The new paint job at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool appears to be peeling just two weeks after reopening, according to video footage from the Washington Examiner.
The latest blunder on the National Mall comes after the pool turned from the intended “American flag blue” to bright green due to algae blooms this week. The pool had been drained in April so that cleaning crews could scrub the bottom and then resurface it with an industrial-grade blue coating. President Donald Trump touted the project as it was being completed, even taking a short trip one night to watch the crews at work.
