The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is looking rough again … after powerful storms turned the already-troubled tourist attraction into an even bigger mess.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Fencing and black tarp surrounding the closed-off pool have toppled over, mucking up the view … with parts of the barrier spilling into the water and leaving the area looking battered and disheveled.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Recent storms hammered D.C. with heavy rain and powerful winds … knocking down trees and sending debris flying across the District — and the Reflecting Pool wasn’t spared.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

Of course, it’s just the latest headache for the famous landmark after its multimillion-dollar makeover became a months-long saga.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

As TMZ previously reported … the pool developed algae and its new blue coating began peeling shortly after the renovation. President Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a> blamed vandals for some of the damage, leading to arrests — but prosecutors later dropped <\/strong><\/a>the felony case against former Olympian David Hearn<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>after concluding the installation itself was flawed.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Trump has continued insisting vandalism played a role … and the administration recently shelled out more millions to tackle the pool’s algae problem.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

So much for keeping up appearances …<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
