                    "In a rambling and ranting Truth Social post Monday, President Donald Trump said the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is now \u201c70% filled with water and looking good\u201d \u2014 and warned that anyone who damages it \u201cwill GO TO JAIL.\u201dEven though federal prosecutors appointed by Trump himself have told a court that the pool\u2019s lining the first go-round was ruined by a botched installation \u2014 and not by humans looking to cause havoc \u2014 the president threatened the imaginary vandals in a post in which he continued to insist that previous damage to the lining his hand-picked contractor attempted to install last spring was real.He also attacked the Justice Department\u2019s admission that it was contractor error as \u201cthe ridiculous writings of some Radical Left person in the D.C. U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office who got it wrong and obviously didn\u2019t investigate, witness, or see the attached tape,\u201d referencing a segment on Fox News host Jesse Watters\u2019 eponymous show, a clip of which he included with the social media missive. Trump also repeated a dubious claim that someone had poisoned the grass on the Mall to spell out \u201c86 47\u201d \u2014 slang for removing the 47th president, or, in his interpretation, a call to assassination \u2014 in letters \u201c90 feet tall and encompassing the width of the entire Park,\u201d and said that grass has since been replaced. He offered no evidence for that claim, and the 65-second video attached to the post did not appear to show it. \u2018Washington\u2019s beautiful Reflecting Pool, which was badly damaged by Vandals despite the ridiculous writings of some Radical Left person in the D.C. U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office who got it wrong and obviously didn\u2019t investigate, witness, or see the attached tape, or the very inspiring Jesse Watters show which explained it all,\u2019 Trump ranted in his post. No Kings protesters are pictured at the partially filled pool over the weekend (Reuters)Much of the National Mall\u2019s grass surface has needed repair in recent months, but those repairs were necessitated by damage caused by structures erected for the president\u2019s \u201cGreat American State Fair\u201d earlier this year.Trump continued to suggest that the pool\u2019s problems predated his renovation. \u201cInterestingly, the Reflecting Pool has not worked properly since it was built in 1922 \u2014 It always leaked! This will be different, but any Vandals that try to prove the point otherwise, will GO TO JAIL!\u201d he wrote. \u201cWe are watching very closely, and security cameras have been installed.\u201dWashington, D.C. US Attorney Jeanine Pirro \u2014 herself a former Fox presenter \u2014 brought the only criminal case over the damage in July, when it accused David Hearn, a 67-year-old former Olympic canoeist, of \u201cforcefully and violently\u201d ripping out the liner. Within weeks prosecutors had dropped the charges and conceded in a court filing that the \u201cAmerican flag blue\u201d coating Trump requested had started peeling \u201calmost immediately\u201d after it went on. The Interior Department, they wrote, had \u201cprovided less than fulsome information at the outset of this case,\u201d and it was only after Hearn was indicted that the agency determined the \u201cdamage was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism.\u201dTrump responded by publicly urging Pirro to \u201crevisit her hastily made decision.\u201d A judge then blocked prosecutors from charging Hearn a second time, citing the likelihood of \u201cpolitical pressure\u201d from the president, and earlier this month D.C. Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman threw the case out for good, describing the prospect of another prosecution as \u201csimply fanciful.\u201dEarlier this month, Trump told reporters the work on the famous water feature was almost \u2014 finally \u2014 finished.\u2018This will be different, but any Vandals that try to prove the point otherwise, will GO TO JAIL! We are watching very closely, and security cameras have been installed,\u2019 Trump warned (Reuters)Workers are seen re-spraying the reflecting pool after yet another set of repairs (AP)\u200b\u201cI think they\u2019re going to fill it up this week. The Reflecting Pool is totally complete, and we changed the old pipes,\u201d he said. \u201cWe wanted to get open for July Fourth, and now we went and got rid of all of the old pipes, which we were going to do later during the winter.\u201cWe did it, and I think it\u2019s almost complete,\u201d Trump added.Last week, the process of refilling the pool began, with a sign posted there informing visitors: \u201cThe Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is being refilled as the National Park Service and contractors put the final touches on a historic effort to clean, repair, and beautify this iconic national landmark. As part of the normal refilling process, the water may temporarily appear cloudy before clearing.\u201dA 75-page failure analysis commissioned by the contractor that did the work, Atlantic Industrial Coatings, found that the liner had failed in at least 85 places after crews refilled the pool before the coating had set, a rush driven by Trump\u2019s demand that the job be finished for the July 4 celebration of the nation\u2019s 250th birthday. The coating buckled along eight of the basin\u2019s 10 expansion joints and blistered in nearly 40 spots where moisture or fumes got trapped beneath it. Vandalism is not mentioned anywhere in the report.The president originally said the renovation could be done quickly for about $1.5 million. The cost is now close to $20 million, much of it paid out through no-bid contracts. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in July that no new contracts would be awarded after spending passed $17 million, but the National Park Service handed out a $2.7 million contract for water treatment work the following month.Hearn\u2019s lawyers have asked the Justice and Interior departments to open an independent investigation. In a statement last week they said the administration \u201csubjected an innocent man to a nightmare of wrongful arrest, felony indictment, and public defamation to cover up their own botched, rushed renovation of the Reflecting Pool.\u201d"
