I'm not sure I agree a hundred percent with your police work about vandals there, Lou.

Here is a Newsweek article about and photo of John Cafaro, an of-course-sleazy long-time Trump donor and neighbor of his at Mar-A-Lago. The photo of him was taken as he left U.S. District Court in Cleveland, because of course it was. In 2021, he pleaded guilty to bribing former Congressman James Traficant Jr., an Ohio Democrat. In 2020, he pleaded guilty to a campaign finance crime.

In a beautiful twist, the contracting company he owns, which was awarded a $1.7 million no-bid contract for a water purification system for the Reflecting Pool, is called Greenwater. Mission accomplished!

Or perhaps—is it just possible?—that the freshly-applied, still-wet, blue Rhino-liner coating of the Reflecting Pool might have been ever-so- slightly compromised by Trump driving his motorcade over it?

"Just weeks before President Donald Trump blamed knife-wielding vandals for the peeling paint at the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, his own motorcade drove straight across it.

On May 7, Trump visited the drained pool to inspect the fresh "American Flag Blue" coating he had ordered. To get there, his motorcade, including the roughly 20,000-pound presidential limousine and armored SUVs, rolled across the pool floor while the new surface was still being applied. The moment was captured by multiple outlets, and White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung posted a video of the motorcade with the caption "they see me rolling!" (1)

NBC footage shows the vehicles crossing a seemingly wet patch and leaving tire marks behind (2)."
