A reporter just challenged trump on the reflecting pool fiasco

Reporter: You said the guy was gonna do the reflecting pool in a week for about a million dollars. It's been two months and $16.5 million.

Trump: Are you ready? Barack Hussein Obama

Goes on to blame it all on Obama.

Good question from the reporter. I need to a hear a follow up to trump's claim that they have pictures of the vandals. They should demand that they be shown to the public. Obviously, his word is not sufficient.

If recent history is any indication. But another journalist could have followed up.

As proof the election was stolen, the Epstein files, classified documents, and love letters from Putin!

for this supposed vandalism says he just put his hand into the water to touch the peeling paint. My guess the same applies to the others arrested for this. Trump needs scapegoats for his pool fiasco.
