🚨 BREAKING Trump drove his motorcade across the drained Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool while resurfacing work was still underway. As someone who constantly reminds us he's a "builder," he should have known exactly what that means. If leaks, blisters, delamination, cracking, or coating failures appear later, the contractor now has an obvious response: "You drove armored vehicles across our work." That's not a political argument. That's a warranty argument. Pool coatings and waterproofing systems typically come with cure requirements, traffic restrictions, and exclusions for owner-caused damage. In construction, documented heavy vehicle traffic on a freshly resurfaced system is the kind of thing contractors point to when they deny warranty claims. The irony is hard to miss. A project intended to stop leaks now has documented coating defects. And the owner created a highly public record of driving a motorcade across the very surface that was supposed to keep the water in.
