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 King’s.

But after hearing his guests sing his praises, Trump pivoted to one of his favorite topics: the beautification of Washington, D.C.

“That’s where Martin Luther King gave his great speech, and he had a million people,” Trump said, a reference to the civil rights leader’s 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 King’s 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 that’s ok.”
