The Reflecting Pool is in Washington. It is a very big pool with water. Donald Trump paid for new work. The cost was 15 million dollars. The bottom was blue like the flag. But now the water is green. Many plants grow in the water. The blue paint comes off. The paint floats on the water. Workers put strong cleaners into the water. These are chemicals. They kill the plants. A small bird died in the water. Experts say the water is dangerous for animals. President Trump blames other people. He says: People broke the pool on purpose. This is called Vandalism. He calls these people crazy. The police caught 5 people. One man is David Hearn. He is 67 years old. He was a famous athlete. He says: I only touched the paint. I wanted to see why it comes off. Now soldiers watch the pool. This group is the National-Garde. Trump says: The people go to jail. A friend of Trump did the repair work. There is also trouble in Philadelphia. It is about an old house. George Washington lived there. People worked there as slaves. Trump removes signs about this slavery. There are also stories about Scott Bessent. He is the finance minister for Trump. He said bad things about Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He is the leader of Ukraine.
