Panicked Trump, 80, Spins Wild Tale When Cornered on Pool Slime [View all]

President Donald Trump has sought to blame his botched Reflecting Pool renovations on unidentified saboteurs he claims entered the pool with a box cutter and began slicing it up.

The 80-year-old president insisted on Monday that the collapse of his much-hyped project wasn't the result of bad planning, questionable contracting, or a giant blue-painted basin baking in Washington's summer heat.

Instead, he claims vandals entered the iconic Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and sliced a massive gash into its new lining.

What's more, Trump says he has proof—he just won't show anybody.
