Summary
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool’s $16.4 million paint job is now a scandal—President Trump claims vandals slashed it with a box cutter, but evidence points to 14 arrests, including a three-time Olympian who just touched peeling paint. The renovation, initially promised at $2 million and awarded via no-bid contract, quickly spiraled: algae appeared (blamed on fertilizer by Trump, but scientists say it’s natural), and now the pool’s got a stench—so bad, someone posted a draining pic online calling it out.
