Trump says Reflecting Pool to be completed ‘today’

President Trump said renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool were completed on Wednesday after being cleaned and re-painted “American flag blue.”

“Excitingly, the final coat of protection will be completed on the Reflecting Pool that sits between The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial, at 4 P.M., today,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. 

“The water will start flowing, shortly thereafter,” he added. 

The president’s reflecting pool project cost $13.1 million, funded in part by the National Park Service’s visitation fee at 80 grounds nationwide.

The renovation project has received pushback from the Cultural Landscape........
