Olympian David Hearn: ‘I was just curious!’ Yeah, curious how to vandalize Trump’s pool while your Dem donor checks clear.

Family running to @MSNOWNews for the cry session. Canoe legend?

More like canoe crybaby. Touch grass—not government property, loser.

No one believes this entitled, overgrown child who can't move past his canoe days, didn't attempt to dismember the reflection pool!! It's not his, he's destroying property that doesn't belong to him. He's a ridiculous human who refuses to grow up!! #UselessIdiotHearn
