The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool began refilling this week after maintenance work was completed on the iconic Washington landmark. The pool had been drained for renovations that Trump had falsely claimed cost hundreds of millions of dollars under previous administrations.
National Park Service crews restored the pool’s infrastructure and water circulation systems during the project. The actual cost of the maintenance was a fraction of the figure Trump cited in public remarks.
The reflecting pool stretches between the Lincoln Memorial and the World War II Memorial on the National Mall. It is one of the most photographed sites in the nation’s capital.
Visitors will regain access to the full visual panorama of the mall once refilling is complete. Park officials said the work ensures the pool’s structural integrity for years to come.
