Summary
President Trump opens with the big reveal: the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is finished, filled, and flowing after a century of leaks. From there it is a full throttle press event covering the $700 million clean, beautiful coal investment invoking the Defense Production Act to protect 14 plants, 42 mines, and build two new plants. Trump also announces the Lincoln Memorial Promenade and the Great Triumphal Arc as brand new infrastructure projects. The Save America Act gets a full rundown covering voter ID, proof of citizenship, and no men in women's sports. On Iran, Trump says the nuclear sites are entombed under Space Force surveillance and the Strait of Hormuz mine clearing is underway. The stock market hits an all-time high for the 73rd time. Oh, and the Knicks won Game 1.
