Trump Says 'Obama And Biden Spent More Than 100 Million Dollars' On Failed Reflecting Pool Fix, Vows Chea
Social media posts compared the projects as the Trump administration’s repair budget rose to $13.1 million, while Snopes said the work was not finished.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump promoted renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, targeting completion before July 4. Social media users compared the $13.1 million project to the $35.3 million Obama-era reconstruction.
- The Obama-era reconstruction, completed in 2012, cost $35.3 million addressing severe structural failures and annual leaks of 16 million gallons. These repairs were significantly more extensive than the current project's focus.
- Virginia-Based Atlantic Industrial Coatings received a no-bid contract for the $13.1 million renovation. The Cultural Landscape Foundation filed a lawsuit Monday against the Interior Department, alleging the basin's 'American Flag Blue' paint violates federal design standards.
- Interior Secretary Doug Burgum defended the bidding process before the House Committee on Natural Resources this week. Trump claimed he had never used Atlantic Industrial Coatings, stating the Interior Department handled contract selection independently.
- Comparing the two projects is misleading because the earlier work involved major structural repairs, while the current effort focuses on sealing and filtration. Trump's project budget has already risen to $13.1 million.
