very distracting

Donald Trump has canceled the summit with North Korea, which is consistent with my pessimism that anything meaningful was going to happen (although, for what it's worth, the blog ROK Drop argues that Trump has "flipped the script" on Kim Jong-un, a sentiment that Styx echoes... this may be right, but I plan to wait and see). Strangely, despite the important goings-on, I find myself distracted by a minor point: Donald Trump's signature, as it appears on the letter he sent to Kim Jong-un, looks disturbingly like the spiky, angular architecture of the US Air Force Academy's famous chapel. Here—see for yourself.

You can't un-see it once you've seen it. Uncanny.
