Trump Completes National Mall Reflecting Pool Renovation with New Blue Coating
President Donald Trump announced a major renovation project for the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to address what he described as its "filthy" condition. The project included fixing leaks and water quality issues by applying a distinct American flag blue coating to the pool surface. In July 2026, Trump shared social media updates touting the crystal clear water at the site following the completion of the refurbishment. The makeover was designed to clean the historic landmark and provide it with a flashy new color as part of a broader effort to improve the National Mall.
