He also initially claimed that the gash was about 250 feet, but he now says it is 350 feet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThugs,\u201d Trump told reporters on Wednesday when asked about the pool during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey (authorities) just told me a little while ago. Six have been arrested, and like six or seven are under investigation. They had pictures and everything else. They went to the bottom, and it\u2019s not a paint job, it\u2019s very expensive, it\u2019s not rubber &#8211; but it\u2019s like rubber &#8211; and they went down with probably a box cutter or a very sharp razor of some kind or knife, and they cut, and then they started ripping it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, one of the guys, he\u2019s a member or a big player to ActBlue,\u201d Trump added, referencing the Democratic Party fundraising platform. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a big Hillary supporter, he\u2019s a big supporter of Sleepy Joe Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast visited the pool on Wednesday but could not see a 350-foot gash while walking along the iconic landmark, which is not far from the steps where Martin Luther King Jr gave his historic \u201cI have a Dream\u201d speech in 1963.<\/p>\n<p>But with preparations underway for America\u2019s 250th anniversary celebrations, fresh fencing was erected around sections of the Reflecting Pool while a swathe of mobile CCTV cameras appeared across the site, adding to the already heavy security presence.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2205\">Trump\u2019s Truth Social Sinks to Embarrassing New Low<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Road closures, detours and security checkpoints stretched across the area but no arrests were observed during almost an hour at the site. <\/p>\n<p>One National Guard member stationed nearby said he had not personally witnessed any vandalism that day.<\/p>\n<p>However, visitors John and Barbara, tourists from Minnesota, told the Daily Beast they noticed an unpleasant odor coming from the water when the wind shifted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s definitely a smell when the breeze comes across,\u201d Barbara said.<\/p>\n<p>The original renovation job was given, without a competitive tender process, to a Virginia-based company that had previously carried out work on a swimming pool at one of the president\u2019s golf clubs. <\/p>\n<p>But the makeover has been derailed by two major issues: a bright green algal bloom and peeling of the pool\u2019s new, controversial \u201cAmerican Flag Blue\u201d- tinted coating. <\/p>\n<p>Trump spent weeks bragging about the renovation, which has now cost taxpayers about $14.5 million. <\/p>\n<p>At one point, the president even traveled to Wisconsin for the first time since the election to speak to struggling farmers, only to veer off into a long winded tangent about the project. He even brought them \u201cbefore and after\u201d pictures. <\/p>\n<p>The president on Wednesday floated sending people to prison for 10 years if they were found guilty of sabotage. <\/p>\n<p>He said the pool had a \u201cworld class surface\u201d until vandals \u201ccame in, and they cut it up, and they grabbed it and they pulled it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2203\">Trump Humiliation Deepens as Bombshell Book Flies Off Shelves<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re sick people, so I think they\u2019re in big trouble,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump now claims that Democrat \u201cthugs\u201d sliced up the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool with a sharp razor and has threatened up to 10 years\u2019 jail for would-be saboteurs.
