The Reflecting Pool has had a rough week. Just after a $14 million refurbishment, the water turned green from algae, and chunks of blue material were seen peeling off the bottom. Now, President Donald Trump is chalking up the problems to "vandalism." "We've cleaned, renovated, and beautified over 45 Monuments and Memorials, 28 Statues, and 22 Fountains in Washington, D.C.," the president wrote on Truth Social Friday evening. "However, we've had some real problems with Vandalism at the beautiful Reflecting Pool." He claimed that unnamed individuals have "done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed" in an attempt to "destroy and demean our beautiful work." The 80-year-old Republican then singled out Jonathan Karl, an ABC News reporter, who he said "was seen sticking his hand into the Pool, and trying to rip the rubber off of the surface." In a broadcast segment on Friday, Karl reached into the shallow pool and grabbed a chunk of floating material. https://www.aol.com/articles/trump-now-blaming-vandalism-problems-124256000.html
