Trump Blames Vandals For Pool Problems, Seeks Jail Time
President Trump is attributing recent problems with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool’s $14.2 million renovation to “vandals.” Despite the administration’s claims that the work was successful, the pool has quickly reverted to green algae, and sections of the new blue paint are peeling. The President has publicly stated that multiple individuals have been arrested for “disgraceful vandalism,” even suggesting further arrests are imminent and that these actions constitute a serious crime. This deflection comes as the pool’s dilapidated state serves as a visible embarrassment ahead of national celebrations.
