@apnews: National Guard members and U.S. Park Police patrolled the deck around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Monday as President Donald Trump's administration faces a self-imposed deadline to fix a botched renovation before the nation's 250th anniversary celebration. The patrols came two days after Trump said authorities had made “multiple arrests” of people he insisted were responsible for damage to the peeling coating after an algae bloom occurred. The liner was installed as part of his $14 million-plus project.

“290’.” “350’.” “It will cost $1.8 million and be completed in a week.” It cost $14 million and is a monster failure.

They have no proof. The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and the surrounding National Mall are very secured areas monitored by 24/7/365 surveillance cameras in all directions.
