Trump claims vandals damaged D.C. Reflecting Pool, and says it will be drained again

Sad thing is... People are going to believe it.
Someone will say they saw someone doing it or that the people who filmed it after were also the ones responsible. We'll have a witch hunt over it and people's lives are going to get ruined. All because donny numbnuts would rather it was a conspiracy against him than face the fact that it was a shitty job likely made worse by whatever they dumped in after to kill the algae.
Or maybe we'll just go bomb Cuba to distract from it all...
I have hopes that Cuba opening its financial sector to privatization will perhaps deter US agression.
I have no such hopes that it will decrease Cuba's hostile militant designation as a Chinese proxy, nor that it will help any Cuban citizens individual rights, but that is second to aversion of conflict.
100% it will get thrown out of court, but the fact that the seed of bullshit was planted by Trump will be enough to convince absolute morons people who voted for Trump, that it is forever gospel and never to be fact checked again.
Also anything to keep minds off of the Epstein files.
Well, I mean, he did just pay a company millions of taxpayer dollars to line the entire pool with blue, which is now disintegrating and floating around the pool, so that wouldn't be far off.
This is unreal. People across the world have pools and ponds and don’t have an algae issue. Trump has spent millions, of other people’s money, and it’s shagged in, what, days?
I won't say the reflective pool is an easy task, the water is not treated at all, and it has been plagued with things like leaks and snail infestations for its entire history, but the fact that Trump's admin with all the presidential authority and assets is the first to ever fail to handle it to this extent is certainly telling.
Is he sure it was Vandals, and not Visigoths?
I think it was the Austrians, if you catch my drift.
Someone should tell donnie dumbass that he and his administration are the vandals.
If this follows the same pattern as things like the war and other fleecing, we should see say, six to ten different attempts to fix the pool, all failing in various ways, the left blamed for it all, and someone getting tax payer money for the whole clown show.
He’s going to drain the swamp!
That he created!
Again.
Virtually everyone has the footage of the vandals:
Typical for everything he touches. It was likely "his own" hydrogen peroxide that did that flaky "trick".
Perhaps those vandals will be made to scrape up the filth they failed to adhere to the granite?
Did his pool guy not know to put some chlorine in it?

Ah yes. Washington D.C., Capital Hill. Well known for its lax surveillance. /s
They're charging a resident and olympic athlete for touching some of the already damaged blue lining, Trump claims somebody covertly took a knife along the entire pool.
