Trump claims Reflecting Pool was vandalized and says law enforcement is investigating

[orangecrush]

“Just like three days ago, they destroyed the grass outside of the Pool, they’ve also done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed. No different than the chemicals that were used on the National Mall, they used something similar in the Reflecting Pool to try to destroy and demean our beautiful work,” Trump claimed.

When used as slang, the number 86 can refer to getting rid of or tossing something out. Trump is currently the 47th president. The phrase has recently been used to signal opposition to Trump.

A new image shows the numbers appearing even bolder than when they were originally discovered etched in the grass on the National Mall in Washington, DC more than a week ago.

1. The only vandals are felon TSF and the felon no-bid contractor.

2. "They destroyed...", "they've also done...", "they used...". Please be more specific, Mr. President.

Are you referring to the Bidens, the Obamas, antifa, the woke libtards? America wants to know.

6. If only there were some national group that could guard DC and prevent such horrors.

Somebody should look into it.
