The Donald Trump administration is embarking on a new venture of renovating the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The president has been very insistent on how, no matter what he does, he seldom gets any “positive” coverage — so this was a great opportunity for that. But before he was even done with the announcement, he started comparing himself to Martin Luther King Jr.
Trump was again making the claim that he had the biggest crowd at the iconic D.C. location. He first claimed that he pulled a bigger crowd than Barack Obama, but that died down after Obama himself joked about it, and the world moved on to much more pressing concerns.
