"Our Pool Is Bigger Than Skyscrapers": Trump Holds Up Chart Comparing a Flat Pool to Tall Buildings While Iran Ceasefire Collapses
In his first public appearance in a week — while ceasefire talks with Iran collapse and the House votes to end his war — Trump held up a chart in the Oval Office titled "Our Pool is Bigger than Skyscrapers" comparing the 2,030-foot length of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to the heights of the Willis Tower, the Empire State Building, and One World Trade Center. He told reporters: "If you lay it on its side, it would take two or three of them to fill it in." The White House social media account captioned the post "mogged" — internet slang from looksmaxxing culture. He showed the same chart before. The pool renovation cost $6.9 million. The war costs billions.
