Trump's claims that the Reflecting Pool's issues were caused by a vandal who managed to slash a supposed gash the length of a football field into the pool without being seen by a single tourist or law enforcement officer is absurd on its face. Despite dozens of reporters, influencers, and thousands of tourists venturing to the Reflecting Pool in the last days to check out the algae-infested, sloughing mess in…
