“For years, the Reflecting Pool sat neglected, plagued with algae and leaking millions of gallons of water. “It’s another example of President Trump restoring our nation’s capital for the American people.” He did it 20 years ago,” Trump said, referring to his Washington, D.C. golf club in Virginia. Interior spokeswoman Katie Martin said that Burgum “never misled the president and was very clear in all of his comments on the pool.” “President Donald J. Trump is an expert builder who fixed the Reflecting Pool permanently before deranged people vandalized it,” Martin said.
