Anyone believe this? [View all]

Trump today on social media when he should be concerned about the debacle he caused in Iran: "The United States Park Police have arrested multiple individuals for vandalizing our Nation's magnificent Reflecting Pool. Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail! Work will begin immediately on its repair."

In case you haven't been following, this is his way to blame his failure at the Reflecting Pool renovation on "vandals". I don't know. Color me skeptical.
