America has been embarrassed.

The title of world's tallest tower came to America in 1884 and never left until 1998 and has been gone since. The tallest tower in the US is the Freedom Tower (1,776 ft.), tallest in the world is the Burj Khalifa (2,717 ft.), and under construction is The Tower At Dubai Creek Harbor (3,911 ft.).

We should be the first country to ever break the one vertical mile mark (5,2780 ft.) (President Trump tried to build the world's tallest tower in Manhattan in October '85).

Make construction a semi public works project, employ tens of thousands of veterans for everything from welding to dumpster hauling, and make the tower house the Veterans Affairs Headquarters.

It will be a global 'canary in the mine' to remind the international community that America is back.
