Trump's Motorcade Drains Reflecting Pool to Inspect Obama-Era '$38M Disaster Fix' Project
President Donald Trump visited the National Mall and drove his motorcade through the drained Reflecting Pool to inspect a restoration project he claims corrects a 'disaster' left by Obama's spending of $38M on its previous fix.
President Donald Trump visited the National Mall on Thursday and took his motorcade through the drained Reflecting Pool to inspect a restoration project he described as correcting a 'disaster' left by the Obama administration's $38M fix. The project involves refilling the pool and restoring its natural water flow. Trump claimed the previous restoration was an unnecessary expense that wasted taxpayer money. The president's visit comes after the pool has been drained since 2018 to repair underlying infrastructure issues.
