>President Donald Trump’s decision to have his motorcade drive across the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool during a high-profile inspection last month is facing renewed scrutiny, as questions mount over whether the move may have contributed to damage now plaguing the newly renovated landmark.
>Video accounts showed that Trump’s convoy drove over the drained, newly sealed basin in May as part of a tour of the project, which had been repainted “American flag blue” ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary. In the weeks that followed, the pool began showing signs of deterioration, including peeling coating. While experts and fact-checkers note that it remains unclear whether the heavy vehicles directly caused the damage, the timing has fueled debate over whether the motorcade’s weight might have compromised the freshly treated surface.
>“This is dumb and unfounded,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Newsweek about the speculation.
May have? Ya think?
“May have”-🤣
Why in the holy fuck would you drive your motorcade over the reflecting pool? Are you truly that stupid? If so, please take a swim on the nearest interstate as soon as possible. America might be better off if you did that. 😄
Didn’t he say the person responsible would get a long prison sentence?
It was every bit as stupid as when he looked at the eclipse.
That’s EXACTLY what happened. His armoured car weighs a shit tonne. There were several of them. The bottom of the pool is NOT supported for that (the water only weighs a couple of kilograms) ánd the depression the cars made pulled and ruptured the sides. It will now be forever known as Trumps Gash.
I remember a farmer parking his tractor in the reflecting pool.
Rubbish. Nothing can be the president’s fault. His drive across the reflecting pool was the most beautiful drive ever. People are saying it with tears in their eyes!
Noooo. You mean the beast drove through the middle of the pond along with all the armored SUV vehicles. And now he is blaming some poor pensioner who fished out a piece of paint. All this while the world is on the clock for the biggest oil shock in history, one that could end the age of oil but cause immense suffering in the process as crops don’t get planted and are stunted anyway from lack of fertilizer. He needs to be removed and replaced by Vance ASAP because he is not up to the job.
Trump ~~may have~~ damaged Reflecting Pool by having motorcade drive over it (FTFY)
The Beast alone weighs around 20.000 pounds (9980kgs about) from what I read once. And how many vehicles accompanied him while having a tour over the freshly laid job?? The Yes Men fucked the pool, dumb dumbs.
The current presidential state car, nicknamed “The Beast,” weighs between 15,000 to 20,000 pounds. It is built on a heavily modified platform from a Chevrolet Kodiak, a heavy-duty General Motors truck.
What could possibly go wrong? Along with a full motorcade of cars. The surface was not prepared correctly, the “paint” was not applied correctly, it was not cured correctly before the orange idiot drove on it, and it still wasn’t cured when filled with water. The darker color caused more heat and therefore more algae… then they added hydrogen peroxide, which is known to remove paint. All on a no bid contract to one of Trump’s donors.
Trumps Gash!!! That is awesome. It’s what it should be called until he leaves office and is fixed by a competent administration
Kind of symbolic, isn’t it?
Da-fuck!? They really did this? Why the fuck would anyone do this? Trump couldn’t get into a golf cart and tour it on the sidewalk? They had to send a caravan of 8-10 cars to drive over it?
~~May have~~
This is true, Trump and his caravan of cars drove over the new liner of the DC Reflecting Pool. Charges need to be placed on him for destroying federal property! Those liners will not hold up to a caravan of two ton cars/trucks/firetruck/ambulance. He needs to beade to pay for it repaired out of his pocket!
Which this was a ignorant move on his part. It’s like running cars over a swimming pool. Trump’s blaming people for damaging the liner. Defecting is what he does.
