唐纳德·特朗普总统周四造访国家广场，乘坐自己的车队驶入抽干水的倒影池，视察一项修复工程。他表示，这项工程正在纠正奥巴马政府留下的“灾难”。
站在池底的特朗普称赞了这项耗资180万美元的地标翻新工程，并将其与前总统贝拉克·奥巴马任内花费3800万美元的项目进行对比。特朗普称后者是一场“施工噩梦”，完工后立刻就出现了漏水问题。
这座林肯纪念堂与华盛顿纪念碑之间绵延2000多英尺的倒影池，是美国首都最热门的地标之一，每年吸引数百万游客，也是诸多历史性活动和总统仪式的背景场地。
特朗普与内政部长道格·伯古姆一同视察了新型工业级密封胶的涂刷工作。特朗普透露，他亲自为新池面选定了颜色：“美国国旗蓝”。

“之前的颜色一直不好，因为池底基本上是灰色石材，”总统告诉记者，“现在我们会拥有绝佳的配色。它会经久耐用，而且绝不会漏水——我保证。”
根据美国国家公园管理局此前的规划文件，修复这座2400英尺长的水池的前期预估总成本高达3.55亿美元，且需耗时多年。但特朗普表示，他的团队将在两周内完成这项工程，成本仅为零头。
美国国家公园管理局此前曾主导倒影池的大规模翻新工程，该工程于2012年完工，耗资约3000万美元，解决了长期困扰该场地的结构问题和持续性漏水难题。

此次视察是美国首都“美化”整体行动的一部分。内政部长道格·伯古姆表示，在特朗普的指示下，内政部近几个月已清理了1000多处涂鸦点和82处无家可归者营地，旨在让这座城市“安全又美丽”。

“我们从未有过如此关心、投入如此多资金、投入如此多时间和精力关注广场方方面面的总统，”伯古姆说道。
总统还预告了多项即将启动的项目，包括林肯纪念堂地下室的改造以及拟建的凯旋拱门，但未立即公布相关时间表、资金和最终审批细节。

President Donald Trump visited the National Mall on Thursday, driving his motorcade through the drained Reflecting Pool to inspect a restoration project he said is correcting a “disaster” left by the Obama administration.
Standing on the pool’s floor, the president touted a $1.8 million overhaul of the landmark, contrasting it with the $38 million spent under former President Barack Obama on a project Trump described as a “construction nightmare” that leaked immediately upon completion.
The Reflecting Pool, which stretches more than 2,000 feet between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, is one of the most visited landmarks in the nation’s capital, drawing millions of tourists each year and serving as the backdrop for historic events and presidential ceremonies.
Trump was joined by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to review the application of a new, industrial-strength sealant. Trump revealed he personally selected the color for the new surface: “American Flag Blue.”

“The color was never good because basically it had a gray stone underneath,” the president told reporters. “Now it’s going to have the great color. It’s going to last a long time and you’ll have no leak—guaranteed.”
While previous estimates to fix the 2,400-foot-long pool reached as high as $355 million over a multi-year timeline, according to prior National Park Service planning documents, Trump said his team is completing the work in two weeks for a fraction of the cost.
The National Park Service previously oversaw a major rehabilitation of the Reflecting Pool that was completed in 2012 at a cost of roughly $30 million, addressing structural issues and chronic leaking that had plagued the site for years.

The inspection was part of a broader “beautification” push for the nation’s capital. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said the Department of the Interior has cleared more than 1,000 graffiti sites and 82 homeless camps in recent months under Trump’s direction to make the city “safe and beautiful.”

“We’ve never had a president who has cared more, invested more, or put more time and attention into everything about the Mall,” Burgum said.
The president also previewed several upcoming projects, including improvements to the Lincoln Memorial Undercroft and a proposed Triumphal Arc, though details on timelines, funding, and final approvals were not immediately released.
