Trump Forced to Admit His ‘Beautiful’ Project Turned Into a Gross Horror
Andrew Harnik / Getty ImagesEven President Donald Trump admits that his pet project to “restore” the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has failed miserably.In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump commented on the sad state of the Reflecting Pool after he ordered a hasty 14 million project to paint it “American Flag Blue.”“Work will begin immediately on fixing the seriously vandalized Reflecting Pool. I just inspected it, and could only say to myself, and those gathered around me, WOW, who would do such a thing?” the president, 80, wrote. “SICK, DERANGED PEOPLE! We will fix it?”Read more at The Daily Beast.

Whoopi Goldberg turns the tables on Donald Trump
The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg mocked President Donald Trump's threat of 10-year prison sentences for those responsible for damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Trump claimed vandals illegally placed chemicals in the water and created a 300-foot gash, subsequently arresting five people. Goldberg laughed while responding, sarcastically, suggesting Trump should face the prison time himself. She argued, It seems to me, that had he not messed with the pool, it would still be a reflecting pool instead of a liquid jungle.Questioning whether evidence supported the vandalism claims, Goldberg proposed the country sue Trump for proceeding without permission and sue the workers who carried out the renovation. She characterized the situation as wasteful government spending, suggesting someone should hold Trump accountable for the failed project, similar to suing a contractor for poor work on a private residence.Watch the video below.

Reflecting Pool Starts To Stink After Trump Orders It Drained: DC Photographer
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has a new problem: it's starting to smell. Washington, D.C., freelance photographer Joe Flood posted a photo on X on Monday of the pool being actively drained. As they drain it, the Reflecting Pool is starting to smell, he wrote. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social on Saturday that the pool would probably be forced to release and drain much of the water in order to do the necessary repairs. The drain order came after a 14 million no-bid renovation cratered almost immediately. Workers painted the pool bottom American flag blue — then algae bloomed within days, turning the water green and sending the new paint peeling off in strips. Trump blamed unnamed vandals, without offering evidence. United States Park Police separately arrested David Carter Hearn, 67, a three-time Olympic canoeist who says he stopped at the site out of curiosity and reached down to touch a piece of peeling paint. He was charged with misdemeanor destruction of government property. read more
