During algae remediation after a $14 million renovation praised by Trump, a sheet of the Reflecting Pool’s blue surface peeled away and floated in the water, highlighting ongoing maintenance challenges at a landmark site.
President Donald Trump had his motorcade drive across the Reflecting Pool to inspect a blue coating he ordered, describing it as 'American flag blue' and noting the project cost nearly $2 million. He also floated plans to work on the Lincoln Memorial and to paint the nearby Eisenhower Executive Office Building white, part of broader renovations that supporters frame as beautification while critics warn about spending.
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.
