Anyone believe this?

Trump today on social media when he should be concerned about the debacle he caused in Iran: "The United States Park Police have arrested multiple individuals for vandalizing our Nation's magnificent Reflecting Pool. Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail! Work will begin immediately on its repair."

In case you haven't been following, this is his way to blame his failure at the Reflecting Pool renovation on "vandals". I don't know. Color me skeptical.

I can believe how utterly stupid you are

Obviously, DU doesn't want us talking about the vandalism committed by their political ilk, but they're also engaging in a way of thinking that says "you aren't allowed to address smaller problems when there are bigger problems".

This seems fallacious to me. Is there a name for it?

Just because you hate the man for no real reason other than he’s trying to make life better for you and all the rest of us Americans it’s no reason to take your head out on a national property or monuments in our buildings. I can’t believe you people are like that, but I guess you are.
