Over a month after the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovations began, the monument is still reflected in the water.

President Donald Trump claimed Saturday, without providing evidence, that vandals damaged the algae-plagued Reflecting Pool on the National Mall and that the water will need to be drained for repairs.

The shallow, sunny waters of the reflecting pool are an ideal incubator for algae growth in the summertime. Experts say the recent renovation may have helped accelerate it.

A White House spokesperson shared a video of cars crossing the newly painted pool on May 7, 2026.
