President Donald Trump took to social media Monday to warn Americans against vandalizing his beautification projects in Washington, D.C., threatening those who “even attempt” to destroy “such things” with a decade behind bars.
“Of the MANY Statues and Fountains that we rebuilt, renovated, cleaned, and fixed, the only one that was Vandalized was the Reflecting Pool, which is being taken care of, ASAP!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, repeating a claim that’s been disputed by critics.
“It has been given a 300 foot long gash, chemicals have been illegally placed in the water, and the beautiful new grass field has been destroyed with a gigantic 86 47 chemically carved into it (Probably inspired by Dirty Cop, James Comey!). Please remember that there is a 10 year prison sentence for the destruction, or even the attempted destruction, of such things – Which will be fully enforced!”
Trump’s $14 million Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool restoration project has become a headache for the administration when, just days after the project’s completion, a sea of green algae returned to the iconic pool along with what appeared to be the president’s “American flag blue” paint peeling off the pool’s floor.
One man was arrested by law enforcement last weekend for allegedly touching the pool’s water, the second known enforcement action in recent days.
