Donald Trump says he will become "Mr. Veto" if Democrats win Congress. Jimmy Fallon hears an opening for a different kind of losing-the-house joke: "Usually when Trump loses the house, it's in a divorce."

That is the approach of this Tonight Show monologue, posted before the midterm elections: take the campaign's closing arguments and turn their wording, settings and digressions into comedy. An opening compilation of rally footage prompts Fallon's verdict: "We've gone from presidential rallies to drunken best man speeches."

The title's Reflecting Pool speech arrives early, with Fallon making an attendance joke about Trump's appearance at the Lincoln Memorial site. He then moves to Trump's Mar-a-Lago Halloween party and a photograph of JD Vance dressed as Dumbledore.

The upload has reached about 1.2 million views, though this is not an unusually large audience for the channel. Its later stretch leaves the straight monologue format behind: parody "I Voted" stickers give way to "Tonight Show Polls," whose statistics are fictional setups for jokes. The closing musical edit rearranges Trump speech clips into a "Baby Got Back" parody.
