Episode Details

The Lincoln Memorial’s reflecting pool, freshly repainted for $16 million, is now a mess—peeling “American flag blue” paint and rampant algae, with no real evidence of vandalism. The project was rushed, awarded via no-bid contract to a firm tied to a Trump resort, and even the algae cleanup cost $1.7 million. The paint turned green fast, and chunks are now flaking off, making the mess worse. Officials blame “vandals,” but it’s likely just people touching the water or paint. Drain and repaint? Yep. Taxpayers again.
