On Sunday night, John Oliver took aim at Trump’s sparsely attended Great American State Fair before focusing his ire on Trump’s other recent catastrophe: the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

“Trump’s renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool continues to be an absolute trainwreck,” offered the “Last Week Tonight” host. “It’s been plagued by enormous pools of algae, large chunks of blue sealant have been peeling off and just this week, a trio of dead ducks were discovered there, prompted a spokesperson for the Center of Biological Diversity to say Trump was ‘wasting taxpayer money turning the reflecting pool into a giant duck death trap.’”
