Interior Secretary Doug Burgum lashed out at claims that the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial was already leaking as the Trump administration scrambled to finish the $13.1 million renovations in time for the Fourth of July.
The massive pool spanning more than 2,000 feet has had leaks for decades. President Donald Trump has vowed to fix it while bragging about other pools hes built.
But according to documents reviewed by the New York Times, the contractors effort to seal the gaps failed in two trials earlier this month, leaving the Park Service and the company rushing to come up with a fix.
The expansion joints installed under Obama, who wasted millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars, have catastrophically failed, leaking 16 MILLION GALLONS of water per YEAR and costing hard-working taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars, he continued.

(10,776 posts)We constantly hear Trump and his ass-kissers blame Obama and/or Biden for practically everything, but rarely do we hear any pushback from either of them. Dem congresscritters occasionally respond, but thats not the same as hearing Obama or Biden themselves. If you leave spurious charges uncontested, people start to believe the lies.

(40,197 posts)To quote Trump then not verify if it's true or not
Sure Trump lies constantly but leaving it there without response gives it credibility
