        Not a waste of time however! Though that may not have suited our first president, I think it may yet suit another!

        I was giving a tour around DC when an Israeli tourist jumped up pointing at the Washington Monument with an accusing shrill, “How did the Egyptians do it,” pointing to the Obelisk!

        The Trump Colossus— which will dwarf the Washington Monument in both size and scope— will reflect no such concerns for modesty...

        Obv a different scale, but nation’s first GW monument (Baltimore) looks a lot like this drawing.

        Sorry, but when I saw this image, my mind immediately went to a proposal that President Trump might put forward as a monument to himself.
