GOP analyst Sarah Matthews, a former Trump White House deputy press secretary, spoke about the president’s obsession with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool after a montage of him calling the landmark “a swimming pool on steroids” and saying about its controversial renovation, “nobody’s ever seen anything like it.”
Matthews explained, “he’s a real estate guy. He loves to build,” and “he’s looking at these little pet projects, and this is what excites him.”
However, even though Trump “probably is bored of talking about Iran. He doesn’t want to talk about inflation,” Matthews maintained, his comments “couldn’t be more tone deaf.”

As much as his renovations of the Reflecting Pool get him “jazzed up,” Matthews explained that it’s the issues that bore him that matter to everyone else.
“What the American people are actually focused on is the affordability crisis that he has only exacerbated with his choice to launch this attack on Iran and raise gas prices,” Matthews said.
