Trump order for 'American flag blue' pool

The iconic National Mall landmark is set for a controversial aesthetic overhaul under a new directive from the White House.

President Trump stated that he personally consulted with pool contractors to select the specific blue hue, which he believes will enhance the monument's appearance.

Critics have questioned the historical appropriateness of the change, noting the pool's significance as the site of Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech.

The project is part of a broader effort by the administration to refashion government buildings and monuments in Washington, D.C.
