The paint on Washington's newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Thursday was peeling away from the bottom and into the algae-tinted water, less than two weeks after U.S. President Donald Trump announced the job's completion.

The Trump administration spent about $14.2 million on renovations to the Reflecting Pool, including painting it “American Flag Blue.”

Green algae reappeared in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool days after Trump's $13 million renovation, prompting questions about the project's effectiveness.
