American flag blue? Algae turns Trump’s reflecting pool swamp green instead

This natural phenomenon is interfering with a beautification effort championed by former President Donald Trump. The pool, a significant site for historical events like Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, now presents an unintended color, prompting a tourist's sarcastic remark about using filters.
