Seth Meyers: Trump's Pool Project Is a Puke Green Metaphor
18 Jun
Summary
- President Trump's Reflecting Pool project resulted in an algae problem.
- The pool was intended to be 'American Flag blue' but turned 'puke green'.
- Seth Meyers joked that Trump literally drained a pool to create a swamp.
During his 'A Closer Look' segment, Seth Meyers addressed President Trump's controversial renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The project, which involved a no-bid contract, aimed to make the pool 'American Flag blue.' However, the pool has since developed an algae problem, turning an unappealing 'puke green.'
Meyers found the situation to be an "obvious metaphor," jesting that his job of creating metaphors had become redundant. He humorously stated that Trump's promise to 'drain the swamp' had manifested literally by draining a pool and creating an actual swamp. Meyers also poked fun at Trump's interaction with a contractor who apparently upsold him on the paint color by calling it 'American Flag Blue.'
