The whole island is 22% the size of the 50 states combined. Which isn't small by any stretch, but, yeah. Trump probably made up his mind that it was as huge as it looks on a Mercator projection while sitting in a classroom as a kid and nobody has been able to convince him otherwise. Because that would mean he was WRONG, a concept with which pathological narcissists don't truck.

He probably thinks so-called "globes" showing its size accurately are a Democrat Hoax!!1!
