President Trump poured out his frustrations with the problems plaguing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, saying that multiple people had been arrested and it would likely need to be drained for repairs.

The reflecting pool on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., has been plagued by algae and a coating that is sloughing off after a recently completed $14.7 million renovation that was part of the president's project to beautify the nation's capital. On Saturday, Trump blamed the problems on vandals, who he said cut and poured corrosive chemicals into the pool.
