President Donald Trump on Friday fumed over the media’s coverage of his renovation of the Reflecting Pool between the Lincoln Memorial and World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.”The Great Reflecting Pool, that stretches between The Lincoln Memorial and The Washington Monument, just opened to ‘rave reviews’ but, maliciously or not, some say, like The Washington Post, it was a ‘paint job.’ This was not a paint job,” he posted on Truth Social.
“This was highly sophisticated material, industrial strength, that could last for 100 years, applied by very talented people, many of whom came from the Great State of Oklahoma, where I won 77 out of 77 Counties, THREE TIMES, the only President to ever do so,” he added. “The material is thick, strong, flexible, and has a natural, beautiful color, the dark blue of the American Flag!”
Trump renovated the reflecting pool as part of his plans to overhaul and beautify the nation’s capital. He has also pursued the construction of a White House ballroom, a triumphal arch, and a pedestrian promenade linking the Lincoln Memorial to the Patomac River.
Other projects have included the restoration of fountains, the overhaul of Union Station, and the removal of graffiti across the city.
