For more evidence that there's a major mental health crisis in this country that goes by the name of Trump Derangement Syndrome, we need look no further than the Left's reaction to the president's effort to clean up the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
The disorder is so strong that pro-algae protesters are now a thing:

Finally, somebody's fighting back against Big Chlorine!
There's also been vandalism taking place. Apparently there's no better way to anger DC lefties than by attempting to clean up national monuments and dramatically lower the crime rate. @EmilyMiller has been documenting what's going on:

CNN did it too, not surprisingly:
President Donald Trump claimed the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was intentionally vandalized and said law enforcement is actively investigating, as the administration has scrambled to fix the pool's recent deterioration just days after Trump's nearly $15 million renovation.… pic.twitter.com/yzr2nNaiTW

Trump "said law enforcement is actively investigating" but I'm pretty sure CNN won't be.
