Summary
Donald Trump's makeover of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was supposed to be a patriotic masterpiece. Instead, it's become a taxpayer-funded disaster, complete with bright green algae, peeling liner, and emergency chemical treatments. And somehow, the only person who ended up in handcuffs was former Olympian Davey Hearn after he says he briefly picked up a detached piece of the liner. Don breaks down the reflecting pool fiasco, the bizarre arrest, and why this may be the perfect metaphor for Trump's America. This episode is sponsored by FFRF.
