Op-ed | Reflections on Trump’s Reflecting Pool fiasco
President Donald Trump's renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, involving $1.5 million in initial costs and later $16 million in repairs, faced issues with peeling materials and algae. Trump blamed vandals after a strip of paint was removed by David Hearn, while U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro supported his claims despite her history of controversial conduct and Fox News affiliations.
