WATCH: Trump Goes Off on Reporters Over Reflecting Pool Vandalism, Says 5 Arrested and 5 Under Investigation – “You’ll See It in Court! You Write Fake News!”

President Trump went off on reporters, attempting to deny that vandals are destroying the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial and criticizing his repair project to fix the broken and filthy pond. Deranged liberals have been tearing out the new American flag blue sealant that lines the bottom of the pool with the intention of giving the water a blue reflection.

Trump walloped with damning supercut of seething MAGA stars on MS NOW

President Donald Trump's base of supporters is furious with the administration over the deal it is negotiating with the Iranian regime, as illustrated by a devastating supercut that aired on MS NOW's "The Beat" on Monday. Last weekend, the Trump administration and the Iranian regime agreed to a deal that would immediately open the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that has choked the global economy, and promised to eliminate sanctions on Iranian oil. That deal appeared to fall apart on Saturday and Sunday as Vice President JD Vance suffered what some described as a "humiliation" during peace talks with the Iranians after the country's foreign minister refused to shake Vance's hand. MS NOW's Ari Melber said on Monday that the reaction to the deal by the Make America Great Again faithful shows that it is "clear what it is and what it isn't."He played clips of several MAGA fans expressing frustration and reservations about the negotiations. "Despite all the denials, the MOU is a massive cash cow to the Iranian regime," Mark Levin said on "Fox News Sunday." "Stop cozying up to and telling us that the enemy regime in Iran is now more rational, more moderate. And a regime that we can deal with. It's a complete capitulation to the Iranian regime." Trey Gowdy, a former Republican lawmaker from South Carolina, also criticized the deal on Fox News. "They're better off than they were before the hostilities began," Gowdy said. MAGA media personality Eric Bolling also chimed in. "I hate to say this. In this deal, the biggest loser is the United States and India," Bolling said during a recent broadcast of his eponymous show.

CNN reporter surprised by developments in Trump's failed Reflecting Pool renovations

CNN's Tom Foreman reported on escalating absurdities surrounding President Donald Trump's troubled $14 million Reflecting Pool renovation. The project, quickly plagued by algae blooms and deteriorating paint, has resulted in at least five arrests for removing damaged materials from the water. Among those arrested was David Hearn, a U.S. Olympic slalom canoe competitor and material scientist, who Foreman said merely touched loose material to examine it. Foreman questioned the logic of arresting someone for touching already-damaged material while dozens of workers regularly traverse and operate equipment on the pool. The algae remain uncontrolled despite ongoing treatment efforts, with officials now considering draining and restarting the entire project. Foreman highlighted the contradiction between Trump's 2024 promise to complete renovation for under $2 million versus the $14 million actual cost, with results no better than previous attempts.Watch the video below.

Kennedy Center photos leak that Trump 'does not want anyone to see': report

Photographs smuggled out from behind tarp-covered scaffolding at the Kennedy Center reveal what President Donald Trump has spent nine days trying to hide.His name is gone.The images, first obtained by activist group Hands Off the Arts and independently verified by The Washington Post, show two rows of blank square panels on the performing arts venue's marble facade, where Trump's name had been affixed since December."This is the picture the Trump administration does not want anyone to see, so it’s all the more important … that people have an opportunity to witness when they’re winning," said Mallory Miller, co-founder of Hands Off the Arts.The name came down in the early morning hours of June 14. A 14-member crew completed the court-ordered removal around 3 a.m., hours past the judicial deadline. Rather than pull back the scaffolding and let the public see the results, the Kennedy Center left tarps and barricades up, with security guards blocking any view of the facade. A spokeswoman said the scaffolding "will remain up as crews address maintenance needs of the marble and soffit panels." The tarp cover was "starting to arouse suspicion," with some questioning whether the name had actually been removed.U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled last month that Trump's board had violated federal law when it voted to rename the venue. Only Congress, which created the Kennedy Center, has the authority to change its name.Lawyers for Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH), whose lawsuit forced the removal, accused Trump's allies on the board of willfully sabotaging the facade in "a petty act of defiance." Trump had railed against the court order on social media, vowing he had "no interest" in continuing what he called a "hopeless journey."

Trump DOJ accused of using new mandate to intentionally target Dem cities

President Donald Trump's administration is conditioning nearly $1 billion in public safety grants on local police cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, a move critics argue is designed to exclude Democratic-led cities. Approximately $700 million flows through the existing COPS grant program. NPR reports this new $300 million Model Cities Initiative will go to just two to four cities, bypassing standard competitive peer-review processes, explained Amy Solomon, senior fellow at the Council on Criminal Justice and former head of the DOJ's Office of Justice Programs.Any program that impedes or hinders federal immigration enforcement will not receive funding, according to the mandate. This includes failing to honor requests from the Department of Homeland Security. Legal experts warn the approach is highly unusual, with critics predicting only Republican-led jurisdictions will apply, allowing the administration to portray Democrats as soft on crime. Police chiefs have long opposed linking local law enforcement to immigration enforcement, citing erosion of community trust and witness cooperation. Federal data shows over 70 percent of immigrant detainees lack criminal convictions. The DOJ defended the policy, while the first Trump administration's similar tactic was previously challenged in court and reversed under Former President Joe Biden.Watch the video below.
