So, Motorcade In The Reflecting Pool

Did anyone even stop to think-
Those motorcade vehicles were not simple dropped in there from helicopters...
They were driven from the White House!
Now what are the chances that some sharp fragment from Washington streets
could have gotten lodged in the tire treads, oh I'm sure advisors checked over
each and every tire on the motorcade vehicles before this disrespectful stunt.
That's a lotta tires...

... without occupants. That alone was enough to destroy the delicate still-drying paint, even with no blades embedded in the tires.

"The Beast," the official presidential state car of the U.S. President, weighs between 15,000 and 20,000 pounds (approx. 7.5 to 10 tons)

With a caption that says "Arrest the vandals" but that's beyond my capabilities these days.

Get those vehicles in and out of the pool? Did they have to put ramps up for that? Those ramps could have cut the material too.

Fucking imbeciles.

And assumed they just drove straight over the pool side walls. I can't see a mob of bogans like that waiting to proceed down a little ramp.

To be sure of how they got in there. Looking at pictures of the pool, there don't seem to be recesses in the walls to have anything driven into it. Unless there are some that nobody ever sees.

But if Dump wanted to inspect the work, I'm guessing there were ramps installed. He spares no expense - as long as we're footing the bill.
