So after spending upwards of $14 million on the unnecessary undertaking, it is likely going to cost millions more to repair the damage that Trump caused. And in the meantime, Trump is blaming the problems, for which he was solely responsible, on imaginary vandals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70197\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s US Attorney in DC, Jeanine Pirro, Threatens Journalist for \u2018Vandalizing\u2019 Reflecting Pool<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Making matters worse, Fox News is running stories on the Swamp Pool that make no sense at all. On an episode of Fox&#8217;s <em>&#8220;Big Weekend Show,&#8221;<\/em> They had a segment on what they called the <em>&#8220;MEDIA OBSESSION,&#8221;<\/em> over Trump&#8217;s miserable makeover.

(With a bonus shot of a &#34;MUSHROOM DICK MESSIAH&#34; poster).Wait up&#8230;Who&#39;s obsessed? Trump&#39;s been all over this for weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg?ref_src=embed\">News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/post\/3moujtae3z22z?ref_src=embed\">2026-06-22T09:05:41.803Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>No one with a rational perspective of Trump&#8217;s reoccupation of the White House will argue with the sentiment on the protester&#8217;s sign. However, everything else in the Fox News story was preposterous.<\/p>\n<p>It is Trump who has been obsessed with the Reflection Pool and his <em>&#8220;mutilization&#8221;<\/em> (his word) of it. He has been bringing out a giant poster of the Pool during press avails, on totally unrelated matters, that show that the length of the Pool is greater than the height of several tall buildings. To which a sane observer would ask, <em>&#8220;So what?&#8221;<\/em> But he apparently thinks it&#8217;s important enough to interrupt discussions of everything from his illegal war against Iran (that he&#8217;s losing), to the state of the U.S. economy (that&#8217;s he&#8217;s wrecking).<\/p>\n<p>In addition to putting the Pool con job front and center at every public event Trump attends, he is posting about it relentlessly on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70107\" target=\"_blank\">his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>. Among the comments he posted are baseless claims that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/39422\" target=\"_blank\">vandals sabotaged the Pool<\/a><\/strong>, for which he doesn&#8217;t bother to provide any evidence. Bear in mind that there are dozens of cameras all around the Pool, so if there was any vandalism, there would be ample proof of it.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/39417\" target=\"_blank\">another comment<\/a><\/strong> Trump asked <em>&#8220;who would do such a thing? SICK, DERANGED PEOPLE!&#8221;<\/em> And with a curious question mark also seemed to be asking <em>&#8220;We will fix it?&#8221;<\/em> And he also announced that <em>&#8220;Many additional people have been arrested having to do with the disgraceful Vandalism of our beautiful Reflecting Pool.&#8221;<\/em> Once again, there is zero evidence of that. But that hasn&#8217;t deterred Trump from threatening many years in prison for the mythical miscreants.<\/p>\n<p>If anyone is truly interested in apprehending and punishing the person(s) responsible for defiling the Reflecting Pool, here is a tip: He currently resides and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., although he spends quite a bit of time at a fancy resort in Palm Beach, Florida called Mar-a-Lago. Let&#8217;s see if the authorities can track down this malignant, anti-American perpetrator.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70192\" target=\"_blank\">RATPUBLICAN TRUMP Posts Two Polls on Truth Social Asking Truly DUMB (With a B) Questions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70050\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Humiliates Himself in a Hysterical Interview By His Daughter-in-Law Lara Trump on Fox News<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70039\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Warns Against Giving the Nuclear Codes to Mentally Declining Presidents \u2013 Like Trump?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The continuing saga of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. has taken a firm hold on the limited attention spans of Donald Trump and his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News.
