President Donald Trump has shared an AI-generated video on Truth Social that mocks liberal critics by filling the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool with a crying person's 'tears.'
The clip features Trump smiling while holding a hose that pours water into the famous Washington, DC landmark. Behind him, a person wearing a diving-style helmet is shown kneeling as tears stream into the device, creating the visual effect of the pool being filled with 'liberal tears.'
The video references a viral reaction clip from Trump's 2017 inauguration, where a person wearing a green jacket and black hat screamed 'No!' moments after Trump was sworn in as president.
The inauguration reaction clip has remained a popular internet meme among Trump supporters for years, with over 8 million views on YouTube since 2017.
Following Trump's latest post, Truth Social users shared additional AI-generated edits and meme versions, including one showing Trump unloading a truck full of 'liberal tears' into the Reflecting Pool.
The video arrived alongside updates about renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which cost $13.1 million and were partially funded through National Park Service visitation fees collected at parks nationwide.
However, the restoration effort has also faced criticism, with The Cultural Landscape Foundation arguing that changes to the pool's appearance could alter its historic character without proper authorization.
