Donald Trump floated putting his own name on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Monday as he wound up his midterm campaign in front of a few dozen seated supporters.
‘Today, I’m thrilled to announce the official opening of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool,’ the president said from a platform at the foot of the memorial, adding that he was giving ‘serious thought’ to rebranding it the ‘Trump Reflecting Pool.’
He said the announcement would land on Tuesday and that Interior Secretary Doug Burgum would ‘have a lot of fun’ making it, then delivered the tag: ‘Now, I’m only kidding.’
