The Park Service says it's investigating.
But the high-profile act of vandalism comes just days before Trump is set to host an ultimate fighting championship at the White House just across the street from where the 86-47 was found.
In Israel, the Times has learned that the government is on the brink of expanding its highly controversial settlements in the West Bank.
Much of the world views settlements there as a violation of international law, and Israel's been accused of carving up territory that was long envisioned as being part of a future Palestinian state.
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government has a long-stated goal of preventing that statehood, and has authorized dozens of new settlements since taking power in 2022.
Now, according to an official familiar with the plan and a draft proposal reviewed by The Times, the Israeli government is rushing to fund around 60 more settlements in what would be one of the biggest expansions in years.
It wants this all done quickly before elections in the fall, in the hopes that it would then be harder for any future government to reverse course and remove the settlers.
The official told The Times that Netanyahu's government has been trying to keep the new effort under the radar to avoid international attention.
One Israeli activist group that opposes settlements called the move reckless, and many critics have characterized Israel's West Bank expansion strategy as a massive land grab.
The plan for the new settlements comes as there's been a surge of violence in the West Bank by Israeli settlers against Palestinians.
Extremists there have uprooted their farms, stolen their livestock, torched their cars and homes, and beaten and killed Palestinians, often with impunity.
And finally... I was at Audi Field watching a soccer game and I found one on my head.
In big cities along the East Coast, there has been an uptick in tics.
Experts say the tiny arachnids are no longer just an out-in-the-woods kind of problem.
They are now an urban issue, too.
For example, a Pennsylvania lab that tests ticks pulled from people says submissions were up 50% this year, with most coming from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
One explanation is that as cities have made an effort to have more green spaces, birds, mice, and even deer have moved in, bringing ticks with them.
But also, ticks are just becoming more and more of a problem nationwide, raising concerns about tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease and alpha-gal syndrome, where people become allergic to red meat and dairy.
The issue may only get worse from here because of climate change and warmer weather.
One epidemiologist told The Times that's because ticks that would normally die out in the winter can increasingly make it through.
