Jimmy Kimmel Mocks Trump over Lincoln Memorial Pool Turning Green
Kimmel said the $14 million project left the pool green within a week, as National Park Service crews used hydrogen peroxide to clean algae.
- On Tuesday, Jimmy Kimmel mocked President Donald Trump for a $14 million Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation that turned green with algae just one week after completion.
- Trump ordered the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall resurfaced and repainted "American flag blue" because he disliked its original appearance.
- Experts explain that the dark paint retains heat, fostering algae growth, while the White House in Washington describes the discoloration as "residual algae."
- National Park Service workers are cleaning the pool with hydrogen peroxide, a development Kimmel used to joke about Trump's promise to "drain the swamp."
- Kimmel concluded by sarcastically suggesting Trump might move Patrick Day to July to justify the green water, calling it one of his "dumb and crazy" problems.
