    What’s wild is that he or his admin were claiming they had photo and/or video evidence of someone cutting the pool.

    More journalists need to ask him and his bootlicks why they lied about it earlier. And frame it that way: “if you are admitting you have no evidence now, why did you lie about that earlier?”

      We all have evidence of who wrecked it. This is him taking his motorcade across it right after it was sealed:

      President Donald Trump took an unannounced trip to the Lincoln Memorial to see the Reflecting Pool after he had it coated in a color he calls “American flag blue.” He did more than just see it — the president was driven across the new coating before he got out of his SUV to make a statement. The new blue coating will hide the pool’s gray stone, a color Trump said was “never good.” The project cost nearly $2 million, he said.
