Jimmy Kimmel used Donald Trump’s speech at the renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as the target of a joke about the president’s final push before the midterm elections. Kimmel described the appearance as Trump’s “last stand” and pointed to the pool’s troubled history during his presidency.
In his monologue, Kimmel questioned the choice of venue, referring to reported work on the pool that had gone wrong and cost $16 million. He also compared Trump’s appearance there with the president’s well-known promise to “drain the swamp.”
The segment included footage of Trump stumbling over his description of the site, calling it a “massive piece of... piece of pool.” Kimmel followed up by joking that Trump might receive a “Nobel Piece of Pool Prize.”
