A baby duck has been found dead at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool in Washington, DC, as the Trump administration's $14 million (£11.03 million) renovation of the landmark continues to draw scrutiny. Journalist and commentator Aaron Parnas reported the discovery in a Facebook reel that has since drawn widespread attention online, sharing a photo sent to him by a follower who visited the reflecting pool. 'A baby duck has now died at the reflecting pool,' Parnas told his audience in the video.
The death, as reported by Parnas, adds a new dimension to what has already become one of the more visible stumbles of the administration's effort to beautify Washington ahead of the nation's 250th anniversary. Parnas, citing a follower's visit, also claimed the situation was worse than it appeared and that the ducks would not swim in the pool at all.
