... "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 said on his Truth Social platform. "Anybody who thinks the Reflecting Pool wasn't vandalized should go back to Law School!" he added. Trump has repeatedly blamed vandals for damage to his renovation projects in the nation's capital, often without evidence and sometimes despite opposing accounts from his officials. Trump lashed out at U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro this month after her office concluded that damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was the result of poor construction and not the work of vandals, as Trump claimed. ...

@#1 ... Look what VANDALS did to the grass ... Anybody who thinks the Reflecting Pool wasn't vandalized should go back to Law School! ...
I agree, those two areas were vandalized.
The grass area, the rally that Pres Trump held there trampled and killed the grass.
Pres Trump's motorcade driving over the Reflecting Pool.
Why is Pres Trump trying to blame others (without evidence) for the damage he likely caused?

Everything Trump destroys is blamed on vandals.
Has he figured out who vandalized the East Wing of the White House?
The Republican Party is the party of zero personal responsibility.

" The Republican Party is the party of zero personal responsibility."
On the contrary, they ARE The Party of Personal Responsibility.
But, only and always, SOMEONE ELSE's responsibility, and never their own.

It's always some other person's responsibility!
