MS NOW’s Chris Hayes on Monday laughed out loud at Donald Trump’s attempted spin on the algae and peeling paint now plaguing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, just days after the president’s $14 million renovation project.

Trump has blamed the problems on “vandalism” — claiming people “went in there with a knife” and also dumped fertilizer in the water to create the algae — but has offered zero evidence to support the claims.

Hayes was quick to point out what he saw as the absurdity of the explanation and mockingly imagined an elaborate sabotage plot.

Trump is “claiming that saboteurs, I don’t know, under the cover of night, maybe antifa super soldiers, outfitted in scuba gear, climbing on their bellies with box cutters cutting a 250-foot-long gash in the pool’s bottom that Trump previously claimed was uncuttable,” he joked.

“This is insane. This is madness. No one’s dumping things in the reflecting pool to grow algae. It’s their own incompetent, corrupt failures blooming for all the world to see, cracking and floating to the surface. All of it.”

It’s “just the most literal manifestation of how these people go about everything,” he added. “And now they have to create this dark conspiracy and use the force of law to pursue it. These people are desperately seeking someone else to blame for Trump’s malfeasance.”
