Heated Exchange at the Memorial

During an unexpected stop on May 7, 2026, Scott questioned why Trump was prioritizing projects like the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool while Americans face higher fuel costs. Trump called the question "such a stupid question," attacked Scott as "one of the worst reporters," labeled her work "ABC fake news" and called her "a horror show." He defended the restoration effort, saying crews had removed "11 or 12 truckloads of garbage" from the pond.
