Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool

Joe Biden Left the Reflecting Pool Leaking 45,000 Gallons a Day and Trump Fixed It for $2 Million

Biden had four years to fix the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and handed Trump a landmark hemorrhaging water like a broken fire hydrant.

Now Trump has finished the job – and the left is furious he did it too fast and too cheap.

The Washington Post ran to a "color consultant" to tell America the new shade of blue would look "very dismal." Typical remark from a liberal.

The numbers tell the whole story. The Reflecting Pool was leaking 45,000 gallons of water every single day when Trump took office.

Expansion joints installed during the Obama era were draining 16 million gallons annually – costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars every year while nobody in the Biden White House lifted a finger.

Their answer to this disaster was Biden's proposal of  $301 million requiring three and a half years to complete...Trump did it for 0.66% of Biden's estimate.

With a $1 Billion Biden Maintenance Backlog, Trump Fixing the Reflecting Pool

Donald Trump and Doug Burgum Fixing the Absolutely Filthy Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Biden Left Behind

Biden let the pool between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument turn into a swamp.

Now Trump posted the proof – and he wants every American to see what four years of Democrat neglect actually looks like. The cleanup just started, and Biden can't hide from this one.

The National Mall draws 24 million visitors a year. Every one of them walked past that pool. Every one of them saw what Biden left behind – stagnant water, visible filth, a landmark that looked like it belonged in a city that had given up.

Biden's team had four years and a $1 billion maintenance backlog sitting on the National Mall – and cut deferred maintenance funding by $13 million in his final budget year anyway.

In November, Trump posted a video of workers finally beginning the work Biden never started, with Andrea Bocelli's "Time to Say Goodbye" playing over the footage.

A graffiti reading “86 47” was spray-painted in the empty Lincoln Memorial Pool on Friday, May 1, 2026, following the indictment of former FBI director James Comey over an image on social media that showed seashells laid out to spell “8647.”

Many believe that “86 47” denotes murdering President Donald Trump, though those critical of the current administration have disputed the claim. The U.S. Park Police are currently investigating the vandalism.
