What Did Trump Say About ABC\u2019s Reporting On The Pool?<\/h2>\n

In a follow-up post<\/u> an hour later, the president lashed out at ABC News and anchor David Muir\u2019s coverage of the pool being drained for repairs. The president insisted that there was no \u201cpeeling paint\u201d but rather \u201chigh-grade colored waterproofing liner\u201d that was slashed by either a \u201cknife, or box cutter.\u201d The president\u2019s post again didn\u2019t include any evidence to back his claims of vandalism. The president also blamed the recurrence of algae blooms in the pool on purported \u201cvandals,\u201d although it\u2019s unclear how people could be responsible for a recurring issue that has plagued the pool for years. Trump has feuded with ABC and its news division for several years now and has repeatedly touted his $16 million 2024 settlement in a defamation case he filed against the network.<\/p>\n

The reflecting pool received only a brief mention from Muir on Monday\u2019s broadcast of \u201cABC World News Tonight<\/u>.\u201d He said the pool was drained again on Monday, and this was the second time this has happened in recent months. <\/p>\n
