Trump is trapped in a lake of $14.7 million worth of seaweed.

The article discusses former U.S. President Donald Trump's controversial $14.7 million renovation project of the Reflecting Pool at Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., which has since become overrun with algae and dead fish. Trump initially claimed the project would cost only $2 million and repeatedly highlighted it as an example of his effectiveness compared to previous administrations. However, the pool now appears worse than before, with significant issues like green water and algae growth. The article critiques Trump's handling of the situation, noting his attempts to shift blame onto vandalism while downplaying the failure of the project. Officials had previously attributed the problem to leftover algae from inactive pipes and later proposed using nanobubbles to eliminate the algae, but this did not work. Eventually, hydrogen peroxide was used, leading to further environmental damage.
