On June 3, Fox News halted its regular programming and live-streamed President Trump's press briefing at the White House in Washington, D.C. The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool holds approximately 6,750,000 gallons of water. During the briefing, Trump held up a large board and shared a first glimpse at the newly reconstructed landmark.

Trump showcased how the pool's scale would compare with the other iconic skyscrapers, including the Empire State Building. This came after the president looked like he was 'going to pass out' during his surprise return to the Oval Office and the daughter of Trump's doctor made a bombshell confession about the president's health.

Trump said, "I just had this done! You're getting a first glimpse. That's your size compared...so those are compared to the tallest buildings in the world, including the Empire State Building, World Trade Center, and Sears Tower."

"So if you lay it on its side, you take two or three of them to fill it in. Its width is almost 200 feet wide. And actually more than 2,000, including about everything, it's 2,500 feet, in like to the end," he finished.
