The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington has recently finished a significant renovation, but not without its fair share of headaches. President Trump showcased the finished results, which were marred by issues like peeling coatings and algae. With a final bill exceeding $16 million instead of the projected $1.8 million, concerns regarding maintenance and the overall quality of the work have sparked political controversy.
