Trump Reiterates 'Vandals' Claim as Reflecting Pool Gets Drained Again (Photos) The recent draining of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has once again sparked controversy, with President Donald Trump reiterating his claim that vandals were responsible for slashing the pool floor.
However, this assertion remains unsubstantiated and contradicts the official explanation provided by park officials.
According to reports, the latest round of repairs was necessitated by peeling paint and algae blooms on the pool's surface.
