Trump Blames Vandals and Obama for Reflecting Pool Problems After Botched Renovation
No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen
Trump gets one FINAL Reflecting Pool HUMILIATION on national TV
What was said
"They went in there with a knife. I was just told by the people over at parks they have five people are arrested and five people are under investigation right now and it's a sad thing. Somebody said fertilizer in the water. If you put fertilizer in the water, you get algae. But somebody said they might have put fertilizer."
President Trump offered multiple conflicting explanations for problems with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation, variously blaming vandals with knives, fertilizer sabotage, and Barack Obama's previous renovation attempts. The project, initially promised as a one-week, $1 million job, has now cost $16.5 million over two months with a no-bid contract awarded to associates.
