Trump gets one FINAL Reflecting Pool HUMILIATION on national TV
"There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been seven arrests. There was people literally trying to destroy part of a monument. The reflecting pool is not just a pool on the mall. It is part of the Lincoln Memorial."
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum claimed on national television that vandals with box cutters carved a 350-foot gash in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, alleging seven arrests have been made. However, no photographic or video evidence of such vandalism has been released by the administration despite weeks passing since the alleged incident. The only evidence provided was a brief video showing an individual near the pool and images of what appears to be sediment or liner damage.
