The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool's "American flag blue" liner, a project championed by Donald Trump, has faded to a gray hue shortly after its completion. The renovation, which ballooned from an estimated $1.5 million to over $16 million, has been plagued by issues including algae blooms and peeling paint, with Trump blaming vandals. Critics, however, point to shoddy repair work, and a former Olympic canoeist, David Hearn, has pleaded not guilty to charges of vandalism, asserting he was scapegoated for the poor quality of the refurbishment.
