I have no idea if they were involved in these two acts but I have
no doubt Trump's plants have been involved in other incidents.

He had a Town Hall televised at the Lincoln Memorial and didn't he lay a wreath at the WWII Memorial recently?

It just seems odd to me that he just had photo ops at both of those memorials and yesterday he makes a comment that both were defaced.

burned into their brains. Fox News sponsored the Town Hall at Lincoln Memorial. They also want to show Trump as being supportive of veterans.

Again - those two monuments were singled out by Trump as being defaced - is that coincidence?
