Yes, President Donald Trump's motorcade drove straight across the floor of the drained Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on May 7, 2026.
The presidential motorcade was filmed driving directly across the newly applied "American flag blue" protective coating during a surprise trip to inspect the nearly $2 million renovation project.
The decision to drive heavy, armored vehicles over the newly sealed surface sparked speculation that it may have contributed to the paint and sealant peeling weeks later.
