President Trump has blamed the appearance of swathes of dead grass at the National Mall on “vandals.”
On Truth Social, Trump shared an aerial image of the grass at the National Mall which appeared to have large, dead patches in the same area that he held his July 4 celebration.
“Look what VANDALS did to the grass connecting the vandalized World War II Monument and the vandalized Reflecting Pool, which will be opened again, and better than ever, shortly,” Trump wrote on Sunday night. “Anybody who thinks the Reflecting Pool wasn’t vandalized should go back to Law School!”



Another article without mentioning who the true vandal was. This happened right after the non-compete contractor coated the pool. I think it was the day after and Trump decided to take his motorcade through it.
