A top official at the National Park Service says a liner along the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was cut with a sharp knife or razor this month, causing damage to the foam sealant installed as part of a $16 million rehabilitation project.

    Was this before or after Trump had his fleet of vehicles in his motorcade drive through the emptied Reflecting Pool?

    Also, bravo to the libs. They were able to successfully snorkle through the Reflecting Pool completely undetected, cut the liner with razor blades, then escape without ever showing up on a single CCTV camera or by a single witness in the middle of one of the busiest and most populated areas.

    His statement does not say when exactly the damage occurred or whether it was a suspected case of vandalism and does not identify anyone who might have been involved.

    If they had details, they would be talking about it. Just another obvious lie to keep the president from slashing their budget even further.

    His pool guy musta wanted another cut. The only people who have been wadding around in there have worked for either the government or the contractor. That’s if there even is damage and it wasn’t just shitty construction consistent with a corrupt no bid contract.
