Trump Blames Vandals for Damaged Grass

More from the article ...

... "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?

@#11 ... Has he figured out who vandalized the East Wing of the White House? ...

Good question.

@#17

fwiw, at the time I first heard that song on the local college station, Ms Massey was called the "Egg Lady."

But still a fun song ...

:)

@#19 ... Now that's funny. ...

Presuming you are referring to my #17, yeah.

Back in the day when I first heard the song on the local college station. I just laughed.

And, fwiw, back then, Ms Massey was referred to as "Egg Lady."

... May 1982. Ronald Reagan is U.S. President. Late Night with David Letterman debuts. "I Love Rock n' Roll" covered by Maryland's own Joan Jett & the Blackhearts is the hot pop single. And John Waters is packing midnight movie houses with audiences drawn to his singularly shocking style of alt-films.

We are high school seniors at St. Paul's School for Girls, one of Baltimore's all-girls prep schools, buddied up in journalism class, and assigned one last article before graduating"a profile of a local celebrity.

Instead of our classmates' more staid interview subjects, we decide to go big and bold with Edith "Edie" Massey. Leader of an all-girl punk rock band, Edie and the Eggs. Smutty greeting card model. Most famously, actress in a series of Waters' dark comedies. A campy character deeply entrenched in Baltimore's underground arts scene.

Little do we know that ours would be the last interview the Egg Lady (her character, Divine's mother, in Pink Flamingos) would give before her death two years later in 1984. ...
