The MAGAfication of the nations capital is not slowing down.The National Mall is due for a MAGA makeover.
President Donald Trump, 79, said Wednesday that the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial has become overrun by filth, so he is stepping in to transform the space.
This is the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool before Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and I fix it, Trump posted to Truth Social, along with a short clip. Study it hard because you wont be seeing this Biden filth and incompetence much longer!
Time to Say Goodbye by Andrea Bocelli played in the background of the clip.
The reflecting pool was not installed by former President Joe Biden. It was completed in 1923 and designed to reflect either the Washington Monument or the then-newly constructed Lincoln Memorial, depending on how one looks at it.
Aerial photos of the pool taken earlier this month show a significant amount of algae on its bottom, which was highlighted in the clip Trump shared on Truth Social.

He'll probably line it with gold and install a bunch of horrible faux-Baroque fountains adorned with LED lights that spell out his name.

There is a world of difference between the two cities. I lived 26 years in Reno and visited Las Vegas a couple of times.
Not at all the same.
