Donald Trump says grass has a life like humans during Washington remarks

U.S. President Donald Trump addressed reporters in the Oval Office, commenting on recent vandalism at the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall. He claimed the grass there "has a life like humans" and described how the lawn had been damaged with a powerful substance and cut with a knife. Trump said the work to replace the grass is nearly finished and the area will look "beautiful" once completed.

The remarks linked the vandalism to a message against the president, citing the number 8647 observed on the lawn. Trump did not identify the substance used, stating it would only give people ideas. The comments were reported by Italian news outlets.
