35. Vandals are not...

... generally known to be very intelligent creatures. But then, neither is Trump. He just added a new word to his lexicon of insults, and is spewing it at every possible opportunity. Like "Dum" without the "B" that nobody but him even knew was part of the word.
But more to the point, how would anyone, vandal or not, manage to introduce an algae that could spread from even several source points to encompass an area of water that is more than 2,000 feet long, 167 feet wide, roughly 2 feet deep, and contains nearly 7 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER?!!? And cover that vast area in a matter of days? Yeah, I don't believe it, either. And neither should anyone with the common sense of an old gym sock.
Trump is a pathological liar. That's an irrefutable fact. Trump never, ever accepts responsibility for anything. That's an irrefutable fact. He'd carve his own eyes out with a rusty spoon before he'd ever admit he was wrong about anything. That's an irrefutable fact. No vandal, or group of vandals, could fuck up the Reflecting Pool faster than Trump himself already did. That's an irrefutable fact. He has vandalized more government property in a shorter period of time than anyone in living memory. THAT IS AN IRREFUTABLE FACT!
