The Reflecting Pool Farce: Trump's War on Reality The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington has become a symbol of Donald Trump's affinity for spectacle over substance, and his willingness to warp reality to suit his whims.
A recent court filing by federal prosecutors has shed light on the true cause of the pool's peeling lining, but Trump is disputing the findings.
According to the Justice Department, the installation process was rushed and flawed, leading to repeated failures of the lining during its installation.
