Trump Issues 10-Year Prison Sentence Warning as Reflecting Pool Hit by Another Blow
Trump said the law will be fully enforced as authorities investigate damage to a $14 million Reflecting Pool restoration and related arrests.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump warned that a "10 year prison sentence" awaits those who vandalize the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, following weekend arrests of individuals allegedly damaging the landmark's recent American flag blue coating.
- Trump's $14 million restoration project awarded a no-bid contract to Greenwater Services, but costs ballooned from $1.7 million as algae returned and paint began peeling shortly after completion, contradicting his claim the coating would last "40 or 50 years."
- Authorities arrested at least five people, including 67-year-old Olympian David Hearn of Bethesda, for allegedly touching the pool's peeling paint; Trump claims vandals carved a 300 foot long gash and burned "86 47" into the National Mall grass.
- While the administration blames "mysterious vandals," reports indicate the paint was already peeling before arrests, and experts previously warned that ignoring leaky pipes would allow algae to return, rendering the waterproofed floor invisible.
- Critics argue the focus on vandalism distracts from the administration's "Ponzi Scheme of Chaos" regarding the $1.7 million initial contract that ballooned to more than $14 million, raising scrutiny over oversight of Republican Party loyalists involved.
