It Was Vandals!

BASH: The president's armored motorcade of SUVs, which can weigh up to 20,000 pounds, drove across that new coating of the reflecting pool. Could that have damaged it?

BURGUM: No. There was no damage that night whatsoever. pic.twitter.com/EI2Xh476Ft

With box cutters!

STEPHANOPOULOS: The president has repeatedly claimed vandals cut a 350 foot gash in the pool. That claim is echoed in a legal filing by your department. What evidence do you have?

BURGUM: Ah, well we have the actual cuts that were made

STEPHANOPOULOS: There's a 350 foot gash?

BURGUM: Well it's multiple gashes that add up to 350 feet

Big, strong boxcutters! With tears in their eyes!

The President had also said that it can never be cut - it's indestructible; and it was for this reason that he had sought millions. As usual, Trump lied. pic.twitter.com/ywKW3p3x4g

Are we sure 10 tons couldn’t do it?

BASH: “You have pics of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the bottom of the reflecting pool?”

BURGUM: “I’m not sure why you and the media keep questioning it.” 😂

How adorable — @SecretaryBurgum 🤡 is still trying to sell us Trump’s lie that the Reflecting Pool was vandalized pic.twitter.com/bsvEdrfkxn
