Showing Original Post only (View all)SHitler is now planning to DESTROY the Lincoln Mem Reflecting Pool - call it "Biden Filth" [View all]
https://www.newsweek.com/trump-reveals-plan-fix-lincoln-reflecting-pool-11115298In a post to Truth Social accompanied by a video, the president posted, "This is the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool before Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and I fix it. Study it hard because you wont be seeing this Biden filth and incompetence much longer!"
When reached for comment, the Interior Department declined to provide any details about the project, while saying it is "committed to this effort."
Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool: What to Know
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, one of the most recognizable landmarks on the National Mall, was completed in 1923 as part of architect Henry Bacons design for the memorial complex honoring President Abraham Lincoln. Stretching nearly 2,000 feet between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, the long, shallow pool was intended to create a dramatic visual corridor that mirrored two of the capitals most significant monuments. Over the decades, it has become a gathering place for major national events, including the 1963 March on Washington, where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his I Have a Dream speech.
The pool has undergone multiple renovations, including a major reconstruction completed in 2012 to modernize its aging infrastructure. The project added a new filtration system and replaced the pools original dirt-and-concrete basin, which frequently leaked and had long struggled with water quality problems. Despite periodic closures for maintenance, the Reflecting Pool remains one of Washingtons most visited and photographed sites, symbolizing national reflection and serving as a backdrop for demonstrations, celebrations and public life on the Mall.

He can only remember a few things now. Next, he'll be slinging the N-word like a 95-yo nursing home patient.

I suspect this is Stephen Miller's idea. He wants to obliterate any memorial to the end of slavery.
