Trump hired a company called “Green Water Solutions” to paint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool “American flag blue.”

ABC News' Jonathan Karl reports from the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool where workers continue to battle algae – and the new paint job appears to be falling apart. The Department of Interior did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Pressed by CBS News’ @Ed O’Keefe on whether there is evidence vandals damaged the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, President Trump pointed to what he described as long cuts in the pool’s surface and claimed someone may have deliberately caused the recent algae outbreak. “I saw it, they cut it. They cut it very violently,” Trump said. “The same thing with the floor, they cut it. And then they lifted it, they pulled it, and that's what it is.” #news #trump #reflectingpool #washingtondc #lincolnme
