Your Attention to This Matter

CRAZY IS AS CRAZY DOES: Nothing seems urgent this morning so we are going to mostly take the morning off.
But we thought we would share that the President of the United States, who presides over a war he started and can’t end, is still hawking his story that the failure of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool renovation is the result of vandalism, not shoddy work by a company that didn’t know what it was doing in a rush to meet a July 4th deadline, as determined by the Justice Department.
Charges of vandalism against a handful of people arrested just for being curious about floating pieces of blue bottom coating have been dropped.
There is no failure or responsibility in the world of Donald Trump, only blame and escape. Ove the weekend President Donald J. Trump posted the following:
“ALERT: A National Park Service career employee, a highly credible witness, saw David Hearn (ActBlue) in broad daylight vandalize the Reflecting Pool by “violently” ripping and tugging at the Pool’s somewhat delicate coating. The National Park Service employee provided this witness testimony to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in early July, as seen below. Numerous other events took place, including using an acid like material on the just installed grass adjoining the Pool. On it were written the letters, “86 47,” a phrase probably gotten from James Comey. There was substantial other damage to the Reflecting Pool, also but, unfortunately, there is no video or proof, other than the damage, itself. We are working on the Pool, and it will reopen shortly. As with many jobs, there was also some contractor error done by rushing the job for a July 4th opening, but it was a very small area of this massive Pool, and was relatively inconsequential. Security cameras have been, and are being, installed. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
He’s right about one thing. You really should pay attention to this matter.
