Authorities have announced that six separate vandals have been arrested and seven have been issued citations for their work in destroying the Pool. President Donald Trump announced that a 350 foot gash was caused by an individual with a knife who ripped the sealant “probably in the dark of night.”
Trump has assured concerned citizens that the damage will be repaired in time for the America 250 celebrations on July 4.
