Summary
President Donald Trump plans to drain the Lincoln Memorial's Reflecting Pool again after a $14 million renovation project went wrong. The no-bid contract was awarded to a designer of a pool at one of Trump's clubs. The bottom was spray-painted with reflective aqua-blue paint that is now peeling, and Trump blames vandalism for the algae and deterioration issues.
