation project was completed.
- Trump directed the overhaul earlier this year, awarding a no-bid contract to Atlantic Industrial Coatings LLC to fix persistent leaks and algae issues ahead of the nation's historic 250th anniversary celebrations.
- Despite deploying advanced nanobubbler technology and hydrogen peroxide this week, National Park Service crews failed to combat an algae bloom that has turned the water murky green.
- Aquatic Council chairman Tim Auerhahn cited potential "apparent delamination," while Atlantic Industrial Coatings owner Eddie Wood promised to address maintenance issues, as visitors like Robert Dale criticized the project's use of taxpayer resources.
- The pool's issues serve as a metaphor for Trump's broader capital projects, including a White House ballroom and a "National Garden of American Heroes," amidst ongoing scrutiny over planning processes.
