    I don’t get it. The Lincoln Memorial is on the wrong side of the reflecting pool and apparently Belgium has decided to take the fall for Trump’s botched maintenance?

        I gathered that from the football kit. The drawing is sending mixed messages. It’s like it’s supposed to be insulting because pissing on a national monument but somebody else already desecrated it so that switches the sense to either being on Trump’s side or being too late to the party.

          You’re taking it too literal.

          It’s just a “oops I didn’t know this wasn’t a urinal - looked like other people already peed in it”. This statue is real and is permanently peeing (facing the camera) in Belgium.

          It’s paraphrasing that the USA team’s arrogance during this tournament, but mostly the orange pedophile having a sudden opinion about something he completely doesn’t understand. It’s laughing at actions taken despite complete ignorance and arrogance.

          But mostly it’s just a delicious cartoon that echoes the world’s sentiment really well and works even if you don’t know the backstory of the pool or the peeing dude.
