Reflecting Pool Contractor Thrown Off By Trump’s Request To Have Pool Reflect His Face At All Times
Washington – A Virginia contractor hired by the Interior Department to renovate the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool at President Trump’s request was thrown off Monday when a representative of President Trump revealed to him the ultimate plan for the pool’s renovation involves it reflecting President Trump’s face at all times.
Virginia All-Star Contracting’s owner, Hal Hamber said he told Mr. Trump’s representative, “It’s impossible, is the thing.” The representative, whose identity Mr. Hamber did not reveal, said, “Just get it done,” according to Mr. Hamber.
The Pool’s renovation has been hounded by delays and cost overruns, to the point where staff members at the Interior Department have expressed concerns. According to President Trump, everything is on schedule and under budget, and the Pool will look absolutely “fantastic” when the renovations are completed.
“We’re going to have the best reflecting pool in the WORLD!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, his social media app. “And you-know-who’s face will be the MAIN ATTRACTION!”
