US EditionTrump Suggests He and Burgum Will ‘Fix’ Lincoln Reflecting Pool

- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum would 'fix' the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and announced a National Mall makeover.
- The Reflecting Pool, a century-old landmark, was constructed in 1923 to reflect the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial, with a major 2010–2012 overhaul stabilizing its basin and modernizing water systems.
- The dramatized video shows green water being pumped out of the pool set to Andrea Bocelli's `Time to Say Goodbye`, ending with a 'Make D.C. Beautiful Again' banner and the U.S. Department of the Interior logo being wiped clean.
- Trump wrote that, `Study it hard because you won't be seeing this Biden filth and incompetence much longer!' and portrayed the cleanup as a symbol of decline under former President Joe Biden and Democratic leadership of Washington, D.C.
- Media outlets reported that President Donald Trump shared the video and plans to change the site, linking the message to the U.S. Department of the Interior logo and continuing his pattern of White House alterations.
