#HeadlineTherapy Trump administration drops Reflecting Pool vandalism charge and admits ‘botched’ repairs

Thank you to Max Matza and Kwasi Gyamfi Asiedu and BBC Online News for the Headline

What a relief to know that the Whitehouse have the same difficulties dealing with tradespeople as we all do.

A former Olympian has had charges dropped against him having being accused of ‘vandalising’ the Reflecting Pool having stopped while riding by on his bicycle and noticing bits of blue plasticised paint protruding from the green water. Mistakenly, he was accused of pulling at some of the liner and was immediately arrested.

However, Court documents that are now filed say that the information “strongly suggests that a rushed and botched installation” job overseen by the US Department of the Interior led to the damage.

David Hearn, the champion canoeist wants an apology from the President and is upset at the trauma he has suffered at having a potential jail sentence of ten years hanging over his head for the last few months. It’s not clear what has happened to the other people who were charged with vandalism.

Amusing to find out that Trump himself chose the contractor and also he did not let anyone else bid for the job , so the DOI were working with their hands tied and also being forced to get the job done quickly to beautify Washington prior to the 4th July 250th Anniversary Celebrations.

I wonder how the ballroom is doing?

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
