Тэрээр сонгогчдод хандах сүүлийн үгэндээ Вашингтон хотын дурсгалт газруудыг шинэчлэх ажлаа онцлохоор төлөвлөжээ.
АНУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Дональд Трамп даваа гарагт Линкольны дурсгалын цогцолборын Тусгалт усан сангийн дэргэд үг хэлж, сонгуулийн өмнөх есөн цахим сурталчилгааны арга хэмжээнд оролцох хуваарьтай байв. Цагаан ордны албан тушаалтны мэдээлснээр, тэрээр нийслэлийн дурсгалт газруудыг шинэчлэх ажлынхаа талаар ярихаар уг газрыг сонгожээ.
Усан сангийн засвар энэ онд маргаан дагуулсан бөгөөд 14 сая ам.долларын өртөгтэй ажил бүтэлгүйтсэний улмаас ёроолын цэнхэр бүрхүүл хууларч, усанд замаг урган ногоорсон байна. Холбооны прокурорууд шүүхэд доторлогоог буруу суурилуулсан нь гэмтлийн шалтгаан болсон гэж мэдэгдсэн ч Трамп эвдэн сүйтгэлээс болсон гэх байр сууриа илэрхийлсээр байв; уг хэргээр буруутгагдсан Дэвид Хирн гэм буруугүй нь тогтоогджээ.
Трамп засвар дууссан гэж мэдэгдсэн ч усан сан хэдэн сарын турш засвартай байж, олон нийтийн эсэргүүцэлтэй тулгарсны дараа дахин усгүйжүүлэхээр хаагдсан байна. Тэрээр сонгуулийн сурталчилгааны үеэр усан сан 1922 онд байгуулагдсан ч “хэзээ ч хэвийн ажиллаж байгаагүй” гэж хэлжээ.
Сонгуулийн өмнө Цагаан ордон Трампын хоёр дахь бүрэн эрхийн хугацаанд биелүүлсэн гэх 127 амлалтаа танилцуулж, эмийн үнэ, автомашины даатгал болон хүнсний бүтээгдэхүүний үнэ буурсныг онцолсон байна. Гэвч санал асуулгад оролцогчдын 73 хувь амьжиргааны өртгийн чиглэлийг буруу гэж үзсэн бөгөөд ойролцоогоор 10 хүн тутмын долоо нь Трампын энэ асуудлыг зохицуулж буй байдал хүлээлтээс муу гэж хариулжээ; мөн Вашингтон дахь шинэчлэлийн төслүүдэд 65 хувь нь сөргөөр хандсан байна.

In pictures: Reflection Pool protests, fences and algae blooms
President Donald Trump has claimed that work on the Reflecting Pool is now complete. But the landmark has endured months of repair work, protests from the public and was then sealed off so it could be drained again.

White House releases list of ‘127 promises made, promises kept’ by Trump
In a last ditch attempt to appeal to voters, the White House has released a list of what it claims are “127 promises made, promises kept” from President Donald Trump’s second term.
Affordability and financial concerns have consistently ranked as the most pressing concerns for voters in this election.
On the campaign trail, Trump promised: “I will rapidly drive prices down and we will make America affordable again.”
The White House claims he achieved this, touting lower prices for prescription drugs, car insurance and groceries.
“President Trump is the only President to actually lower prescription drug prices, which just saw their sharpest drop in 63 years,” the White House said in a release. “Car insurance costs have also fallen since February and grocery prices declined in September — with the year-over-year increase in grocery prices now lower than the Fed’s target rate.”
In the poll, 73 percent of voters said their cost of living was heading in the wrong direction. About 7 in 10 Americans say Trump’s handling of the cost of living has been “worse than expected.”

Americans don’t approve of Trump’s renovation efforts
Trump has made it his mission to remodel landmarks in Washington, D.C., putting his own stamp on the nation’s capital.
But his renovation projects have not gone down well with Americans.
At the height of the Reflecting Pool controversy in the summer, a Washington Post/Ipsos poll revealed that 65 percent of respondents reacted to his plans negatively.
The poll asked about the Reflecting Pool, the construction on the White House ballroom, and Trump’s 250ft archway near the Arlington National Cemetery.
Of those, 65 percent, 38 percent were “upset” by the projects.
51 percent thought the president had a “different goal” other than making the city more beautiful, with 42 percent saying it was to “glorify himself,” and 22 percent saying it was to “leave his mark.”

Inside Haley Stevens’ last-minute endorsement switch
Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens’ stunning last-minute endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s Senate race blindsided some of her closest friends, rocked her party two days out from Election Day and left the GOP feeling “euphoric.”
But Stevens’ anger at Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive Democratic nominee who beat her in the primary by less than 1 percentage point, had been simmering away for months, according to friends and people close to her.
Their opposing views on Israel, and Stevens feeling shut out of El-Sayed’s campaign, are at the heart of the “deeply personal” conflict between the two Democrats, which has overshadowed the final few days of the campaign in Michigan.

Trump claims Reflecting Pool ‘hasn’t worked ever’
Trump has complained about the drama surrounding the Reflecting Pool renovation on the campaign trail – even standing by his claim that vandals destroyed it, despite federal prosecutors telling a court a botched installation of the lining was responsible.
“Even the Reflecting Pool, you hear the fake news. So much fake news. It was built in 1922, and it hasn’t worked ever,” Trump claimed at a campaign event in Perry, Georgia, last week. “It’s the longest swimming pool in history. It goes all the way from Lincoln to George Washington, covers the whole territory and it always leaked.”
“And we had tremendous vandalism. And we had it pretty well, but we’re gonna undo it anyway because we had to the pipes. We wanted to get it done for July 4 temporarily.”
You’ll have to tune in at 2 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. GMT to find out if he brings it up again.

Trump’s Election Eve schedule
It’s Election Eve and President Donald Trump’s schedule is packed with nine telerallies and an in-person speech at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
Trump is due to deliver his final pitch to voters at the iconic Washington, D.C. site at 2 p.m. ET.
The Reflecting Pool has been chosen because the president plans to address his efforts to renovate landmarks across the nation’s capital, a White House official told Axios.
It has been the scene of controversy this year after a $14 million botched repair job resulted in the “American flag blue” coating to peel off the bottom of the pool. Algae blooms also turned the water green.
Trump made baseless claims of vandalism that didn’t hold up in court.
The pool has been largely sealed off from the public this year.

Concern mounting for Haley Stevens after GOP endorsement
Haley Stevens gave a disastrous interview to Anderson Cooper on CNN Sunday night in which she struggled to explain her sudden decision to walk away from Abdul El-Sayed.
Her performance has sparked concern among fellow Democrats, with Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell describing it as “one of the most painful interviews I’ve ever watched.”
Joe Sommerlad has the details.
