Attack of the Fanboy
President Trump stated on Sunday that there was some contractor error regarding the recent renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, The Hill reported.
He wrote, “There was substantial damage to the Reflecting Pool, also but, unfortunately, there is no video or proof, other than the damage, itself.”
He described this witness as a career employee and a highly credible witness who allegedly saw Olympian David Hearn in broad daylight vandalize the Reflecting Pool by “violently” ripping and tugging at the pool’s somewhat delicate coating.
President Trump said a contractor rushed to complete renovation work on the Reflecting Pool in time for a Fourth of July opening.
This latest post on Truth Social arrived just one day after the President shared photos of what he labeled as vandalism.
