Trump has unveiled a MAGA makeover of the iconic Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool during a wild rant claiming he drew crowd sizes as big as Martin Luther Kings.
*****
But after hearing his guests sing his praises, Trump pivoted to one of his favorite topics: the beautification of Washington, D.C.
Thats where Martin Luther King gave his great speech, and he had a million people, Trump said, a reference to the civil rights leaders iconic I Have a Dream Speech, which drew an estimated 250,000 people as part of the March on Washington in 1963.
I had the same exact crowd, maybe a little bit more, but they said I had 45,000 people. I have pictures of Martin Luther Kings crowd and my crowd. The exact same everything, but it was 70 years the difference. The exact same crowd, but I actually had more people. But thats ok.

That Republicans condone and support this obscene incompetence is unforgivable. A one-way ticket to political Siberia awaits every fuckin' one of 'em. What utterly horrible, irredeemable people. They care nothing for America, only their diseased vision of a 1950's dreamscape that never actually existed.

He's going to spend a bunch of our money to fuck it up, just like all the other "projects" he's done.
