For everyone saying “watch the video”- no.
I will not click anything going to truth social (or its archives).
I will not give Trump the traffic.
Traffic is only really a valuable thing to get when it drives either ad views, or boosts your reach on a platform.
The thing is, you can use an adblocker, and since Trump owns the platform, no amount of views will change the likelihood of people seeing his posts. At the same time, the traffic you could bring is more server hosting costs that need to be paid to serve you the content.
Regardless, here's the video without having to go to Truth Social. Also, fun fact, did you know the pool gets cleaned every year, and this isn't some revolutionary thing that Biden just refused to do? Crazy! Who would have known the man known for lying would deceive people into thinking Biden just neglected the reflecting pool? Shocking.
So, they're cleaning it.
Wow.
Wait, really? I figured this was yet another thing he was gonna demolish...
That’s likely.
Don't make assumptions. I'm guessing a metric ton of chlorine tablets dumped in one end.
If they have to announce they they’re cleaning it, that tells me it hasn’t been cleaned in almost a year now.
First - What's wrong with it that needs fixing?
Second - It's 102 to 103 years old, how is that Biden's fault?
Obviosly Biden was born and distracted the workers.
Nothing, it's a scheduled cleaning he just can't help but take credit for anything mildly positive while also politicizing it. Pardon a turkey? Talk shit? Parks department does a cleaning? Talk shit.
He doesn't understand unsealed marble shouldn't be cleaned often because it absorbs everything so well. Hell there's still a blood stain on the house stairs from when a dude got shot there.

What’s he going to do, pave it?
Or demolish the Lincoln Memorial, cause Lincoln was a race traitor, and build the Arc Du Trump, which everyone is asking for.
Gonna fill it with Jello, old people love jello
Salmon jello, if you’re going by old cookbooks.
Mmm... I love a good aspic.
Don't give him ideas.
Lincoln fought literal bears for sport and won, Trump fights gravity and dementia and is losing on both accounts.
I heard he also hunted vampires
Shouldn't talk that way about Melania.
Another here is admonishing us to "watch the video", which I, too, refuse to do, but, the video apparently gives no details. This is a short Newsweek article on the subject, other articles said the same as this:
President Donald Trump announced a new Washington, D.C., National Mall project on Wednesday, saying the Department of the Interior is working to "fix" the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
The video shows workers working around the pool, set to the backdrop of Andrea Bocelli’s “Time to Say Goodbye.”
In a post to Truth Social accompanied by a video, the president posted, "This is the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool before Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and I fix it. Study it hard because you won’t be seeing this Biden filth and incompetence much longer!"
When reached for comment, the Interior Department declined to provide any details about the project, while saying it is "committed to this effort."
So those saying to just watch the video are either trying to drive traffic to that cancer of a site, or they didn’t even watch it themselves.
Imagine bragging about doing regular maintenance that's gone undone and then blaming it on a president who hasn't been in office for 11 months.
That's definitely worse than pedophilia. Yet another artful swerve. /s
Out of all the things Trump has done, I draw the line at deferred maintenance.
