U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday that he plans to cover the Lincoln Memorials reflecting pool in "American flag blue," marking the latest addition to his efforts to revamp several government buildings and monuments. Trump, in a video shared on Truth Social on Thursday, called the more than 100-year-old monument, which he noted was the site of Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech, "filthy dirty" and said it "leaked like a sieve." The 2,000-foot-long structure is currently empty as it undergoes cleaning for the America 250 celebrations.
Much of the work has already been done, according to the president, who said, "We scrubbed the surface of the existing granite that's been there since 1922. We then grouted all of the granite, fixed it up." "It took about two weeks, and now we have a nice, clean surface on which we're putting an industrial-grade swimming pool topping,"
