Trump's reflecting pool makeover goes badly wrong
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC has suffered a failed renovation after President Donald Trump ordered it painted American flag blue for the nation's 250th birthday. The $14 million project, which was not put out to tender, has resulted in peeling paint and an algae bloom, prompting increased security as the administration claims vandals are responsible for the damage. The pool will be drained again for repairs at an undisclosed cost.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
