A "fence" around Trump's lies...

Reportedly, they have put a fence around the Reflection Pool at the Lincoln Memorial?

Why?

Because they do not want people to see that there is no 350-ft cut in the lining, as Trump has claimed.

Just as he did with the tarp at the JFK Center, where he covered up his embarrassment, he is doing something similar at the Reflection pool.

So long as he can cover it up, he believes he can continue to lie. Look at all the damage the "vandals" have done to our beautiful reflecting pool, he says.

But if you get too close, you are threatened with arrest.

The lies have poisoned America.

He has torn up the Tennessee flagstone that was in the walkway from the White House. He is putting in some fancy foreign marble. I'm sure it will be beautiful.
