- American flag blue? Algae turns Trump’s reflecting pool swamp green instead
President Donald Trump's project to repaint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool blue like the US flag was undermined by algae, turning the water swamp green. A tourist from China noted the algae in photos and planned to use a filter to hide it. The issue emerged shortly after the pool's repainting project was completed.
