Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday mocked President Donald Trump for a $14 million Reflecting Pool makeover that ultimately didn't change much of anything.
"Not even a week later, it's already completely green," Kimmel said as he showed footage of the pool, which Trump ordered painted "American flag blue," now green with algae.
"Experts are saying that when Trump had it painted dark blue, he made the problem worse, because the darker color retains more heat and algae thrives in warmer water," Kimmel pointed out. "You know, he promised he would drain the swamp. Instead, he spent 14 million of our dollars building a new one."
