Trump Blames Reflecting Pool Paint Failure on Vandals, Offers No Proof

The paint is peeling from Washington’s Reflecting Pool just months after a renovation ordered by President Donald Trump. Trump now claims the damage is due to vandalism, but he has not provided any evidence to support that assertion. The Reflecting Pool, a landmark on the National Mall, was repainted as part of a project Trump personally championed. Officials have not confirmed any reports of vandalism, and the cause of the peeling remains unclear.
