“It was a picture-perfect setting for the closing argument of a contentious campaign season. But when President Trump stepped up to a lectern in front of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool on Monday afternoon, he had another matter on his mind: rusty pipes,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
Said Trump: “The pipes were very old and in bad shape. The pipes now are totally renovated. They’re brand new pipes.”
“The president’s nearly hourlong speech, which some White House officials pitched as a capstone to a flurry of midterm election rallies, centered on the many construction projects and renovations Trump has overseen during his second term. He talked about cleaning up graffiti, fixing fountains and monuments, and resodding the National Mall.”
Mother Jones: On the eve of the midterms Trump’s closing argument is about algae.
