Tourists in Washington, D.C. are taking special pains to make sure a visit to the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial is on their list.
The ongoing saga of the Reflecting Pool's Trump-driven facelift has resulted in a murky green pool with paint lifting off the bottom in large sheets, revealing the bare concrete underneath.
MAGA conspiracy theorists have claimed the damage is due to "leftists" sabotaging the landmark's Trump makeover, with theories ranging from late-night fertilizer dumps to broad daylight paint stripping.
But visitors have reported seeing chunks of the paint peeling off and rising to the surface without any help from organized gangs of Trump-hating boogeymen. The Washington Post reported that a worker approached to fish out one such sheet of paint on Thursday, telling the newspaper's photographer not to take pictures of it.
