Nothing Explains Trump’s Washington Quite Like the Reflecting Pool Scandal​

Among the approximately 1.776 billion scandals of this Trump administration, one has recently stood out to me: the ongoing boondoggle at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. What was supposed to be a minor maintenance project has somehow become one of the purest reflections of Trump-era governance, involving a no-bid contract, a golf-club manager from New Jersey, and the color “American Flag Blue.”

Much of this is known only because of the dogged investigative journalism from David A. Fahrenthold, who has spent years following the money around Donald Trump and his orbit for the New York Times. He has devoted a surprising amount of time and energy into relaying the minute engineering problems plaguing this shallow pool on the National Mall. Fahrenthold—famous for breaking the existence of Trump’s Access Hollywood tape, and for his Pulitzer Prize–winning reporting on Trump’s reputed charitable giving—agreed to talk to me about his slow-burn reporting on the pool and what it reveals.

"Go into any state that has targeted races, whether it's North Carolina, Maine, Ohio, Texas, … and ask them, 'Hey, do you think that we need a triumphant arch to be built on the Mall?' and they're going to look at you like you've just landed from Venus," he added.
One Republican operative agreed that the beautification projects are not being talked about outside of Washington but was largely supportive of the projects ahead of America's 250th anniversary celebrations.

It seems Trump's compulsive waffling about his War on Iran, and Trump spending $money in Washington DC instead of saving taxpayer's money at the gas pump tells a story Trump voters don't wish to hear.
