Summary
President Donald Trump is blaming vandals for damaged grass on the National Mall near the World War II Memorial, where he hosted a 4th of July celebration. Trump shared a photo of the damaged grass, but did not provide evidence to support his claim. The area was previously used for a large stage and seating for the celebration, and photos show workers removing the structures, revealing brown and damaged grass underneath. Trump has repeatedly blamed vandals for damage to his renovation projects in Washington, D.C., often without evidence.
