With the midterms<\/a> imminent, what do we think Donald Trump<\/a> was laser-focused on in one of his final speeches? The economy? The cost of living crisis? No! As Jon Stewart recaps in the Daily Show<\/em><\/a> clip above, the president instead decided to waffle extensively about the renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool<\/a> \u2014 including a moment where Trump described it as “a massive piece of…er, pool.”<\/p>\n

“Just to be clear, that is not AI,” says Stewart. “That was not artificial intelligence or, really, I think you would agree, any kind of intelligence. That was the President of the United States, on the day before the midterms, choosing to make a speech at the Reflecting Pool \u2014 to talk about the Reflecting Pool<\/em>. No symbolism, no metaphors, just straight up pool maintenance. <\/p>\n

“That was Donald Trump’s ‘I had it cleaned’ speech, if you will.”<\/p>\n
