BACKFIRE: Trump posts “proof” of Reflecting Pool cutting in EPIC FAIL

You know how we all collectively have been asking for proof of Trump's claim that elusive vandals were responsible for a 250 foot gash, I mean a 300 foot gash, I mean a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool?Well, ask and you shall receive.This is the proof offered up by the Interior Department.The tweet says, quote, Bulletin, the United States Park Police is seeking assistance in identifying the individual depicted here in connection with a destruction of government property investigation.The incident occurred on June 19, 2026, at approximately 3 .36 p .m.

at the Reflecting Pool on the grounds of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D .C.And this is the VIDEO that was attached.Now you can see very clearly how this vandal travels hundreds of feet, the length of a football field, to be exact.I'm surprised that there was any water left in the reflecting pool in the aftermath of this attack.And I, for one, will do whatever I can to find this enemy of the state and bring them to justice, because such blatant and egregious vandalism must not be tolerated.

Otherwise, who knows what's next.They might lean on a wall, they might rub up against a window, or even step on grass.must not be allowed to continue.Are we a nation of laws or not?

In fact, even TMZ got a video of the purported gash at the center of this controversy.I don't know why the sediment would gather there like that.I'm not an expert, but maybe that's where some gash was gashed, if you feel what I mean.

Ah yes, that is a box cutter slit if I've ever seen one.That clean straight line could only be from a knife at the hands of vandals.No other explanation for I am very smart and it is definitely totally not my first day on earth.Just that'll ask for some support for a book that I really think meets this moment.

Thanks so much.

Now this all came about because Donald Trump hired an incompetent firm with a no -bid contract so that he could take care of his pals, and they did a piss poor job and the pool liner started coming up in chunks.But Trump couldn't take responsibility for that because that would betray the corruption of his deal.So instead, he started dumping excuses on like this.

Are the contractors who did the initial work for the reflecting pool, are they to blame for the current condition?Or is it the vandals?

You know, we have 100 and we have a, I think, 290, 300 -foot slit right through it, probably a box cutter or a knife of some kind.We had people lifting up the basic, some of the base.It's not a lot of damage, but we'll probably have to let the water out and refix it.They went in there with a knife.I was just told by the people over at Parks, they have five people are arrested.And five people are under investigation right now.

And this.They've all been fixed.We also fixed the...and it'll be back to health pretty soon.We're gonna have to let the water out to fix the one little, there's two little areas, very little areas where they were cut, and we'll fix that, but it's not leaking or anything, it's got a base underneath.And this.

Fencing around the reflecting pool will be down by July 4th, or is that gonna be?

The pool?

Yeah.

It's in great shape, no.Ready?Thugs.They just told me a little while ago, six have been arrested, and like six or seven are under -invested.They have pictures and everything else.They went to the bottom.

And it's not a paint job.It's very expensive.It's not rubber, but it's like rubber.And they went down with probably a box cutter or a very sharp razor of some kind or a knife.And they cut.And then they started ripping it up.

You know why?Because they're sick people.And then the side of the pool, right at water level, they took razors and they started cutting this, you know, very expensive stuff.It's incredible stuff.It's beautiful.And it was so — and it's still beautiful.

But we have one area where they cut it.It's still holding.It's not leaking.But they hurt it so in about probably maybe after July 4th or maybe before.I don't know.We'll let a little water out because it's at the edge.

They'll cut it.They'll replace it.And it'll be as good as new.But these people should go to jail.this.on trying to fix it.

You know what happened to it?Never even opened.

Yes, elusive vandals, partisan algae, and even Barack Hussein Obama.Everybody's fault, except his own.And look, is this important?No, but it is the perfect microcosm for the wastefulness of this government and the incompetence of this administration.Donald Trump decided to give a no -bid contract to an unqualified vendor who he's friends with and they screwed up, and now we're left paying 10 times the amount to fix his problem.And this is what they're wasting time on.

Not healthcare, not rent, not housing, not food, not jobs, not inflation, all of which are getting worse.And I get that Trump thinks Americans are stupid, but take a look at this and tell me if you think they're allowing the wool to be pulled over their eyes.The pool was perfectly fine.We wasted all this money to, I guess, make it better, but it's not better.It's a crazy scene.

What a waste.I've been riding by this reflecting pool for decades.

I just can't believe that we are spending our money this way when there's so many higher priorities.Healthcare?Childcare?closing the budget deficit.I mean, there's a million places we could spend this money.

We have a tremendous amount of need in the country currently, whether you call it affordability or just the ability to pay your bills.

And yet nothing will change, because this government is not in place to deliver for regular Americans.It is in place to assuage Trump's fragile economy.And because Trump doesn't want to be embarrassed over his Bosch reflecting pool renovation, these are the theatrics that we're forced to endure.But the reflecting pool doesn't put food on the table, it doesn't make medicine affordable, it doesn't raise anybody's wages or reduce inflation or lower utility bills.But Trump doesn't care, because that stuff impacts everybody else, and his focus is where it always is – on himself.Before you go, I'm very excited to announce that I've written a new book titled The Day After How to Wheel Power in a Post -Trump World.

The book explores what is, in my opinion, the single most important theme that we're dealing with in politics today and moving forward.power Thanks so much for supporting Independent Media.
