President Trump speaks to reporters while departing the White House – October 6, 2026

President Trump on Tuesday gave an update on the reflecting pool, which has been undergoing repairs after vandals tore out the blue sealant lining the bottom. 

Crazed left-wingers were caught red-handed and witnessed ripping out the lining over the summer. However, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro refused to prosecute multiple individuals despite video evidence of the alleged vandalism.

Surveillance footage, previously shared by Trump, shows suspects reaching their hands into the pool and allegedly ripping out the sealant.

Because of this, the pool was drained to make necessary repairs, which Trump said are now “almost complete.” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum shared a video on X showing the pool being refilled on Sunday.

Emily Miller, an independent journalist who reported on the Reflecting Pool vandals back in June, even catching former Olympian David Hearn’s arrest on camera, asked the President on Tuesday about the ongoing refilling of the pool.

She previously shared a clip of Hearn’s arrest on X, saying he was vandalizing the pool and tried to impede workers cleaning the pool by “grabb[ing] the hose that female National Park Service workers were using to clear the algae.” Miller further said in June that a man was arrested after jumping into the pool and cutting out a “huge piece” of the sealant, among other posts exposing the vandalism.

She did more journalism than anybody in the left-wing media.

Trump on Sunday thanked Miller in a Truth Social post, calling her “absolutely fantastic” and crediting her with catching vandals “REDHANDED.”

“We are proud of the Emily Millers of the World. You keep the Artificial News on their toes. They’ll probably never be honest again, like in the old days, but at least they know we’re watching!” Trump said.

When asked by Miller on Tuesday whether he’s worried about future vandalism once the pool is refilled, Trump said, “we have it about as vandal-proof as you can get, but only sick people do that.”

“And we have their pictures… But sick people do that,” Trump continued.

“Yeah, it’s starting. I think they’re going to fill it up this week. The reflecting pool is totally complete, and we changed the old pipes. We wanted to get it open for July 4th, and now we went and got rid of all of the old pipes, which we were going to do later during the winter. We did it, and I think it’s almost complete from what I understand.”

Trump further confirmed that he plans to visit the pool once it’s completed.

He also told Miller that the grass on the National Mall, which had been vandalized by radical leftists with giant “8647” inscriptions calling for Trump’s assassination, has been replaced with new grass.
