President Donald Trump said the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was in “full use” after being damaged from alleged vandalism, simultaneously announcing extensive renovations to Washington, D.C.’s East Potomac Golf Links public course would begin in September in a lengthy post on Truth Social —after he toured sites of his renovations around the capital, including the newly refurbished Lafayette Square.

The president repeated his claims that the pool was damaged by vandals who “cut and butchered a 350 foot long strip” in the basin that was previously “100% free of leaks.”

Trump confirmed the government planned to drain the pool after Independence Day, but claimed it is currently “working well” and“the criminally made algae is gone”—repeating a strange claim about vandals causing an algae bloom.

He also visited Lafayette Square, the park just north of the White House that was closed for renovations, insisting improvements to the park were almost complete.

He inspected the East Potomac Golf Links, one of D.C.’s public municipal golf courses, which he lambasted as “badly damaged from years of neglect” with greens that are “virtually unplayable.”

Trump was seen touring the course, located at East Potomac Park, with golf course architect Tom Fazio, and claimed the renovated course would be challenging enough to host the U.S. Open and other golf tournaments.

Trump continued his fixation on D.C. Sunday afternoon, posting renderings of his ballrooms and a separate screed denouncing Democratic mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis George as a “communist.”

A New York Times review of the proposed East Potomac Golf Links project published on Friday found the new plans would add about 1,000 yards to the main course and demolish a nine-hole course on the grounds. This would likely increase the course’s difficulty, extending the yardage on even the course’s short tees.

In May, the Trump administration reached a deal with the National Links Trust, the nonprofit organization that operates D.C.’s municipal golf courses, to renovate East Potomac and two other city golf courses. The deal would let the Trust continue operating East Potomac until the “the National Park Service is ready to commence a historic restoration there.” However, the D.C. Preservation League filed a lawsuit to try to block the renovations months earlier, attempting to block further changes after the Trump administration began dumping old material from the recently torn-down White House East Wing at the course. A later report found the material tested positive for elevated levels of lead and chromium, among other toxic metals. In May, a federal judge warned the Trump administration to stop planned renovations on the course without properly notifying the court. “Let’s just say, given some issues around the District recently, I would have a particular concern that we not act first and ask forgiveness later,” U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes said, warning of “serious consequences” if the government failed to comply.
