Trump, 80, Insults His Own Goon in Unhinged Ragepost

Kylie Cooper / REUTERS Donald Trump launched a thinly veiled dig at his own handpicked MAGA prosecutor, Jeanine Pirro, in a Truth Social ragepost.

Pirro, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia since May last year, is in the president’s bad books for her failure to prosecute former U.S.

Olympian David Hearn for alleged vandalism to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Pirro, one of many former Fox News hosts in the Trump administration, initially gunned for Hearn, blaming him for ripping up some of the lining Trump had laid to try to meet a July 4 deadline for his $16 million renovation of the D.C. landmark.

It is also the same spot where Trump hosted crowds for a Fourth of July celebration, with a large bandstand and seating areas.

After the structures were removed, photos showed the same browning grass Trump now blames on bad actors.

Even still, Trump used it to swipe at Pirro, adding, “Anybody who thinks the Reflecting Pool wasn’t vandalized should go back to Law School!” His digs come despite U.S.

Attorney General Todd Blanche’s insistence that Trump supports Pirro.

“I absolutely support U.S.

Attorney Pirro, as does President Trump,” Blanche said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” just hours before the president’s Truth Social broadside.

Blanche also risked Trump’s ire, saying, “That’s different than whether ultimately we have the proof...
