For everyone saying “watch the video”- no.
I will not click anything going to truth social (or its archives).
I will not give Trump the traffic.
Traffic is only really a valuable thing to get when it drives either ad views, or boosts your reach on a platform.
The thing is, you can use an adblocker, and since Trump owns the platform, no amount of views will change the likelihood of people seeing his posts. At the same time, the traffic you could bring is more server hosting costs that need to be paid to serve you the content.
Regardless, here’s the video without having to go to Truth Social. Also, fun fact, did you know the pool gets cleaned every year, and this isn’t some revolutionary thing that Biden just refused to do? Crazy! Who would have known the man known for lying would deceive people into thinking Biden just neglected the reflecting pool? Shocking.
First - What’s wrong with it that needs fixing?
Second - It’s 102 to 103 years old, how is that Biden’s fault?
Nothing, it’s a scheduled cleaning he just can’t help but take credit for anything mildly positive while also politicizing it. Pardon a turkey? Talk shit? Parks department does a cleaning? Talk shit.
He doesn’t understand unsealed marble shouldn’t be cleaned often because it absorbs everything so well. Hell there’s still a blood stain on the house stairs from when a dude got shot there.

Obviosly Biden was born and distracted the workers.
So, they’re cleaning it.
Wow.
Wait, really? I figured this was yet another thing he was gonna demolish…
That’s likely.
Watch the video that OP linked…
There’s no way in hell I’m going to that shit hole site.
Then don’t comment since you have no idea what the post is about.
Pretty sure this is “political memes”, and I’m pretty sure memes are supposed to be self contained.
We shouldn’t have to give Trump add revenue to understand it.
If you watch the video, it’s probably nothing like the meme would have one assume. Assume away! (just like conservatives with liberal memes…)
And I’m hardly concerned with watching a video once every two months on a platform that’s losing 10’s of millions a quarter. If anything, watching while not logged in only costs Truth Social.
Probably nothing? You mean you didn’t watch the video?
I can’t, for whatever reason the codec Truth Social uses does not work with my phone.
If they have to announce they they’re cleaning it, that tells me it hasn’t been cleaned in almost a year now.
Don’t make assumptions. I’m guessing a metric ton of chlorine tablets dumped in one end.
Imagine bragging about doing regular maintenance that’s gone undone and then blaming it on a president who hasn’t been in office for 11 months.
Lincoln fought literal bears for sport and won, Trump fights gravity and dementia and is losing on both accounts.
I heard he also hunted vampires
Shouldn’t talk that way about Melania.
What’s he going to do, pave it?
Or demolish the Lincoln Memorial, cause Lincoln was a race traitor, and build the Arc Du Trump, which everyone is asking for.
Gonna fill it with Jello, old people love jello
Salmon jello, if you’re going by old cookbooks.
Mmm… I love a good aspic.
Don’t give him ideas.
The video in OP, if you watched it, explains
I would, but I’m not giving that site clicks
This is 2025. I’m no longer expected to read past the initial headline.
(Seriously, I’ll read, but I can’t do vid at work.)
Tldw it shows them cleaning it
Another here is admonishing us to “watch the video”, which I, too, refuse to do, but, the video apparently gives no details. This is a short Newsweek article on the subject, other articles said the same as this:
President Donald Trump announced a new Washington, D.C., National Mall project on Wednesday, saying the Department of the Interior is working to “fix” the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
The video shows workers working around the pool, set to the backdrop of Andrea Bocelli’s “Time to Say Goodbye.”
In 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 won’t 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.”
So those saying to just watch the video are either trying to drive traffic to that cancer of a site, or they didn’t even watch it themselves.
That’s definitely worse than pedophilia. Yet another artful swerve. /s
Out of all the things Trump has done, I draw the line at deferred maintenance.
