This was buried, but this happened right after the non-compete contractor coated the pool. I think it was the day after. Trump decided to take his motorcade through it.
President Donald Trump took an unannounced trip to the Lincoln Memorial to see the Reflecting Pool after he had it coated in a color he calls “American flag blue.” He did more than just see it — the president was driven across the new coating before he got out of his SUV to make a statement. The new blue coating will hide the pool’s gray stone, a color Trump said was “never good.” The project cost nearly $2 million, he said.
I remember that. And now, as I did then, I wonder WTF was he even trying to accomplish or say. Driving on it seems disrespectful to it. At least it’s not like they drove on the tomb of the unknown soldier, but y’know… it still feels just wrong.
What I don’t get is why every single story doesn’t mention this and have pictures/videos of it above the fold, if not in the headline.
I mean, clearly, this maladminstration was proud of this performative bullshit, so they should not complain if the “liberal media” reiterates, on every single mention of this debacle of his, that he drove on the fucking thing?
That’s why I post it every chance I get. I remembered the story go by and had to make my own gif of him doing it. It was really hard to find a video mentioning it too. Seriously, share this far and wide. Trump did the damage to the pool.
