8:44Now PlayingTrump spent weeks bragging about the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation, only for the $14.2 million taxpayer-funded makeover to turn green almost immediately after it was refilled. Down the road, crews hid behind a giant tarp while removing Trump’s illegal nameplate from the Kennedy Center, leaving America’s premier arts center looking like a covered-up crime scene. Now Trump is trying to drown out the algae, the tarp, and the humiliation with a July 4th “TRUMP RALLY” for America’s 250th birthday. Ring of Fire's Josh G. explains.
