Trump & Burgum Clean Lincoln Memorial Pool

0:00It's April 2, I'm Cory with the Story. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, today, driven by AI and built for the culture. President Trump fired off a social media post-blasting former President Biden for letting the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool turn into a mess. He said Biden's team dropped the ball on basic upkeep, so now Trump's jumping in to get it fixed himself. On March 31, Trump laid out the plan, teaming up with Interior Secretary Doug Burgham to scrub and restore the pool stretching from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument. Burgham chimed in quick on X, praising Trump for getting stuff done, and vowing to make Washington DC safer and prettier. That pool sees heavy foot traffic all year, pulling in bird droppings, bacteria, pollen, and junk that demands a full annual deep clean. Earlier this February, 2025, National Park Service folks drained it and hit it with a super scrubber, clearing out trash, algae, and goose poop built up over 12 months.
