The Trump administration, however, can\u2019t say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe National Park Service continues to fine tune the fountain\u2019s operations after the reopening of the Meridian Hill Cascading Fountain in May,\u201d an Interior Department spokesperson told the Daily Beast when asked if or when the water in the fountain would return to its earlier clear form.<\/p>\n<p>Built in 1932, the cascading fountain is one of the longest in North America and has long been a gathering place for Washington residents. <\/p>\n<p>The park itself, also known locally as Malcolm X Park, is an 11-acre National Historic Landmark known for its Italian-style gardens, Sunday drum circles, protests, and community gatherings. <\/p>\n<p>After years of running dry, the fountain was reopened in May, making it one of the many restoration projects Trump cites to boast about transforming Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3233\">JD Vance Eyes $9M Mansion Owned by Data Center Tycoon<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThings are really looking good in our nation\u2019s capital,\u201d he said in a recent Truth Social post.<\/p>\n<p>The fountain is one of many beautification projects across the capital as Trump seeks to remake Washington in his own image. Some, such as the White House ballroom, the Triumphal Arch and the Reflecting Pool are well known.<\/p>\n<p>But there are many others underway or proposed, including redesigning Pennsylvania Avenue, turning East Potomac into a championship golf course, creating a \u201cNational Garden of American Heroes,\u201d and installing 47 trees at Lafayette Park (Trump is the 47th president of America).<\/p>\n<p>Even the grass around D.C. is getting a revamp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know more about grass than any human being,\u201d Trump recently boasted.<\/p>\n<p>At the White House this week, workers have also been stripping roughly 150 years of paint from the North Portico columns, while fresh decorative draping has quietly appeared across parts of the fa\u00e7ade. <\/p>\n<p>Trump is also building a multi-level military fortress underneath the ballroom, a new granite helipad on the South Lawn, and continues to add gold features in and around the West Wing and Oval Office.<\/p>\n<p>Congressman Adam Smith said it was an \u201cunderstatement\u201d to say Trump spent too much time focusing on such things. <\/p>\n<p>Others have accused the president of having the wrong priorities given many Americans are still struggling with cost-of-living pressures, which he promised to address.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cHe seems obsessed with remaking everything, from the White House, to the Reflecting Pool, to his new Arch, to the Kennedy Center,\u201d Smith said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cBut this is not what a democratically elected president and a representative of democracy should be focused on.
