Trump was visiting a Mack Truck facility in the swing state of Pennsylvania when he was pressed to respond to his vandalism allegations.<\/p>\n

“You mentioned yesterday that the Interior Department has video and photos. We reached out to them, and they haven’t shared it with us,” the reporter said, asking Trump to comment.<\/p>\n

“They will share it,” Trump said. “They’ve arrested I think six people on the reflecting pool. So, the reflecting pool looks fantastic. I’ve just got pictures of it, it’s beautiful. But somebody went in with a knife and cut it, they cut it up good. They made a 200-350 foot slit, in the form of lots of little slips, real, horrible stuff. And they destroyed the grass.”<\/p>\n

“It’s all being fixed,” Trump said. “It’s a shame.”<\/p>\n

People online commented \u2014 and questioned \u2014 Trump’s remarks.<\/p>\n

“350 feet is longer than a football field. Someone cutting that long of a gash in the bottom of a concrete pool would need sophisticated equipment and have to do it in SCUBA gear. It’s completely insane,” journalist and conspiracy theory expert Mike Rothschild wrote on X.<\/p>\n

“How is this incompetent fool expected to win and end a war and strengthen the economy when he can\u2019t even handle the Reflecting Pool rehab?” Director and writer Andy Ostroy wrote on X. <\/p>\n

“I love that it was 200 feet, then it was 300 feet, then it was 350 feet. I wonder how big his estimation will get,” Daniel Kelley, editor in chief of sports ranking group FTN Fantasy, wrote on X.<\/p>\n

“As full of s— as the pool is of algae,” actor Geoff McGivern from “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” wrote on X.<\/p>\n
