Saturday, June 06, 2026

A clip from President Donald Trump's Friday agriculture roundtable in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, spread quickly online, with critics saying it showed the president struggling to recall the name of the Washington Monument. The video, shared by liberal account Acyn, shows Trump holding up a picture of his Reflecting Pool renovation. "It was going to take four years, $400 million. It took really about a month, ok? Can you imagine? Washington, between Lincoln " think of Washington, D.C. between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington ... think about this," the president said, stammering. "You know that beautiful spire in honor of the great George Washington? And the beautiful Lincoln Memorial. So between there, thousands of feet long. It was built in 1922, and to be honest, it never really worked. It leaked like a sieve."
