Former Olympian seen in handcuffs as Trump threatens ‘years in jail’ and more arrests after vandals sabotage Reflecting Pool with ‘corrosive and destructive chemicals’ | 20 June 2026 | Donald Trump claimed protesters at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool could face “years in jail” after being arrested this weekend. Trump took to Truth Social on Friday to blame liberal vandals for the damage at the recently renovated pool, as its “American flag blue” has already begun to peel away from the bottom. The President on Saturday followed up by posting that Park Police “have arrested multiple individuals for vandalizing our Nations magnificent Reflecting Poll,” correcting his spelling to “Pool” later. He went on: “Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail!” Trump went on a longer screed against the vandals later Saturday, accusing them of using “corrosive and destructive” chemicals to ruin the pool.
