President Donald Trump, 79, is losing it over the media coverage of his renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as construction wraps up.
The president has been obsessed with the project as workers began refilling the pool on the National Mall this week, despite Trump facing a series of pressing issues, such as the ongoing war in Iran and Americans' struggles with high costs.
He's touted a bizarre poster of the pool that compared its size to skyscrapers, held up printout images of it inside the Oval Office at an unrelated event, and even had a staffer pull up a video of it on a laptop on his desk in front of a group of reporters on Thursday, to tout the "clean, beautiful water."
But on Friday, he melted down over not getting the media coverage he wanted for the project after rambling for weeks about painting it "American Flag Blue."
