President Trump Decries Latest Damage Caused By ‘Vandals’ In Nation’s Capital

“Look what VANDALS did to the grass connecting the vandalized World War II Monument and the vandalized Reflecting Pool, which will be opened again, and better than ever, shortly,” he wrote.

“Anybody who thinks the Reflecting Pool wasn’t vandalized should go back to Law School,” the president added.

The comment came days after U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s announcement of charges against Melissa L. Farris, who was accused of vandalizing the World War II Memorial after “Clean hands dirty $” was found written in graffiti on the monument.

Trump is telling the truth. Everything going wrong IS leftwing vandals. True or not, let's imagine that it is.

So why isn't Trump preventing the vandalism? Why isn't he getting actual evidence? Why not focus on steps to fix & prevent it?

And why no Epstein convictions?

It's absolutely heartbreaking the amount of energy it takes to fight Trump, instead of just going along with it. Nobody went out and vandalized anything when the auto pen I mean, sleepy Joe was in office!

Felony charges in that case are being brought against Melissa Farris, according to Pirro.

Charging documents in that case do not mention the once-grassy area Trump referred to in his new social media post. Authorities said Farris was previously arrested for camping on federal property a few blocks from the World War II Memorial, but not the spot referenced by Trump.
