TL;DR

The Daily Show's Josh Johnson debunks Trump’s claim that vandals damaged the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, offering a natural explanation for the pool’s green tint—an algae bloom fueled by shallow water and hot weather—while poking fun at social-media ‘pool experts’ and Trump’s past assertions; the piece notes renovation work using nanobubbler technology to combat algae, and, as of late June, the pool looked clearer though some algae remained at the corners amid hot conditions.
