Blue Reflecting Pool marks Trump's latest renovation move
TL;DR Summary
President Donald Trump made an unannounced visit to the Lincoln Memorial to inspect a new blue coating on the Reflecting Pool, a roughly $2 million renovation intended to hide the gray stone. He was driven across the pool, praised the color as patriotic, and hinted at more plans for the memorial and related buildings, while critics argue the focus on prestige projects diverts attention from voters' concerns.
