Trump Says Reflecting Pool Final Coat Is Complete, Water Flowing Soon
Trump said the $13.1 million renovation was finished after crews applied a leak-sealing blue coating, and water began returning to the pool.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced completion of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool's renovations in the Oval Office, displaying a chart titled "Our Pool is Bigger than Skyscrapers" comparing the 2,030-foot landmark to the Empire State Building.
- Built on marshy ground in 1922, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has struggled with persistent leaks for decades, prompting Trump to approve a polyurea coating project as part of his "Safe and Beautiful" campaign to restore the landmark.
- The $13.1 million renovation has faced scrutiny from the Cultural Landscape Foundation, whose founder Charles Birnbaum sued, alleging the blue paint coating is "altering the historic character" without proper authority.
- Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized the President's economic priorities on Wednesday, accusing Trump of promoting a costly pool makeover while families face higher grocery and health care costs.
- Renovations are expected to conclude before July 4, coinciding with the nation's 250th anniversary, though Trump has faced repeated criticism for inflating crowd figures and making hyperbolic comparisons at public events.
