Episode Details

Trump’s second term has ignited a whirlwind of ambitious — and wildly controversial — projects in Washington, sparking lawsuits, public outrage, and courtroom battles. The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, promised in a week for $1.5 million, ballooned to $14.7 million and turned green within days, prompting accusations of sabotage. Meanwhile, demolition of the White House East Wing for a $9,000-square-foot ballroom stalled after the National Trust sued, demanding congressional approval. A towering “Arc de Trump” triumphal arch, budgeted at $15 million with potential costs soaring to $100 million, faces legal pushback from veterans and historians. And at the Kennedy Center, a failed attempt to rename the venue was blocked by federal court — only Congress can change its title — though the administration quietly created a new presidential endowment to honor its legacy.
