Trump made his closing argument today. He chose to do that in front of his ill -fated reflecting pool. And we're better to reassure the public 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, standing victoriously in front of this hard -won pond like the soldiers who triumphed at Iwo Jima. This has been, this is a massive piece of, piece of pool. There's never been anything like when you look at the sign. Right, it is, it is indeed a massive piece of pool when you look at the sign.
