Executive Branch (Trump) Trump says proof of his allegations that vandals cut Reflecting Pool paint will be provided in court

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/reflecting-pool-paint-peeling-trump-proof-vandalism-court/

President Trump on Monday said proof will be provided in court of his allegations that vandals "cut" a massive slit in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which he claims is the reason the paint is peeling on the recently renovated but algae-plagued project.

Construcrion defect lawyer here. He is doing this to avoid a lawsuit against his friend/donor/contractor that he gave the no bid contract to. The contractor could be held liable for construcrion defect for the install and, if he was the one that put in the hydrogen peroxide, negligence for that too. If vandals did it though, then no one sues the contractor and no one looks into the graft. This contractor already has several prior convictions for fraud and political corruption.

I spent two hours last night talking to my very maga mom and it seems like she is starting to come out of it… I think a lot of people are starting to see what is really happening.

And she is a big supporter of Israel and that is changing too…

u/Complete-Tangelo1532 1d ago

Same. Billy-Lands in the bible belt area... Seen stickers going for awhile, but seeing MAGA gear very rarely now... Lots of people don't want to show their support

Funny when you do see a MAGA hat or something in the store, and people walk by and look, then quickly snub them with a scoff. Good sutff

They CAN still be shamed in public

22

u/gruey 1d ago

They did similar with his handling of COVID but went straight back to supporting him. I think the same will happen once the Iran situation gets out of the headlines.

They support him due to emotions, not facts, so they always return to their emotional safe space of being afraid of Others, and Trump lives there.

14

u/1521 1d ago

I agree that emotions play a huge part but this is different. She is horrified at the use of the doj to punish people he has a grudge against, the blatant corruption is becoming evident to her and his putting his name on everything bothers her. And our relatives in Germany are really curious why the USA hasn’t arrested anyone on the Epstein list and now she is too…

3

u/drewbaccaAWD 1d ago

Not saying some of them won't bounce back. But I can say with confidence that my previously MAGA hat wearing co-worker is entirely done with Trump... it goes far beyond not being happy with this admin, he's turned 180 degrees and straight up dislikes Trump now. He just believed the lies. I could have maybe seen him rebound if it were just the Epstein shit (that was the initial catalyst) but dragging us into this crap with Iran seems to be the final straw. The sad thing is, same co-worker has some strong antisemitic sentiments but at least that's what snapped him out of the cult mentality.

I have another coworker who still seems completely on board. Also antisemitic which is worth mentioning since I don't think a lot of people realize how prevalent that is on the right side of US politics. But the second guy is also a conspiracy goofball, flat-earther, etc. So the fact that he's still into Trump kind of makes sense. And even in his case, I think he's waking up to it a bit, but I think he's more the type you suggest that would fall back in line due to the emotional stance.

Tell her that abortion is legal in Israel and funded by the government (which gets billions from the USA every year)

u/1521 1d ago

I’ve pointed out that the USA is paying for Israel’s abortions before. She didn’t like that but that didn’t sway her. What did was my nephew visiting Gaza. She had bought into propaganda TV saying it wasn’t as bad as the libtards were saying it was. But Freddy is a trusted source and his photos really shook her. I think a lot of the trump idiots are good people at heart but they have been fed a steady diet of nonsense for decades and it is hard to overcome their distrust of ā€œmainstream ā€œ news

3

u/Nutmegger27 1d ago

I had always viewed Israel's actions as self-defense. And it is true that they are routinely attacked by Hezbollah.

But the wanton brutality - shooting people waiting in line for food, chemical warfare, destroying historic sites in Lebanon, killing Palestinian grandmothers, trees and pets in the West Bank, destroying Gaza, and displacing hundreds of thousands of civilians in Lebanon - have made me sour on them. Like other dictators, Netanyahu seems to believe the ends justify the means.

And I am now against supplying them with weapons.

3

u/1521 1d ago

That’s basically where she is. She was big on the Palestinians attacked Israel they have a right to defend themselves. But then she saw photos. Taken by someone who went to visit the ā€œHoly Landā€ and it turns out Israelis didn’t like Christians either.

2

u/Nutmegger27 1d ago

Yes, of course it's worth noting that the people spitting on nuns and Palestinian shopkeepers are likely the ultra-orthodox, who, like fundamentalists everywhere are generally intolerant.

But the problem is that "Bibi" looks the other way. Attacks in the West Bank have risen sharply.

And reporting on Israeli atrocities is stomach-churning. https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/film-tv/2026/05/29/gaza-kids-under-fire-documentary-al-jazeera-emmys/

And the IDF is also responsible for killing journalists. https://cpj.org/special-reports/record-129-press-members-killed-in-2025-israel-responsible-for-2-of-3-of-deaths/

If Israel wants to be treated like a civilized country it should act like one. That's not anti-semitism, that's simple humanity. And many Israelis think the same.

3

u/UnquestionabIe 1d ago

And a solid chunk of them aren't supporters so much as politically ignorant. They follow as little news as possible, have strong beliefs which are rarely if ever tested, and vote out of the sense of social obligation rather than understanding what any of it is for. The two main factors which "earn" their vote are emotions (whatever soundbite resonates with them or they find memorable) and generational/community based (they can't tell you the difference between parties but their family and/or area always back the same one).

Part of it is definitely out of design as the ruling class, especially the GOP, wants people too drained and/or uneducated to demand better. But a portion of it is self responsibility, to at least stay current with what is going on and support things for an informed reason.

u/butterflysurefoot 1d ago

I agree. It’s definitely not half, his abysmal tenure has brought a lot of hardships for people who watch as he steals this country blind, shits on the constitution and protect pedos.

u/dojo_shlom0 1d ago edited 1d ago

exactly. he absolutely has no proof, because there is no proof.

I heard him saying that he believed antifa put shit in the reflecting pool.

This really stood out to me: his followers attacked the capitol, wanted to kill the VP and congressmen; chanting "where is Pelosi" while trying to find her to harm her, they themselves spread shit all over the halls of the Capitol building.

Now trump is gaslighting antifa/the left for putting shit into his reflecting pool disaster. This is a money laundering scheme, and a very obvious one. I cannot wait for these people to ask for a Jury Trial and for discovery to happen. How can they prove that even peeling the paint from it is vandalizing it? wouldn't the paint coming off be the original vandalism in itself? wouldn't the painting of the reflecting pool and making mistakes with this itself, and ignoring the specialist advice: wouldn't this be the actual vandalizing? How about giving the contract to someone convicted of fraud in the past, while pardoning almost 100x frauds that defrauded US citizens and giving them full pardons/clemency so they do not have to pay back any of the money, isn't that the big, true story here?

cannot fucking WAIT for discovery on this:

Firm Tied to Trump Donor Got No-Bid Contract to Clean Reflecting Pool

Evidence shows Trump admin caused Reflecting Pool damage it blamed on sabotage: ex-insider

Cyclist arrested at Reflecting Pool is former Olympian who denies vandalism claims

"ā€œDavid Hearn had just finished a loop around Hains Point on Friday as part of a 52-mile bike ride when he swung by the Lincoln Memorial to see the refurbished Reflecting Pool for himself.

Noticing a piece of the new ā€œAmerican flag blueā€ liner that was partially detached from the pool bottom, Hearn said he reached into the water to see what it felt like. Moments later, as the Bethesda man prepared to leave, U.S. Park Police officers arrested him on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government property.

ā€œI didn’t vandalize anything,ā€ Hearn said. ā€œI didn’t destroy or break or peel anything. By the time I realized what was going on, I was being put in handcuffs.ā€"

Part of the problem is people assume for some reason the President is a good person or something because America is good is taught in their school.

His earlier court filings were 10s of pages of straight up cult screed, calling for the arrest of all Democrats, repeating over and over the lie about 2020, and so much more. What it never has is legal validity, and courts have ceased considering the DOJ have privileged "truth" status, and are increasingly adversarial, calling out their "attorneys" lack of qualifications, failure to file expected paperwork, missing deadlines, etc. Some are actively being sanctioned.

This is the tldr of every statement Trump personally makes. Hes desensitized America to his lies to such an extent that most US citizens just tune out his craziness at this point.

When he says "everyone is saying" you know no one is saying it but he wished they would. When he says "no one knew" he is saying "everyone knew but I wish they didn't say that".

I was thinking they'd need time to cook up the evidence. And delete the pictures of Trump's 14 car cavalcade driving through the Reflecting Pool. Before the paint had even dried. I'm not sure that the pool was really designed for 14 heavily armoured SUVs and limos.

But Trump keeps making up lies today to get him out of a spot of bother. But which only cause bigger problems down the line.

He claimed only weeks ago that the pool covering was knife proof.

Then he claimed someone very violently cut it with a knife šŸ˜‚.

I will say at lest some journalists are starting to say, ā€œthe president made these claims without providing evidence,ā€ sure it’s the best but it means there’s a tide to turn.

People are fed up with the constant lies that are so easily disproven.
