In a post on Truth Social, Donald Trump claimed that ABC “failed to report that their close ‘friends,’ Democrats Obama and Biden, spent over 100 Million Dollars on the Reflecting Pool, and it never worked.” Trump did not give any evidence for the $100 million claim, but prior reporting by PBS indicated that former President Barack Obama’s administration spent around $35 million on repairs for the monument. No major repairs to the pool are known to have been carried out during the Biden administration.
