Trump Humiliated by Intrusion in Newly Renovated Reflecting Pool [View all]
The newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which President Donald Trump has been hyping up, already has an unwanted guest.
The pool, which was filled on Tuesday after weeks of fast-tracked work, contained "residual algae" just 24 hours later, CNN has reported. A worker was seen scraping the substance from the bottom of the pool on Wednesday.

The Department of the Interior said the presence of the algae was normal.
"What you are seeing is residual algae from the supply lines, which have been sitting dormant for eight weeks while construction has been taking place. It's part of the normal startup process. We are removing the algae, and the nanobubblers will maintain the pool and keep it algae-free," a spokesperson told the Daily Beast. "President Donald J. Trump is an expert builder who has fixed the Reflecting Pool for good unlike the failed and extremely costly attempt by Obama and Biden."
