Pro-MAGA Pundit Brawls With CNN Panel Over Cost of Trump's Pool Revamp: So We Should Just Let Everything Go To Hell?'

The exchange occurred on CNN’s Table for Five on Saturday morning. Abby Phillip said the pool revamp was initially expected to cost under $2 million and asked whether it was “monopoly money.” Lydia Moynihan argued the update is well spent, citing improved safety and aesthetics and noting Obama-era spending of $35 million that still leaked. She said $13 million is “pennies” compared with Democratic proposals involving trillions. Writer Touré countered by citing Trump stopping HIV/AIDS funding in Africa and funding for feeding kids, and he argued the U.S. should prioritize childcare and other major problems over the pool.

"Well, I actually think having a beautiful capital city that people are proud of is important. And he has made it safer. He's made it more beautiful, Moynihan said. She continued on the pool topic, under Obama, it was $35 million that he invested into the pool and it still leaked like a sieve. So I think $13 million is is a lot less."
