Trump: Reflecting Pool will be drained after July 4; algae 'criminally made'

President Donald Trump announced plans to drain the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool after Independence Day celebrations, blaming 'Criminal, Radical Left Vandals' for damaging the pool's lining and causing an algae problem. He stated that the pool had been renovated earlier this year with a new blue lining and nanobubblers to prevent algae but that the improvements did not last. Trump accused individuals of cutting the pool's lining with a sharp object and suggested the algae was 'criminally made.' He also mentioned that the damaged grass around the pool would soon be replaced. Additionally, Trump criticized the East Potomac Golf Links as 'dilapidated' and promised to build a new, world-class golf course on the site.
