特朗普指控林肯纪念堂倒影池遭蓄意破坏并称可能需要再次排干池水Trump Claims Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Vandalized, Says Basin May Need Draining

特朗普总统于2026年6月20日在社交媒体平台上连续发帖，宣称美国公园警察已经逮捕了多名涉嫌破坏林肯纪念堂倒影池的嫌疑人。特朗普表示，这些破坏行为属于破坏国家纪念碑的严重犯罪，涉案人员应面临数年的监禁处罚。他指责这些“恶劣的破坏者”对耗费巨资、本已完美呈现镜面效果的倒影池进行了蓄意损毁，并称其行为是对乔治·华盛顿和亚伯拉罕·林肯两位总统的公然冒犯。

President Donald Trump published a series of social media posts on Saturday, June 20, 2026, announcing that the U.S. Park Police had arrested multiple individuals for allegedly vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Trump characterized the actions as very serious crimes involving the destruction of national monuments that warrant years in jail. He condemned the suspects as "terrible Vandals," claiming their actions were a true affront to both Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, especially after significant work and money had been spent to achieve a perfect mirror-like finish.

特朗普在周六晚间进一步透露，他在当天与项目承包商会面并评估了受损情况。他表示，为了进行必要的修复工作，倒影池的大部分池水可能需要再次被排干。特朗普坚称，在遭到破坏之前，该倒影池的运作非常完美，而如今的受损状况使得这一旨在迎接美国建国250周年的美化工程不得不面临重新整修的局面。

Following a meeting with contractors on Saturday, Trump stated that much of the water in the 2,030-foot basin will likely need to be drained again to carry out necessary repairs on the pool's floor. The president maintained that the pool had worked perfectly prior to the damage, defending the rehabilitation project launched ahead of the nation's 250th anniversary against what he described as deliberate setbacks.

这项耗资超过1400万美元的林肯纪念堂倒影池翻新项目，是特朗普政府为了迎接美国建国250周年而启动的美化工程之一。特朗普此前批评其前任任期内让倒影池变成了长满藻类的绿色，因此他亲自选定了“国旗蓝”池底密封涂层，旨在让池水能够更好地倒影出华盛顿纪念碑。然而，在翻新后的倒影池重新注水并向公众揭幕后，池水很快又变成了人们熟悉的绿色，暴发了严重的藻类危机。

The rehabilitation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, a project costing over $14 million, was launched by the Trump administration as part of efforts to beautify the National Mall ahead of the nation's 250th anniversary. Trump previously criticized his predecessors for allowing the pool to turn an algae-stained green, prompting him to handpick an "American flag blue" sealant for the basin floor to better reflect the Washington Monument. However, shortly after the newly renovated pool was refilled and unveiled, the water quickly returned to a familiar green hue due to a sudden algae bloom.

为了应对藻类问题，工作人员向池中投放了化学药物进行杀藻处理，但随后池底新喷涂的蓝色密封层开始出现大面积剥落和起泡。多张现场照片和视频显示，大块的蓝色涂层材料脱离池底并漂浮在水面上。原本旨在恢复这座百年历史水池荣光的翻新工程，在完工后迅速陷入了涂层剥落与藻类滋生的双重困境，吸引了大量游客和当地居民前来围观这一尴尬景象。

To combat the algae, workers treated the water with chemicals, but the newly applied blue lining on the bottom subsequently began to blister and peel. Multiple photos and videos captured chunks of the blue paint detaching from the surface and floating in the water. What was intended to be a straightforward restoration of the century-old basin has instead drawn tourists and locals alike to witness the peeling sealant and persistent algae growth.

在被捕的涉案人员中，包括现年67岁、来自马里兰州贝塞斯达的前美国奥运皮划艇选手大卫·赫恩。赫恩于2026年6月19日星期五在林肯纪念堂倒影池附近被警方逮捕，并因涉嫌破坏政府财产被拘留了五个小时。赫恩曾三次代表美国参加奥运会，并拥有材料科学背景。他表示，自己是在完成一次64英里的自行车骑行途中路过倒影池，因为此前在新闻中读到关于池水暴发藻类以及池底密封涂层剥落的报道，出于好奇才停下来查看。

Among those arrested in connection with the alleged vandalism is David Hearn, a 67-year-old resident of Bethesda, Maryland, and a three-time US Olympic canoeist. Hearn was arrested by authorities on Friday, June 19, 2026, at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and was detained for five hours on charges of destruction of government property. Hearn, who has a background in material science, explained that he had stopped by the basin during a 64-mile bicycle ride to inspect the area after reading news reports about the persistent algae blooms and the peeling sealant on the pool's floor.

赫恩在接受媒体采访时否认自己有任何违法行为。他解释称，自己当时在池底看到了一块已经部分脱落的蓝色涂层材料，于是伸手入水触摸了这块材料的边缘，并轻轻折弯了一下，以了解这种剥落材料的材质。然而，这一出于好奇的举动随即导致他被警方逮捕并起诉。赫恩强调，自己仅仅是触摸了已经松动脱落的蓝色密封层，并未进行任何蓄意破坏，但这一事件却让他成为了特朗普总统口中“破坏国家纪念碑”的被捕嫌疑人之一。

Hearn denied any wrongdoing, explaining to reporters that he was simply curious about a blue flap of material that was already partially detached from the bottom of the pool. He stated that he reached into the water, felt the loose end of the sealant, and bent it around slightly to examine its texture. This act of curiosity resulted in his immediate arrest and subsequent charges, placing the former Olympian at the center of the high-profile law enforcement response highlighted by President Trump.

特朗普总统在其社交媒体上提出了多项具体的破坏指控。他声称，涉案嫌疑人使用某种刀具或刀片，在倒影池精美的池底表面划出了一条长达250英尺的裂口。此外，特朗普还指控破坏者向池中倾倒了具有腐蚀性和破坏性的化学物质，并指出这些破坏行为还不包括此前导致大片草坪枯死的行为，而草坪被毁在整起事件中已经是程度最轻的损失。

President Donald Trump detailed several specific allegations of vandalism on his social media account. He claimed that suspects used some form of a knife or blade to slash a 250-foot-long gash into the newly installed facade of the basin floor. Additionally, Trump alleged that the individuals poured corrosive and destructive chemicals into the pool, adding that this damage was separate from and far more severe than an earlier incident that killed a large amount of grass surrounding the site.

然而，针对特朗普提出的这些具体破坏细节，负责国家广场执法与日常维护的官方机构均未予以证实。美国公园警察、国家公园管理局以及美国内政部均未对媒体的置评请求做出回应，也没有提供任何证据来支持倒影池遭到刀划或化学品破坏的说法。多方媒体指出，在官方机构保持沉默的同时，倒影池目前面临的实际问题仍是此前已曝光的严重藻类暴发以及蓝色密封涂层大面积起泡剥落。

Despite these detailed accusations, the official agencies responsible for the law enforcement and upkeep of the National Mall have not substantiated the claims. The U.S. Park Police, the National Park Service, and the Department of the Interior did not respond to multiple requests for comment regarding the alleged knife slash or chemical contamination. While these agencies remain silent, news outlets continue to point out that the only documented issues at the pool are the severe algae bloom and the peeling of the blue sealant.
