A screen cap from Fox News, with the Chyron "NOW: TRUMP SPEAKS FROM WHITE HOUSE." Trump is holding up a poster titled "Our Pool is Bigger than Skyscrapers" that compares the Reflecting Pool (2,030 ft) to major American skyscrapers, from the Sears Tower at 1,451 ft to One World Trade Center at 1,776 ft). 

The scale compared to the Y axis is, naturally enough, wrong, with 2,030 ft shown as more like 2,300 or 2,500 ft).

I still cannot believe this is the guy for whom Republicans destroyed our constitutional democracy.

Yes, the scale of the Y axis doesn’t align with the stated length of the Reflecting Pool. No, you’re not the only one who wonders if the gender imagery here might not be what Trump intended.

Via Matthew Gertz, who also provides the full video. Which is somehow even dumber than you might expect.

Ok fine here's the video. "They just had this done, you're getting the first glimpse of it."— Matthew Gertz (@mattgertz.bsky.social) 2026-06-03T21:01:48.603Z

This is your reminder that the LGM’s fundraiser is almost done. I probably stepped on some posts by putting this up here, but I hope everyone agrees that I had no other choice.
