## Resource

The Lincoln Memorial’s reflecting pool just got a $14.2 million makeover with a bold American flag blue hue, courtesy of a Trump resort contractor—raising eyebrows over the no-bid contract, ballooning costs, and mixed public reactions. While some praise its beauty, others say it barely looks different. Officials blame algae and promise a new filtration system, while the contractor boasts a century-long durable finish. This splashy project is sparking serious debate. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
