Trump on the reflecting pool: We met with contractors today, will probably be forced to release and drain much of the water in order to do the necessary repairs, but will have them done as quickly as possible. 😭

Or is this just the rantings of a sick and delusional person?

Which, in the minds of the Fauxian media, is absolute proof that this algae is the fault of a massive radical left conspiracy to sabotage the Reflecting Pool and humiliate Trump/America on its 250th anniversary.

(10,755 posts)There was no vandalism. The paint/coating came loose on its own. A reminder that there are webcams showing this area 24/7. Any vandalism would have been caught on camera. The fact thaat nothing was seen on the webcams tells you all you need to know about the validity of Trump's claims. Also, the only corrosive and destructive chemicals poured in the pool were done by National Park Service employees.

(60,733 posts)He could go back, decide not to touch the Reflecting Pool at all, and save us a lot of time, money, and embarrassing headlines. Come to think of it, while he's at it, there is this ballroom thing to consider as well................
