Trump: Renovated water mirror has been vandalized

Donald Trump claims that the water mirror at the Lincoln Memorial has been subjected to sabotage and that the incident is being investigated by police. This is reported by CNN.

"They destroyed the grass outside the water mirror, and they have also done everything possible to destroy the inside of the surface that was just installed," Trump writes on Truth Social, without presenting any evidence.

Trump has spent the equivalent of 122 million kronor on restoring the monument and painting its bottom blue. It has since suffered from a severe algae bloom that turned the water green, and the blue paint has begun to peel.

Earlier this week, someone carved the text 8647 into the park where the water mirror is located. It is widely considered code for impeaching Donald Trump.

Book Reveals Bessent's Crude Words About Zelensky: "Like Mr. Bean on Crack"

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged Donald Trump not to invite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the infamous White House meeting in 2025, according to New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman in her new book, according to The Guardian.

Bessent, who had designed the so-called mineral agreement between the US and Ukraine, wanted the agreement to be signed before Zelensky set foot in the White House.

Bessent is also said to have spoken disparagingly about the Ukrainian president.

"I've dealt with that little bastard. He's cunning. He's like the Europeans' special needs children. And he acts like Mr. Bean on crack," Bessent is said to have said of Zelensky to people around him, according to the book.

But as history would show, it was not advice that Trump followed. In early 2025, Zelenskyy stood on the steps of the White House, without a suit and on his way into a meeting that ended prematurely after a heated exchange of words with Donald Trump and JD Vance, a confrontation that was broadcast live and received great international attention.
