President Donald Trump went on a Truth Social blitz about the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Sunday and Monday, portraying his signature renovation project as nearly complete, even as costs have ballooned by millions of dollars and officials still need to drain the pool to fix cracks in its newly redone surface.
The images included happy-looking visitors standing around the pool, National Guard troopers staring into the water, and a side-by-side image comparing the Republican’s renovation to the Obama administration’s job. Both presidents have battled algae blooms at the pool.
