The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, recently renovated at a cost of $14 million, has turned green once again due to a resurfacing algae bloom. Efforts by the Trump administration, including the use of hydrogen peroxide and chlorine bleach, have failed to maintain the intended ‘American flag blue’ color. Late-night hosts and commentators have humorously criticized the situation, dubbing it a botched vanity project and emphasizing the disconnect between promised improvements and current realities. Despite ongoing battles against the algae by the National Park Service, the water remains discolored, leading to jokes and serious discussions about the effectiveness of the renovations.
