President Donald Trump said the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool will be drained after the July 4 celebrations for repairs, while also announcing plans to redevelop Washington, D.C.’s East Potomac Golf Links into a championship-caliber public course.
Trump Announces Reflecting Pool Repairs
On Sunday, in a Truth Social post, Trump said he toured several monuments, fountains and public spaces across the nation’s capital, claiming many had been restored after years of vandalism and neglect.
“The Reflecting Pool is now in full use after suffering great damage from Criminal, Radical Left Vandals, people that truly hate our Country,” Trump wrote.
He alleged vandals cut and tore the pool’s waterproof liner, adding, “Right after July 4th, when we will drain the water to treat the damage caused by these ‘animals,’ it will again be in perfect shape.”
