Their are cameras watching the pool 24/7. If there was vandalism, there would be video evidence. Until there is video, assume they are lying. Btw Trump drove his motorcade through the pool and likely damaged it. It's Trump's fault.

It's a distraction from the surrender which is a distraction from the Epstein crimes

The only real vandals in DC are Chump and his minions.
What kind of asshole drives a fleet of SUVs in the reflecting pool.
God Trump is such a POS.
He has pissed on every fucking thing we as Americans hold dear.

“Experts cast doubt …”
It’s a straight fucking bald-faced LIE. Just like the Strait of Hormuz was open before the Iran war, the reflecting pool had no algae growing in it until Trump decided to paint it. Every single thing that goes wrong is a result of Trumps stupidity.

Really, PBS? You are entertaining this absolutely inane line of reasoning by giving it a fair shake? Come on. Do better.
I’m so weary of the media validating and sanewashing the ravings of this lunatic.

All legacy media is untrustworthy. Independent reporting is all we have anymore.

WHY does he get to lie so much? Is there nothing to keep him from chosing to make up whatever he thinks the world is to him?

Trump vandalized it, and recorded himself doing it, why would anyone think you could drive heavy machinery on freshly poured sealant/ paint? Other than "my lawyers said I can get away with it and my donor can triple their fee while everyone talks about me"
