## Resource

John Oliver, never one to mince words, just delivered a brutal takedown of Washington D.C.'s iconic Reflecting Pool. On Sunday's 'Last Week Tonight,' the host likened the landmark's current state to 'sex with the Grinch'—'green, smelly.' He directly linked the decay to 'another of Trump's pet projects' unraveling. Oliver's viral comments are sparking debate: is it a fair assessment of D.C. infrastructure, or just another political jab from the Emmy-winning comedian?
