It's a line on a different wall for people to try to piss higher than. Trump's not actually in the pissing match, though. Given his equipment, he can only piss downward. His overhanging belly flap prevents him from pissing upward at all.
Congress should call him on this. They should all go out and piss on the wall. Most will be able to piss higher than Trump can even dream of doing. He cannot win this particular contest.
On a side note, readers of the Old Testament of the Bible in the King James Version have several examples of what happens to him who "pisseth against the wall." In First Samuel and First Kings, all those who "pisseth against the wall" were slain in several battles. One example can be seen in 1 Samuel 25: 34:
Another example occurs in 1 Kings 16: 11:
What that means is that all men and boys in a place were executed. For, it is only men and boys who urinate against walls. Pissing contests are dangerous, apparently.

I suspect that Trump sits to piss.

He needs an underclass for his deplorables to hate and fear.
