As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
President Trump’s restoration projects in Washington, D.C. have brought praise from Democrats, a rare occurrence. The Meridian Hill Park fountain, which had been dry since 2020, has been restored, and other fountains in Lafayette Park have been turned on for the first time. Democrats have taken to social media to express their appreciation for the updates. The projects are part of Trump’s broader effort to beautify the city and lower crime trends. The praise from Democrats is a notable development in the lead-up to the semiquincentennial celebration.
It’s almost as if the restoration of a fountain can momentarily bridge the partisan divide.
