President Trump has blamed the appearance of swathes of dead grass at the National Mall on “vandals.”
On Truth Social, Trump shared an aerial image of the grass at the National Mall which appeared to have large, dead patches in the same area that he held his July 4 celebration.
“Look what VANDALS did to the grass connecting the vandalized World War II Monument and the vandalized Reflecting Pool, which will be opened again, and better than ever, shortly,” Trump wrote on Sunday night. “Anybody who thinks the Reflecting Pool wasn’t vandalized should go back to Law School!”
I have relatives who honestly think the reflecting pool was vandalized after hearing people on Newsmax and other far-right platforms parroting Trump. People like that believe anything Trump says at face value.
