"Trump described the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as a 'dirty, disgusting place,' noting it was littered with garbage and 'leaked like a sieve.'"
"The renovation will cost between $1.5 million and $2 million, take two weeks, and is expected to last for 40 or 50 years."
"Trump initially envisioned a turquoise topping for the pool but was convinced by the contractor to choose 'American flag blue' instead."
Renovations on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool have begun, initiated by President Trump after a friend's complaint about its condition. Trump described the pool as 'dirty' and 'disgusting,' with significant leaks. He opted for a cost-effective renovation strategy, engaging contractors he knew, resulting in a budget of $1.5 to $2 million and a two-week timeline. The new topping will be 'American flag blue,' a change from Trump's initial idea of turquoise. The renovation aims to enhance the monument's beauty and longevity.
