WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Trump administration announced the restoration and reopening of Columbus Circle, the park located outside Union Station, on Thursday.
The restoration of Columbus Circle included cleaning up the monument, fixing the grass and turning the fountain back on. The fountain had previously been off since 2007. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy attended the ribbon cutting for the project spearheaded by Trump’s task force. The task force is focused on making D.C. safe and beautiful again.
The Daily Caller attended the reopening of Columbus Circle. See photos of the restoration below:

Someone once poured the contents of a box of Tide into the fountain.
Beautiful. Thank you President Trump.
I wonder where the homeless people go when they’re moved out of an area like this...
Shut down by that evil muslim obama no doubt.
1-800-karenbass.
Cleaning really isn’t that hard but it takes a little pride to start it.
I love it when lefty heads explode.
Now restore the monuments along Monument Ave. in Richmond VA:
“All five Confederate statues (honoring Robert E. Lee, J.E.B. Stuart, Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis, and Matthew Fontaine Maury) have been completely removed, with the last remaining Confederate monument taken down in September 2021.”
Haha. I lived in two places with fountains and kids would sneak in at night and dump a bottle of soda in them. One was the Water Clock in Hornsby NSW Australia. The other was the putrid fake waterfall in Wichita Falls. It got so bad there they would turn off “the falls” at night.
Perfect contrast of what the liberal democrat commies like, and what conservatives like.
I hope they’ve installed security cameras to catch vandals.
I asked ChatGPT about those symbols: If these were the symbols painted on the Washington, D.C. fountains during the 2024 Gaza/Netanyahu protests, the current meaning is most likely political rather than alchemical.
The inverted red triangle has recently become associated with pro-Palestinian activism and, more specifically, imagery used in Hamas propaganda videos, where the symbol marks targets before attacks. It appeared widely in protest graffiti during 2024, including on monuments and fountains in Washington, D.C.
The plain outlined triangle in your first image is probably the same symbol rendered differently.
Current interpretations vary:
Some protesters use it broadly as a symbol of Palestinian resistance or solidarity.
Others view it as explicitly tied to Hamas targeting imagery and therefore threatening or antisemitic, especially when spray-painted on buildings, homes, synagogues, or monuments.
The specific D.C. fountain vandalism in 2024 reportedly included inverted red triangles alongside slogans such as “Free Gaza” and “Hamas is coming.”
So in that context, the symbol’s most likely intended meaning was:
pro-Palestinian / anti-Israel protest symbolism associated with the Gaza war and Hamas-related resistance imagery.
And then shoot the vandals.
