    More or less sums it up:

    On Monday afternoon, Trump told reporters it was a “350-foot slit from one end to the other.”

    “I saw it. They cut it. They cut it very violently,” he said.

    When a reporter asked to see photos, Trump said, “You’ll see it in court, but all you have to do is call the parks department, call the Department of Interior.”

    The National Park Service, U.S. Park Police and Interior Department did not immediately respond to requests from NBC News.

    I’ll be watching to see how quickly the cases against these ‘vandals’ fall apart.

      It doesn’t matter to his people.

      When the folks are released they’ll either ignore it, or blame ‘activist judges,’

      Even if the arrested are exonerated a night in jail is never a picnic.

    Green Water Solutions is owned by John J. Cafaro, who gave $250,000 to the Trump Victory Committee in June 2020, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.

    The writing this season is a little too on the nose…

    NBC News isn’t doing the world any favors with this wink-wink-nudge style of journalism.

    Yes anyone who can read between the lines can get the story but we’ve established conclusively and repeatedly that most people cannot do that.

    Among those arrested was former U.S. Olympic canoeist David “Davey” Hearn, who previously told NBC News he was detained for five hours Friday after touching a piece of detached coating at the Reflecting Pool.

    . . . Marine One was spotted Sunday flying over the area, and Trump said he had “inspected” the Reflecting Pool.
