In May, Trump’s motorcade drove directly across the drained Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, ostensibly to inspect a new “American flag blue” coating. (More of a photo op, actually.)
Now, experts and media reports are investigating whether the 20,000-pound armored vehicles damaged the uncured, wet pool liner before it fully set.

Following the drive-through and the refilling of the pool, parts of the new blue polyurea coating had already begun to peel and float to the surface.
