Trump keeps talking about "grass which was destroyed."

WTF is he talking about ? It is part of his “vandals destroyed the reflecting pool” riff but the only destroyed grass was on the South Lawn from his gladiator fight. Why is the MSM not calling him out on this obvious lie?

1. Probably about the '86 47' that showed up, barely visible, on the Mall grass near the Reflecting Pool

This silly thing might be where he got the idea of blaming his FUBAR work on the pool on vandals

A little extra water and it should be fine. Unlike the South Lawn, where a big patch of grass is toast from his gladiatior ring.

5. He has to make a fuss about this minor damage to keep people's attention OFF the mess he made of South Lawn

I hope nobody uses tiny drones to replicate that over any golf courses.
