Jimmy Kimmel roasts Trumps last stand before the midterms

Jimmy Kimmel roasts Trumps last stand before the midterms

Jimmy Kimmel has reacted to Donald Trump making a pre-midterms speech about the renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

A side-by-side image shows two men in suits. The man on the left is on a talk show stage, the man on the right standing at a podium in front of a large pool.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has been an ongoing saga during Donald Trump's presidency, so it's somewhat fitting that he chose to make what Jimmy Kimmel refers to as his "last stand" before the midterm elections there.

"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 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."

"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."
