I guess lots of people thought this was the Washington Monument, but there would be more things closer to it if it were.

That is a bad picture and old, so thought it might be before the built up area in DC.

A clearer picture would be a bonus.

Actually pretty easy, just look at the background

I do not see a star. Very bad picture to have to identify something with. I went with the landscape, and was right.
Rob Farr
A lucky guess ... I went by the background of the picture .... thanks for an interesting explanation to a trivia question that I had no idea about.

Ben Totuous. After he lose he will probably go back to his hole and croak because the defeat will be a devastating blow to his big ole ego. I don't think that we are ready to go to war with North Korea. Trump will put us there with his big mouth. He'll get us all killed.

Patricia Saturday Kerutis Dawson, no bigger laugh than Trump after he loses. Right now sensible people are too scared of the imbecile having the nuclear launch codes to laugh. He could incite WWIII just for fun with one of his irrational tweets.
He will become a hermit after he loses. Too much vanity to concede or admit defeat.

James Poli, you seemed to care enough to comment. Loser.
