Trump Declares Renovation of Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Complete

Donald Trump announced the completion of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation, with water filling expected by Sunday.
The project cost has ballooned to at least $14.8 million, far exceeding Trump's initial estimate of $2 million.
Critics argue Trump is prioritizing personal projects over pressing voter issues ahead of the November elections.
A lawsuit from a nonprofit seeks to halt the project, claiming the new color resembles a theme park.
