President Donald Trump says the U.S. Park Police have rounded up a ring of vandals who sabotaged the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The actual arrest record tells a much smaller story: one 67-year-old cyclist who says he reached into the water to touch a piece of paint that had already fallen off.
In a Truth Social post Saturday, Trump escalated his days-long insistence that his troubled $14 million renovation was the victim of a crime rather than a botched paint job. „The United States Park Police have arrested multiple individuals for vandalizing our Nations magnificent Reflecting Poll,“ he wrote, misspelling „Pool.“ „Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail! Work will begin immediately on its repair.“
According to The Washington Post, Park Police arrested a single person on Friday: David Hearn, a 67-year-old man from Bethesda and a three-time Olympic canoe slalom athlete, on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government property.

Years in jail for a misdemeanor? Weird threat from the president who signed the first step act.

There is no way these arrests will hold up in court. What a waste of everyone’s time and effort.

If he’s looking for the person responsible for that destruction he needs to just look in the mirror

So we should be able to arrest Trump for the destruction he has wrought against our monuments, right?

Didn’t he sell the contract to revamp it without open offers? Like one of his family or mates got it? Should have known it wouldn’t work out. The cunt is just a grifter

That reminds me, he is a huge piece of shit. Probably 30 Courics or more.

Trump’s lying has reached levels never seen before.
People are saying “Sir, your lying tongue surpasses anyone in history”
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Years in jail? For what? Maybe just a fine? Right?

Since it’s his fault, he should be arrested.

Pretty soon, you’ll be arrested if you go near the Reflecting Pool without saying something like, „I can believe how clear the water is and blue the bottom of the pool is.“

Trump should be in jail for raping kids and his other 34 felonies. Let’s focus on that punishment first.

MAGA are claiming vandals stole handles to the pumps. Has anyone seen evidence of this in the news?

Jail the corrupt and incompetent contractors who got no the bid jobs.

The whole thing is a con job y’all. It’s one of the oldest con jobs in the book. I can draw pictures if you like.

Bullshit. Trump got a kick back from the guy who owns the company that supposedly fixed the pool. Now that his no bid contract failed Trump once again needs to blame someone else

So it should be years in jail for people who destroy government property. Does that include the capital building or no?

Trump is so pissed off that people are not praising what he’s accomplished with the reflecting pool that one day DC is going to wake up to the reflecting pool looking like the East Wing of the White House.
He will say he needs the space for his Trump Arch.
The emperor’s new clothes and all, but everybody knows he’s naked and Trump insists he’s got the best new clothes.

Wouldn’t it be insane if the thing that convinces the GOP to 25th Amendment this guy is his unhinged response to algal blooms?
I am an environmental scientist. My job is to come up with ways to prevent and mitigate harmful algal blooms (HABs). Fighting this shit is my bread and butter. So it is surreal to find myself on the side of the algae. Bloom to your heart’s content, my little unicellular friends!

More arresting random people going about their business. Poor 67 year old guy. He will be getting death threats and hate mail from the deranged MAGA crowd for next few years.

How about the guy who knocked down a whole wing of our White House?! If you get years in jail for picking up a piece of trash out of the reflecting pool, how many years in jail for destroying an historic building?

I wonder if the east wing of the White House would’ve been considered a national monument.
