Donald Trump on Sunday said vandals are to blame for large swaths of dead grass on the National Mall near the World War II Memorial — in the same spot where Trump had a stage built and hosted crowds for his July 4 celebration.

Trump made the accusation in a social media post without saying why he believes it’s the work of vandals instead of trampled turf from the Independence Day festivities. He posted a photo showing a once-grassy area by the World War II Memorial, now patchy and brown across much of the sprawling turf.

“Look what VANDALS did to the grass connecting the vandalized World War II Monument and the vandalized Reflecting Pool, which will be opened again, and better than ever, shortly,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform.

    For some reason I’m reminded of that crazy lady that was the GF of Junior screaming to an empty room about how the “best is yet to COME!!!”

    Whatever happened to that crazy lady, anyway? 🤔

    Oh right, she was used up and cast aside like a used Kleenex…

      They split in 2024, but she got “being the ambassador to Greece” out of it.

        Yeah, maybe a softer landing than most of his former insiders get, I suppose. Still, probably orchestrated to get her away and out of the picture w/o her writing some tell-all book…
