The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has been an ongoing saga<\/a> during Donald Trump’s presidency, so it’s somewhat fitting that he chose to make what Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> refers to as his “last stand” before the midterm elections<\/a> there.<\/p>\n

“Trump made his closing argument today. He chose to do that in front of his ill-fated Reflecting Pool, and where better to reassure the public that that they are in good hands than in front of a pool you’ve repeatedly botched<\/a> to the tune of $16 million. Donald Trump, the man who famously promised to drain the swamp, made his last stand at the site of his own man-made swamp,” says Kimmel in the clip above, before playing footage of Trump saying: “This is a massive piece of…er, piece of pool.”<\/p>\n

“It is indeed a massive piece of pool, when you look at the size,” says Kimmel. “I don’t know, maybe they’ll give him a Nobel Piece of Pool Prize.”<\/p>\n
