@washingtonpost Probably because of invisible Antifa Scuba Ninjas armed with boxcutters and definitely not because of a parade of vehicles, including a 20,000lb armored car, driving over the uncured surface on a sightseeing tour.
@CNN Agreed. Who could have possibly damaged a 350 ft section of pool surface? Maybe Antifa Scuba Ninjas who snuck in somehow to the 24/7 monitored pool? Will this mystery ever be solved?
@idreesali114 Yes, because the vandals are probably the people who notice little bits of floating debris in the pool and pick it up, not the guy who drove a parade of vehicles including a 20,000lb armored car over the uncured pool surface.
No need to look into that guy. He won't get prison.
@dieworkwear Great Idea!
Or maybe a giant in-ground LED screen that plays video of crystal-clear blue water, only occasionally interrupted by ads for some sports wagering site.
@Angry_Staffer So many Trump endeavors. Iran, health care, Kennedy Center, reflecting pool...
1. Destroy/degrade something in the name of improving it.
2. Claim victory.
3. Blame others when people notice it's worse than it was before.
4. Go to step 1.
This is Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago neighbor John Cafaro who got the no-bid contract to install a water purification system for the reflecting pool. He has 2 prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress and another for an illegal loan that violated campaign finance laws.
NEW from @nytimes: What did the Iran war that the US and Israel started cost Americans, Iranians, Israelis and many others? More than 7,000 people have been killed in Iran and Lebanon, along with 13 US military members. The cost to the US is at least $132 billion, Moody's said.
