Green Slime Overshadows Trump's Reflecting Pool Renovation

New photos show the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is heavily green with algae despite Trump’s multi‑million renovation, as fencing surrounds the site ahead of the July 4 deadline. Trump blames critics and vandals, calling them “Radical Left SCUM,” while experts say heat and a darker coat from renovations helped the bloom. Hydrogen peroxide treatments and other tech have yet to fully resolve the problem, and questions linger about vandalism claims, with officials reporting few arrests while the pool remains closed to visitors.
