🚨 NEW: Fox’s Peter Doocy just asked Jeanine Pirro if ABC’s Jonathan Karl is in trouble after President Trump called him out for ‘sticking his hand in the Reflecting Pool trying to rip the rubber off the surface.’

Who is the real vandal? Someone checking out the peeling paint or the one who awarded a no-bid government contract to an acquaintance (donor?) who did defective work?
Videos show mounted police corralling and arresting ordinary tourists with the intensity of a tactical raid. They’re carrying out these orders enthusiastically, all to shield a President from public embarrassment. This is the sort of authoritarian overreach we once insisted could never happen here. The soft tone of many reactions only underscores how much we’ve normalized the unacceptable.
Their frog costumes were unavailable. Laundry day. Nothing clean!
so, IF Trump did it.. or favored it; BY DEFINITION: it is WRONG
do i have that right?
"The political left has grown far too comfortable treating desecration as speech when the target fits its mood. "
"A named arrest was already in view, an anti-Trump marking near the site was already in public view, and law enforcement silence on every detail doesn't make vandalism imaginary. It means the public should demand facts, arrests, charges, and accountability.
If vandals touched the Reflecting Pool out of politics, boredom, contempt, or pure spite, the motive is secondary; the deed tells us enough. America's enemies don't always arrive with uniforms or manifestos. Occasionally they bring spray paint, chemicals, knives, or a hand reaching for what should've been left alone."

Beware of the emerging reflecting pool Nazis! It’s Nazi-ism, I tell you! What could be clearer? He’s really Hitler! I mean it! Literally! The camps will open any day!
So, Trump and the MAGA gullible now alleges that multiple individuals have been arrested for "vandalizing" his "beautiful" coating renovation on the Pool, and supposedly causing the proliferation of algae and the visible deterioration of the coating.
While Trump's allegations are ridiculous on their face, having introduced the judicial process into this controversy, it will provide an opportunity for a thorough and dispassionate review of the entire project.
For example, exactly what coatings were applied? Exactly what surface preparation of the underlying substrate was conducted? Under what quality procedures was the project performed? Was surface prep and coating application conducted under the supervision of a NACE-certified coating inspector? ...or a coating manufacturer's technical representative? Were the manufacturer's environmental constraints and cure times strictly observed? Are there written records to substantiate any of this?
All of the above must necessarily be answered and documented, to prove that the coating system was properly applied in the first place, before any vandalism prosecution can proceed. It seems that Kash Patel and the FBI have some homework to do.
Trump finally gets his Greenland…
IEE creates new jury instructions to prove this offense.
After the Tesla dealership firebombs and vandalism - we all learned the left are incapable of fire bombing and vandalism.
After the George Floyd billion dollar damage rage fest - we all learned the left are incapable of arson, vandalism and democratic permission structure institutionalized rage.
Kak-a-bot's Kier Starmer(D) just quit. LOL.
Bye.
It's come to the point where we need National Guard troops protecting our Public Monuments from haters who want to deface and destroy and deprive others of the intended beauty of our shared spaces.
I see some more “grand jury no-bills” in the near future. Deserved if they charge someone with pulling a bit on a loose previously torn bit of blue paint.
This is the sort of authoritarian overreach we once insisted could never happen...
First, they came for the algae worshipers, and I said nothing...
If you don’t see - regardless of all the other corruption, bad behavior, villainy in the world - that this is ugly behavior, if you’re a leader of any political party in the US and you don’t discourage your supporters from this sort of vandalism . . . there is something wrong with your thought processes. It really is a sign of mental illness.

Go-Green. Save the algae. Abort the selfie pool.
The American Revolution 250 years later has boiled down to unemployed, green haired Americans rooting for algae growth out of pure hatred and stupidity. This is just dumb. I'm sure those two idiots think Jonathan Karl is and honest reporter.
The reflecting pool doubles as a laser pointer.
Hey Lefties, Is there any reason this is a good thing to be doing or cheering on?
This is the sort of authoritarian overreach we once insisted could never happen here.
Nah dude. We saw what Nancy Pelosi did to the Capitol in 2021, and realized it did happen here.
I would appreciate them if they were actually algae groupies…
Just as a side note (I haven't watched the clips yet) - it's hilarious how IEE's 8:05 comment encapsulates the culture of rent-seeking that dominates the left.
MAGA has some very detailed ideas as to how vandals harmed the Reflecting Pool. Could it be the result of inside knowledge of what some of them did to the pool?
And what about the 8647 traced in the grass on the National Mall, presumably laid down under the watchful eye of the National Guard?
I smell false flag operations.
Touching a piece of lining floating on the surface is not vandalism. If you get your house painted and a week later you can strip the paint with your bare hands, you have a defective paint job. Trump needs to rip it all up and try again, with a different contractor.
Consider who might have a motive and the timing in connection with the 250th celebration.
The J6 cop-beating hooligans were all set to get $1M apiece on average from Trump’s $1.776B slush fund. Then the fund gets 86ed. That’s a big financial blow and crushed their dreams of how they were going to spend it. This is a crowd that has a penchant for destroying public property if they don’t get their way. Suddenly 8647 appears in the grass on the National Mall and algae appears in the Reflecting Pool.
Coincidence?
"I smell false flag operations."
A shower will probably fix that.
Public monuments are nearly always vulnerable to vandalism. I can think of lots of things that could be dumped in the reflecting pool in modest quantity that would instantly alter the chemical balance and rapidly change the wave length of the light reflecting from the surface. The result will be a public monument to the unhinged ferocity of Trump Derangement.
75% of J6 defendants did nothing violent or destructive. 20% never entered the building. Hundreds more only entered and did nothing but walk around escorted by cops. All convicted or pled rather than be ruined.
One of these nuts is eventually going to blow up the reflecting pool.
Just to clue some of you in: it's satire.
What has happened to the great Trumpy MAGA sense of humor you keep talking about?
Touching the reflection pool gets you arrested.
Touching children gets you the presidency.
MAGA!
For the love of ice-
Lying and flinging false allegations is a hallmark of Leftist authoritarianism.
Kissing babies goes way back in politics, but sniffing young girls and showering with them is relatively new to political success.
It’s almost like driving your really heavy armored presidential limo on fresh sealant and then dumping thousands of gallons of hydrogen peroxide in the pool was a bad idea.
Pouring hydrogen peroxide into the pool where the sealant hasn’t properly cured attacks and breaks down the polymer chains of the paint — causing it to bubble and lose adhesion. Thus peeling.
Kind of pythonesque absurdity
No they arr quite cereal
Lying and flinging false allegations is a hallmark of AUTORITARIANISM. Not limited to left or right.
Yes Peachy. It sounds like were on the same page. I, like you, embrace Donald J Trump creating a false, face saving narrative as to why this project was such a collossal boondoggle/failure.
It would not do MAGAt nation any good to admit that our dear leader is grasping at straws in laying blame for this.
I feel like we haven't heard enough about aunt tifa's involvement in this act of terrorism.
I smell false flag operations.
Yep. Because there's absolutely no way the left would ever resort to violence and vandalism.
"Touching the reflection pool gets you arrested."
Tell us what walking through the open doors of the capitol and taking pictures gets you.
Tell us what, attempting a coup, assaulting police officers, deficating on desks, vandalizing government property while walking through the open doors of the capitol and taking pictures gets you.
A presidential pardon and a few million bucks!
So you're not going to tell us what walking through the open doors of the capitol and taking pictures gets you, then? I can't say I'm surprised.

I don't think you know what that word means.
The brilliance of creating this tempest in a teapot about reflecting pool terrorism, is that now our man Donald J Trump can discuss something other than the massive humiliation of the US surrendering to Iran.
MAGA
well they got warranty right? You know if it doesn't do what its supposed to MONEY BACK or free redo? I would try bidding for it with reputable people since the whole rush for 250 ceremony is not happening. Somebody read the small print.How about paid passes to now see the Pool?make a buck
Just to clue some of you in: it's satire.
Riiiiiight. Satire.
Just because you're in denial over how insane your side is doesn't mean the rest of us have to go along with it.
"Reflecting Pool Algae Surges Ahead Of Kamala In 2028 Democrat Presidential Polls" ~ Babylon Bee
Microscopic inspection of the single-celled algae revealed tiny Nazi tattoos within the nucleus of each cell. Fascinating.
Donald J Trump is polling at 66% disapproval.
~Actual findings from a recent polling.
He's not running for anything.
Abraham Lincoln's estimated approval rating dropped as low as 25%. Doing the right thing to overcome institutional evils is usually unpopular at first.
Trump's main opposition is Congress and the media.
The approval rating of the U.S. Congress is 10% as of April 2026, with 86% of adults disapproving, according to the most recent Gallup polling data. This ties the record high for disapproval in the poll's 50-year history.
Public trust in the U.S. mass media has reached historic lows, with only 28% of Americans expressing a "great deal" or "fair amount" of confidence in the media.
Congress and the media's low approval is decades in the making. Trump's depends on current events and is fickle.
Yes. The grave task of alienating former allies, grifting billions of $'s from American taxpayers, putting on cage matches on the whitehouse lawn and carrying Netanyahu's water in a disasterous excursion, is as consequential as keeping the union together.
MAGA
Fortheloveoflice meets RID… film at 11.
Just like Lincoln, Trump is trying to save the country from Democrats and the racist ideas that motivated them then and now. The party of slavery never gave up it's plantation mindset.
Algae, Algae
When will those clouds all disappear?
Algae, Algae
Where will it lead us from here?
With no lovin' in our souls
And no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
Algae, Algae
You can't say we never tried
Algae, you're beautiful, yeah
But ain't it time we said goodbye?
"FortheloveofIce said...

The enthusiastic man who did those things was convicted and served his time. Rightfully so.
