TL;DR

President Trump announced the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool will be coated with an industrial-grade pool surface in 'American flag blue' rather than replacing the granite, a plan he says will cost about $1.5 million and be completed in weeks, instead of a $301 million granite replacement that would take at least three years; he aims to have it ready before the July 4th anniversary.
