Summary
President Trump initiates a controversial paint job for the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, bypassing a planned three-year, $300 million overhaul. The project, estimated at $1.5-2 million, is awarded to a favored vendor through an emergency loophole, sparking criticism. Trump also plans to add a 250-foot victory arch and potentially include his name on other DC landmarks, marking the beginning of his DC transformation agenda.
