1:58Now PlayingJim Acosta filed a live report from the National Mall, where the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool — freshly renovated at a cost of more than $14 million — has turned a bright green color due to algae blooms that experts warned would result from painting the basin a dark blue. Workers were on-site attempting to vacuum out the algae as Acosta reported, just days after the project was declared finished.
Acosta says the episode is a vivid reminder of a president "who doesn't give a damn about facts," and draws a broader parallel to Trump's pattern of vanity projects gone wrong across Washington, D.C.
