WATCH: Trump announces project to build 'Trump promenade' at Lincoln Memorial - PBS NewsHour



Donald Trump derailed a White House event about “clean coal” to go on a rant about his beautification efforts in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, marking yet another moment where those efforts have distracted the president from more serious policy discussions.

A Thursday afternoon event billed as an announcement about a new investment in U.S. coal plants began with Trump immediately launching into a spiel for the assembled White House press about his efforts to overhaul the Lincoln Memorial, complete with a video showing water flowing into the newly-repainted Reflection Pool. Trump then shifted to his future plans: An idea for a “promenade” to extend down the other side of the building to the Potomac River.

“We’re doing something that just came up, we have a little breaking news here,” Trump teased. “We’re going to be doing a promenade at the Lincoln Memorial. They want to call it the Trump promenade.” - 06/05/2026.

help the people who need it, keep civil rights, voting righst, women rights intact, affordable housing, good paying jobs with benefit and a good retirement plan..................

shithole and comrades rather use and steal the taxpayer's money. There is no FEMA, and ICE have been instructed to create more fear mongering, and war maybe on the horizon.
