## Resource

John Oliver just didn't hold back. The 'Last Week Tonight' host took aim at former President Trump this Sunday, dissecting what he called an "absolute trainwreck" – the renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. But Oliver didn't stop there. He also dragged Fox News' Jesse Watters into the fray, exposing the bizarre conspiracy theories swirling around the D.C. landmark. It's a clash of titans over a very public, very wet, debacle.
