Trump tries to blame Reflecting Pool woes on vandalism, without offering substantiation
President Trump accused individuals of vandalizing the Reflecting Pool after its renovation, despite no evidence provided. The pool's blue-painted surface is peeling, and green algae has reappeared, contradicting Trump's claims of intentional sabotage. An arrest for paint peeling was reported, but it does not explain the broader damage.
