From Greg Wischer at the United States Department of the Interior: “The National Park Service has beautified the Dante Memorial Statue in Meridian Park in Washington, D.C. The statue depicts the Italian poet Dante Aligheri holding his most well-known work, ‘The Divine Comedy,’ which was finished in 1321. The statue was cleaned and waxed.”
Taking down the scaffolding around the regilded Arts of War sculptures!
We’ve cleaned, renovated, and beautified over 45 Monuments and Memorials, 28 Statues, and 22 Fountains in Washington, D.C. Things are really looking good in our Nation’s Capital, and add to that the fact that when I became President, Crime was rampant, and now, Washington, D.C., is one of the Safest Cities anywhere in the United States. However, we’ve had some real problems with Vandalism at the beautiful Reflecting Pool, which sits between The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial. Just like three days ago, they destroyed the grass outside of the Pool, they’ve also done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed. No different than the chemicals that were used on the National Mall, they used something similar in the Reflecting Pool to try to destroy and demean our beautiful work. Lightweight ABC Reporter, Jonathan Karl, was seen sticking his hand into the Pool, and trying to rip the rubber off of the surface. The algae is 75% gone, and the condition will soon be completely remedied, and the area that was vandalized, fortunately, is just a small area of damage, and will be fixed early next week. It’s a shame that the Radical Left Lunatics, most likely Dumocats, who have spent their lives trying to ruin our Country, are free to do so. Law Enforcement is actively investigating this situation, and will hopefully have it resolved soon. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

A news/documentary-style photograph of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., looking east toward the Washington Monument and the Capitol dome in the distance. In the foreground, a man in a light blue polo shirt, dark pants, and rubber boots stands on the edge of the pool using a long yellow pole to clean or skim the water. A blue hose runs across the paved area to a red-and-black gas-powered pump/generator on wheels at bottom right, suggesting the pool is being drained, filled, or filtered. Trees line both sides of the pool, with a paved walkway and small maintenance carts visible on the left side. The sky is overcast and hazy.

A news-style photograph taken from the steps at the west end of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., looking east toward the Washington Monument, which stands centered in the distance. The reflecting pool's calm water shows a mirror image of the monument. Rows of green trees line both sides of the pool, with small maintenance golf carts visible on the paths. In the foreground, standing at the edge of the pool, two men in work attire (one in a light blue shirt holding a long pole or tool, the other in a gray shirt) face each other, appearing to be maintenance or grounds workers. Some small equipment (possibly a pump or filtration device) sits at the bottom left corner of the frame.

A nighttime photograph of the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., illuminated with warm light against a dark blue night sky. The obelisk is reflected in the still water of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool below it. Small clusters of people are visible as silhouettes near a fence in the foreground, along with what appear to be some barricades or equipment at the bottom edge. Dark tree lines flank both sides of the pool, and a few illuminated buildings and flags are visible near the monument's base in the distance.
