Donald Trump has announced his ambitious plan to reclaim control over the crucial Strait of Hormuz, but only after he successfully reopens the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington DC. Describing the pool as one of the world's most strategic waterways, Trump has promised to clear it of the toxic algae that has made it impassable for months.

The former president stated, “A lot of people are asking me, ‘When will the Strait of Hormuz reopen?’ and I tell them, let’s first focus on the water in Washington DC.” Critics have pointed out that Trump underestimated the complexity of the task, going in without a plan. The US Government has already spent a significant amount of money, and now the pool requires draining and repainting.

Those close to Trump aren't surprised by the mismanagement, with one insider jokingly noting that Trump is “famously bad at reflection.”
