Trump's final speech went completely OFF THE RAILS

[0:00] Donald Trump gave his final major speech before Election Day and he decided to do it at the [0:05] reflecting pool. And he mostly talked about algae and slits in his rubber that someone made to the [0:15] liner of the reflecting pool. Who thought that this was a good idea? Who? Oh, and also he might [0:22] be building a sidewalk, which he calls a promenade. This is one of the strangest closing arguments I [0:29] can ever remember from a sitting president Trump at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool. [0:33] And remember, this is the last thing he's doing this and a couple interviews before the election [0:39] where Republicans are facing the possibility of losing control of the House, losing control of [0:44] the Senate. You would think this is the perfect opportunity to make a really focused argument [0:48] about the victories you've delivered to the American people on economy, health care, affordability. [0:53] Obviously, he hasn't delivered any victories, but he could at least say that he has and that [0:57] Republicans have done this and that. Instead, here is what we got from Donald Trump. [1:03] Speaker 4. We've achieved more in less than two years than any administration in American history, [1:07] and I've kept every single promise I made except far more. I've actually kept far more promises than [1:14] I made. We've done much more than I promised. Speaker 1 00. How do you keep more promises [1:21] than you've made? What what is what does that mean? Exactly. He kept every single promise he made [1:27] and he kept some promises he didn't mean. He wants credit for fulfilling promises he never made. [1:33] But you know what's really funny? He's kind of right in a sense, like he never promised to screw [1:38] up the economy, but he delivered that. He never promised to start more nine months, [1:43] nine month wars in the Middle East, but he delivered on that anyway. So I guess in some weird sense, [1:48] he has certainly given us things we weren't expecting, except we kind of were expecting them if [1:52] you were paying attention to what he said. Now, then the speech gets really weird. Remember, [1:56] final pitch to voters. He did it to about 60 people at the Lincoln Reflecting Pool. Trump pulls out [2:06] exhibits, I guess I would call them visual aids, and he starts explaining the rejecting pool, [2:14] the rejecting pool, the reflecting pool project, which, of course, has been a complete and total mess. [2:19] Over budget problems with the liner algae. They tried blaming vandalism, even though there was no [2:25] vandalism. Trump has decided this is what he wants to talk about right before Election Day. Take a look [2:29] at this. Dear God, Biden era right after it didn't work. They closed it down for two years. They spent [2:38] a fortune. They just spent money after money after money. By the way, it's not true that the Biden [2:43] administration closed it down for two years and spent a ton of money on it. Look, it's not an easy [2:48] thing. The algae is brutal. It forms easily. And we haven't I don't think you'll see too much. We have [2:55] great equipment in there. That just doesn't happen. But the greens, that's not grass. That's algae that [3:01] it took over the entire pool. Speaker 1 Well, thank you so much. I had really been [3:04] wondering about that as I was thinking of who to vote for. Had it been grass, I would have voted one [3:09] way. But because it's only algae, I'm going to vote a different way. Think about whether this is a [3:13] relatable closing message. You know, I've been really spending time looking at photographs of the [3:18] reflecting pool and trying to figure out is the green stuff grass or is the green stuff algae. But [3:24] fortunately, Donald Trump and his closing message to me as a voter has cleared that up. It's algae [3:28] and it's absolutely fantastic. Now, remember, they've had major problems with the algae like [3:32] this isn't even really relevant to the election other than being a reminder of how Trump is focused [3:38] on fixing problems that he to a degree created and which have no bearing at all on the economics of [3:47] the average household. Then Trump decides to make a major larger statement about national unity. [3:55] We are going to stop the hate and was treated with a lot of love. Then it was treated with a lot of [4:01] hate. And we've got to stop the hate because they came in and should never have done what they did. And [4:09] despite all that we went through, the reflecting pool right now looks better than it ever looked. And [4:15] it is if you thought that Donald Trump was finally issuing a message of unity, we're going to stop [4:20] the hate. He's talking about the reflecting pool. He's talking about we are going to end the hate [4:27] that people have for the things that I'm doing, like the reflecting pool. That's what he is talking [4:32] about. The Democratic closing argument has mostly been people are struggling with costs, including [4:38] health care and their everyday lives and energy and groceries. And and the Republican president's closing [4:44] argument is we're going to end the hate associated with an algae filled pool. That is where we are [4:52] today. And then we get to what is maybe my favorite part of the entire speech, where Trump makes a big [4:57] announcement. If you think you're getting five grand, you're not. If you think that we are finally going [5:04] to go back to a period of the United States being widely respected. No, no, no, no, no. Trump will be [5:11] building a promenade. It's basically a sidewalk, basically a walkway. Beautiful. I think it'll be [5:18] one of the great it'll compare to that in that it'll be one of the great things we've ever done. [5:23] We're also going to be doing working with Doug and Greg and all of the great people. And we're also going [5:28] to be doing right behind us, right behind us. You know, the Lincoln Memorial was supposed to be [5:34] fronting on the Potomac River, but it never got there because they started building roads back there. [5:40] And we're going to be doing a promenade, which is a beautiful project. It's a flat project. [5:46] It's not going to impede. It's basically a walkway down to the water. And so we call it a promenade. [5:53] And that's going to have great. It's a great architectural concept, simple and beautiful and [5:59] white stone. Yeah. And you'll be able to then walk to white stone. You should be using black onyx. [6:06] Okay. So he's announcing basically a sidewalk, a walkway. He's calling it a promenade. It's a [6:11] great architectural concept and you'll be able to walk. He's standing there explaining to the [6:17] American people, if you build a walkway, people can walk on it. That is what Trump is focused on, [6:23] on the eve of midterm elections, where his entire party may be sent packing from controlling either the [6:29] House or Senate. And I'm fine maintaining national parks and monuments. It's fine. I just don't need [6:36] the president involved in it and getting his vendors and contractors, no bid contracts, [6:41] the reflecting pool. Let's have a nice reflecting pool, a walkway so you could find like I I'm in [6:46] favor of walking. Sure. I bipedal locomotion is something I support as a way for humans to move around. [6:53] But can we get like a little bit of perspective here? We've got millions of Americans voting, [6:57] people with legitimate concerns about their finances and the war and where the country is [7:01] headed. And this, you know, Timmy is going to school and getting a surgery and coming home as [7:05] Tammy, which Trump is insisting is happening and we have no proof of. He could have spoken to any of [7:10] the real concerns for the American people and he could have spent this whole thing making the argument [7:14] for why Republicans deserve two more years. We got a presentation about pipes, algae and a fascinating [7:22] new technology called the sidewalk. Who in the White House thought it was a brilliant final speech? [7:27] Probably nobody. This is probably the sort of thing Trump becomes fixated on by himself [7:31] and decides to execute. My guess is if you're a Republican running in a competitive district trying [7:37] to figure out what do I tell the constituents that I did so that they will vote for me, you're probably [7:43] not thrilled to see that this is how Donald Trump is spending the final day before the election. [7:49] Speaker 1 of 17 [8:05] built for the shore made for the season. Their fall lineup takes the same comfort [8:11] that has earned them thousands of five star swim reviews and brings it to easy layers, [8:16] pants, flannels, hoodies and more. I got the shell Henley, the Black Rover crew neck [8:24] and the denim pant in deep sea wash. The Henley is soft, easy to layer. The crew neck is a go to [8:31] as it gets cooler. I like that the denim is comfortable without looking too casual. [8:36] Fair Harbor also focuses on recycled materials.
