Trump accurately quoted a Department of the Interior statement confirming the FDR Memorial's fountains and pools had gone five years without repairs before being rehabilitated, with over 100,000 gallons flowing through its seven granite fountains.
The claim matches verbatim a statement attributed to the Department of the Interior official Greg Wischer, as archived by trumpstruth.org and referenced in the Washington Examiner's coverage of Trump's beautification announcements. Both sources confirm the same figures and details about the memorial's five-year repair gap and its seven granite fountains carrying over 100,000 gallons of water. No source contradicts these figures, and the Washington Examiner independently reports the renovation as completed infrastructure work.
