The Trump administration has hit out at former President Obama after the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool water turned green, despite a much-touted $14 million renovation.
Work on the pool was completed last week, after President Donald Trump vowed to paint the space an “American flag blue.

In response, a spokesperson for the Department of the Interior took a swipe at the Obama administration in a statement obtained by The New York Post.

Trump touted the revamped reflecting pool in a Truth Social post Monday, as part of “tribute to America” celebrations planned for July 4. »
