To be fair, it was fucked up before him. He just spent 14 million to not fix it at all and pay his friends to paint it which was never needed and made the problem worse.
I feel like wearing a shirt critical of Trump and walking past the reflecting pool right now might be an effective way to bait a federal thug into doing something you could sue the government over.
IANAL, but it's a hypothetical (and a joke). If you get charged with vandalizing the pool or beaten for no other reason than wearing a shirt, you could probably win that lawsuit. There's a lot of things they could do to 'punish' you that you couldn't win a lawsuit over, like detaining.
My mom died in early 2024, and my sister and I are still in a legal battle for her bank account against the cult she was a member of. Her bank account had my sister and I listed as beneficiaries, and the will made no mention of the cult that would override that, and yet the cult was still able to put a freeze on the accounts and fight us for over 2 years and $50k in legal fees so far, just because they made an unfounded claim to the money. If a bunch of idiots who think vaccines have tracking chips in them can do that, I imagine the government can do a lot more.
4 cops saw you "pouring a liquid into the pool".
Their witness accounts don't match up and 3 of them were on the other side of the city at the time, but the judge believes them anyway.
Everyone and anyone willing to uphold this country’s military with their service at this point is nothing other than a dog of the state. Soulless, mindless, tools of the regime, and fucking cowards to boot, every single fucking one of them.
Yeah, they were threatening to arrest a reporter for the Swedish national TV who was doing a story and touched the water as a part of it.
A new low among some truly low lows
Why do they always call it "reflecting", I thought it was full of algae? Not from the US so maybe I just don't understand your national symbols.
It’s normally a pool that’s made to reflect the Washington Monument, but Trump is a giant fucking grifter who fucked it all up
To be fair, it was fucked up before him. He just spent 14 million to not fix it at all and pay his friends to paint it which was never needed and made the problem worse.
True, I’m betting half of that 14 million got kicked back to Trump as well as
Who's doing the real reflecting?

Sue and lose.

The Federal government has to allow you to sue them. Soverign Immunity is what it's called, and it applies to most countries in some form.

Wasn't it Xerxes who had the sea whipped?
Caligula did declare a war against it, though.
Yeah, Xerxes.
On what authority can they do this? Has it always been a crime to touch the reflecting pool?
Its a national monument, which have rules about "removing materials" in the law protecting them.
Its a pretty thin offense, and this is a wild over reaction, which is always a facists favorite move when they are wrong in a very visible way.
That is at least a law, waste of resources calling the national guard in, but that could be worse.
So to clarify the meme is referring to people removing the floating bits of liner and not simply touching the water
Wouldn't want someone to mess it up!
Is the government really blaming the algae on saboteurs, or was that a joke?
Trump did blame “vandals” on ripping up the blue paint material from the bottom of the pool.
Yes, really. It’s pathetic.
No. And i could see someone doing that. There are a ton of crazies out there.
Yeah, the entire Trumpf cabinet.
Why would they stop people from touching it? Like that’s gonna fix the issue lol
People are probably sneaking the algae little snacks.
Anyone who dares touch it are clearly people who are vandals.
— d j t probably
I think they're stopping them from picking out pieces of the liner that are floating in it.
Chomo Caligula
