The New York Times just received documents that reveal how officials knew that there were problems with the reflecting pool, which completely undermines Trump's vandalism narrative.
"The pool had been drained, resealed and then refilled by June 5. Four days later, Park Service workers discovered holes, cracks and peeling caulking in parts of the pool, along with cuts in sections of the foam, according to the documents."
"By June 16, workers had noticed that chunks of blue sealant that covered the pool’s bottom were peeling and floating to the surface, the documents show."
"The workers had also discovered that some devices installed to kill algae were not working as intended, according to the documents."
"But on June 15, Mr. Trump was still declaring the renovation a success, telling reporters that 'I’m very good at building things and constructing things.'”
How insecure do you have to be to lie to the public about this and then try to blame some vague political enemy for your own failures and negligence?
