    Not sure why the media isn’t mentioning this in every article about the pool. This happened right after the non-compete contractor coated the pool. I think it was the day after. Trump decided to take his motorcade through it.

    President Donald Trump took an unannounced trip to the Lincoln Memorial to see the Reflecting Pool after he had it coated in a color he calls “American flag blue.” He did more than just see it — the president was driven across the new coating before he got out of his SUV to make a statement. The new blue coating will hide the pool’s gray stone, a color Trump said was “never good.” The project cost nearly $2 million, he said.

      I would love to see a photo of Trump’s motorcade driving over the pool appear in one of the filings for this case, just for kicks.

      Then the plaintiff Donald Trump should be found guilty of terrorism, lol idk i’m not a judge.

    Last I heard the judge hadn’t decided yet whether the current dismissal of the case would be “with prejudice”, which would prevent reopening it. Presumably his lawyers will be bringing statements like this to the judge’s attention to further drive home the argument that this is deliberate persecution.
