Trump: Reflecting Pool will be drained after July 4; algae ‘criminally made’

President Trump said Sunday that the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool will be drained shortly after the country’s 250th anniversary celebrations wrap up, accusing criminals of both damaging the lining and creating algae.

“The Reflecting Pool is now in full use after suffering great damage from Criminal, Radical Left Vandals, people that truly hate our Country,” Trump said of the Reflecting Pool in a Truth Social post Sunday.

“It never worked properly until last week and, 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,” he added.

“In the meantime, it is working well, the criminally made algae is gone, and the grass, which was destroyed, is being replaced shortly.”
