President Donald Trump gave an update on the condition of Washington, D.C., landmarks after he went on a Sunday morning tour, saying many of the structures have been “completely renovated and restored.”
In a rather lengthy post on Truth Social, the president touted his administration’s work on various statues, monuments and fountains in the nation’s capital, including the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, adding that many are now “nicer than the day they were built.”
“I just returned from a tour of various Statues, Monuments, Fountains and, most importantly, an old and run down Golf Course located throughout Washington, D.C., our Nation’s Capital,” Trump wrote in the post, which later teased his next project.
“Almost all of the Statues, Monuments, and Fountains have been completely renovated and restored, and are in, after suffering years of Graffiti, Abuse, and Vandalism, perfect shape. They are truly beautiful, even nicer than the day they were built,” Trump continued.

“The Reflecting Pool is now in full use after suffering great damage from Criminal, Radical Left Vandals, people that truly hate our Country,” he wrote, calling out those who “cut the lower surface of a very expensive and strong waterproof padding… and put their hands underneath the surface, and ripped it.”
He blasted the vandals who “cut and butchered a 350-foot-long strip” and inflicted “great damage to this beautiful piece of art that was, last week, 100% free of leaks, and any of the other problems it has had since its building in 1922.” The president revealed that after July 4, when the nation will celebrate its 250th birthday, the pool will again be drained “to treat the damage caused by these ‘animals,'” and that the “criminally made algae” is now gone, adding that the landmark “will again be in perfect shape.”
After updating on the refurbishment of Lafayette Park, opposite the front entrance of the White House, Trump noted the “dilapidated, worn out, and very dangerous and outdated Golf Course known as East Potomac Golf Links.”

He revealed that his Department of the Interior and golf course architect Tom Fazio, along with son Gavin, will undertake renovations to “build one of the Greatest Golf Courses anywhere in the World which, importantly, will also be made available to the Public.”
“When completed, this Course will have the ability to host Major Golf Tournaments, including The U.S. Open, The Ryder Cup, The PGA Championship, and other top PGA Tour events,” he explained, noting that the location has “unparalleled views” of D.C.
“The grass is largely dead, the greens are virtually unplayable, and the Course is in very poor general condition but, after many years of horrendous maintenance, and little money devoted to the process of upkeep, we have determined that this location can bring tremendous success and prestige back to Washington, D.C.,” Trump envisioned, announcing that work will begin on September 1st.
