Man Who Wrecked Reflecting Pool Asks: 'Who Would Do Such A Thing?'

President Donald Trump is pointing fingers at random passersby for allegedly vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. We know who the real vandal is.

"The United States Park Police have arrested multiple individuals for vandalizing our Nations magnificent Reflecting Poll [sic]," Trump posted on Truth Social Saturday.

On Friday, a former Olympic canoeist was arrested and hit with a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government property for allegedly vandalizing the reflecting pool — a charge he denies.

"I didn't destroy or break or peel anything," said David Hearns, 67. "By the time I realized what was going on, I was being put in handcuffs."

Maybe it isn't perfect, but it isn't broken, either.

Enter Donald Trump.

Now the thing is FUBAR, and even if the thing can be recovered the cost will be astronomical.

I'm not great with acronyms, but here is TAFEU: Trump Always Fucks Everything Up.
