@40credits0: After weeks of boasting about restoring the "filthy" Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to its former glory, Trump hit a snag when the newly filled landmark immediately turned green. Just days after President Donald Trump's $14 million beautification project attempted to restore the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and turn it "American Flag Blue," the water is already blooming with bright green algae. One of the president's most talked-about pet projects in recent months, the pool — which stretches from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument along the National Mall — was drained and repainted over the last six weeks in an attempt to fix structural issues that caused chronic leaking and resurface the bottom and sides of the pool to Trump's chosen patriotic paint shade. When algae was spotted on the surface of the water just after the pool was refilled, an Interior Department spokesperson said it was "residual algae from the supply lines, which have been sitting dormant for eight weeks while construction has been taking place." "It’s part of the normal startup process," the spokesperson told CNN's Kit Maher. "We are removing the algae, and the nanobubblers will maintain the pool and keep it algae free." #maga #democrats #donaldtrump #washingtondc
