President Donald Trumps plan to clean up the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool might be as effective as his promise to drain the swamp.
On Friday, The New York Times published a report that found the presidents renovation of the historic landmark ignores a major underlying issue that could make the whole project a costly waste of money: Theres no plan to fix its leaky pipes.
The crux of the issue seems to be that the body of water has been plagued with algae for years with passersby describing it as really sludgy, disgusting and smelling of wet dog to CNN in 2012.
In April, Trump announced a plan to make the pool great again by scrubbing and grouting its granite and then covering it with an American flag blue-hued waterproof coating, reminiscent of an actual swimming pool.

Dumbass doesn't know the difference between a swimming pool and a reflecting pool.
