美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)周日表示，将“立即”开始修复林肯纪念堂(Lincoln Memorial)倒影池剥落的衬里，一名政府官员证实，至少有五人因与该池有关的故意破坏指控而被捕。
“修复严重破坏的倒影池的工作将立即开始，”特朗普在Truth Social的一篇帖子中说，并声称自己刚刚检查过。
特朗普说，他“只能对自己和聚集在我周围的人说，哇，谁会做这样的事?生病的，精神错乱的人，”补充道，“我们会解决它。”
一名政府官员周日表示，截至周六晚上，已有五人因故意破坏行为被捕，另有五人被传唤。
倒影池已经被困扰在特朗普政府完成翻新后的几天里，海藻和剥落的油漆费用超过1600万美元，比估计费用多400万美元。
游客们在周末纷纷涌向游泳池，一些人在社交媒体上发布了展示藻类和剥落油漆的照片和视频。
周六，特朗普在Truth Social的一篇帖子中声称，倒影池的彩绘表面被化学物质破坏了。
在后续的社交媒体帖子中，特朗普表示，反思池可能需要部分排水，以修复剥落的衬里，他再次声称，没有证据，这是故意破坏造成的。
“我们今天会见了承包商，可能会被迫释放和排出大量水，以进行必要的维修，但会尽快完成，”特朗普谈到游泳池的状况。
大西洋工业涂料公司(Atlantic Industry Coatings)完成了价值1450万美元的内衬安装工作，该公司在周日的一份声明中证实，为了完成维修，反光池需要排水，这项工作将包含在项目保修范围内。
特朗普在他的帖子中提到了国家广场上用草标记的巨型“86 47”，并声称“腐蚀性和破坏性的化学物质”被破坏者倒入游泳池，导致衬里剥落。
总统还声称，有人“用某种形式的刀或刀片，在花了这么多工作、能力和金钱建造和完成的美丽门面上划了一个250英尺长的口子。”
不清楚他指的是倒影池的内壁，还是对另一座纪念碑的破坏。
特朗普说:“这些可怕的破坏者的所作所为是对乔治·华盛顿总统和亚伯拉罕·林肯总统的真正冒犯，应该得到相应的处理。”
对于特朗普在帖子中提到的任何逮捕问题，美国公园警方没有立即回应美国广播公司新闻。
在他宣布逮捕的几个小时前，特朗普分享了《每日邮报》的一篇文章，内容是周五一名男子在倒影池附近被捕，后来被确认为三次参加美国奥运会的大卫·赫恩。
赫恩告诉美国广播公司新闻，警方于周五逮捕了他，因为他触摸了一块从底部部分脱落的蓝色涂层林肯纪念堂倒影池.
赫恩否认损坏了水池，他说，“我没有移走，我没有损坏，我没有撕裂，撕裂，打破，破坏或伤害倒影池的任何部分，”赫恩说。
国家公园管理局还没有回复请求从美国广播公司新闻关于赫恩的逮捕或任何其他人。
Trump says Reflecting Pool repairs will begin 'immediately' after vandalism arrests
President Donald Trump said Sunday that work would begin "immediately" to repair the peeling lining at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, as an administration official confirmed that at least five people have been arrested on vandalism charges related to the pool.
"Work will begin immediately on fixing the seriously vandalized Reflecting Pool," Trump said in a post on Truth Social, claiming to have just inspected it himself.
Trump said that he "could only say to myself, and those gathered around me, WOW, who would do such a thing? SICK, DERANGED PEOPLE," adding, "we will fix it."
An administration official said on Sunday that as of Saturday night, five individuals had been arrested for vandalism, and five others had been issued citations.
The Reflecting Pool has beenplaguedwith algae and peeling paint in the days since the Trump administration completed the renovation, whichcostmore than $16 million, and was $4 million more than the estimated cost.
Visitors have been flocking to the pool over the weekend and some have taken to social media with photos and videos showing the algae and peeling paint.
On Saturday, Trump claimed in a post on Truth Social that the painted surface of the Reflecting Pool had been sabotaged with chemicals.
In a follow-up social media post, Trump said the Reflecting Pool would likely need to be partially drained to repair the peeling lining, which he once again claimed, without evidence, was damaged by intentional sabotage.
"We met with contractors today, will probably be forced to release and drain much of the water in order to do the necessary repairs, but will have them done as quickly as possible," Trump said of the pool's condition.
Atlantic Industry Coatings, which completed the $14.5 million job to install the lining, confirmed in a statement on Sunday that the Reflecting Pool would need to be drained to complete repairs and work would be covered under the project warranty.
In his post, Trump referenced the giant "86 47" marked in grass on the National Mall and claimed that "corrosive and destructive chemicals" were poured into the pool by vandals, causing the lining to peel.
The president also alleged that someone "took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, competence, and money to build and complete."
It was not clear if he was referring to the lining of the Reflecting Pool, or to damage to another monument.
"What these terrible Vandals have done is a true affront to both Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and should be dealt with accordingly," Trump said.
The U.S. Park Police did not immediately respond to ABC News to questions about any of the arrests referenced by Trump in his post.
Hours before he made his announcement of the arrests, Trump shared a Daily Mail article about an arrest Friday of a man near the Reflecting Pool, who was later identified as three-time U.S. Olympian David Hearn.
Hearn told ABC News that police arrested him on Friday after he touched a piece of blue coating that was partially detached from the bottom of theLincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
Hearn denied damaging the pool, saying, "I did not remove, I did not damage, I did not rip, tear, break, destroy or harm any part of the Reflecting Pool," Hearn said.
The National Park Service has not replied to a requestfrom ABC News about Hearn's arrest or any others.
