The Reflecting Pool is a large rectangular pool on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., situated between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. Known as one of the most iconic American landmarks and a symbol of national identity. Recently, the site sustained vandalism requiring emergency repairs, with arrests made and restoration completed ahead of Independence Day. Last updated 5 days ago
Trump: "The Reflecting Pool looks fantastic. I just got pictures of it, it's beautiful -but somebody went in with a knife and cut [the sealant]... I understand 5 or 6 people are arrested... and I hear they have 6 people under investigation."
"Work will begin immediately on fixing the seriously vandalized Reflecting Pool. I just inspected it, and could only say to myself, and those gathered around me, WOW, who would do such a thing? SICK, DERANGED PEOPLE! We will fix it? President DJT".

U.S. President Donald Trump:
"Many additional people have been arrested having to do with the disgraceful Vandalism of our beautiful Reflecting Pool. It hasn’t looked or worked like this since 1922, when it was originally built, but even then, it leaked badly, and didn’t work. Ours worked perfectly, including the mirror like finish, perfectly reflecting the two Great Monuments, which it never had before! What these terrible Vandals have done is a true affront to both Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and should be dealt with accordingly. We met with contractors today, will probably be forced to release and drain much of the water in order to do the necessary repairs, but will have them done as quickly as possible. What they have damaged does not even include the earlier killing of a large amount of grass which was, by far, the least of it. They took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, competence, and money to build and complete. They also poured corrosive and destructive chemicals into the Pool. The Reflecting Pool was never so beautiful as it was just one week ago, even going back to 1922 when it opened. We are very proud of what we have done with this magnificent structure, and we will get it repaired, quickly, to an equal level of Beauty. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP".
President Trump: “The United States Park Police have arrested multiple individuals for vandalizing our Nations magnificent Reflecting Pool. Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail! Work will begin immediately on its repair. President DJT”

Trump: “Sample test of the Reflecting Pool with the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument in the background — at each end of the Pool — which is, by the way, the World’s longest. Looking really good! Should be completed before the Fourth of July, our target date. Have substantially upgraded construction materials, including surface qualities, sandblasting granite, and exterior stone and walkways. I’ve made this a much larger job than originally contemplated for purposes of Beauty, and a much longer life. Also, went to a higher quality sealer with more reflectivity. Check it out before the Opening — It’s a very exciting project! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
