The warning came as Trump leaves a trail of destruction in Washington, demolishing the White House East Wing to make way for a $600m ballroom and ordering a renovation of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool that resulted in algae blooms and a peeling liner.
The court filing represented the first time that Trump’s allies have raised the prospect of knocking down the Kennedy Center – a 100ft-high complex with a concert hall, opera house and theatre – as the dire alternative to closing it for two years of improvements. Such an aggressive move would be sure to face legal challenges, protests and an outcry from historic preservation groups.
The threat emerged on Monday as the administration urged a federal judge to reject a fresh legal challenge to Trump’s efforts to put his name on the Kennedy Center. The dispute has become part of a months-long battle over the president’s attempt to alter the memorial created by Congress in honour of John F Kennedy, the 35th US president who was assassinated in 1963.
Look, if Trump wants a memorial building named after him all he has to do is get himself assassinated. He just has do the first step and we’ll totally take care of the rest, ok?
Please do Step One, Trump. Please?
This asshole is the modern Caligula. Shouldn’t be allowed out of prison, much less running/destroying the country.
The funny thing is that a contractor will do this even though they will never be paid by Trump and then eventually probably go to prison after he is too dead to pardon them.
The only reasonable response is:
DO IT, MOTHERFUCKER!
Stop trying to reason with this clown.
He’s the kid that breaks the toys in daycare so nobody else can play with them.
Still working hard to improve the life of the American people I see.
demolish it then.
He’s going to have the same attitude when it comes time for him to leave office.
Fuck this piece of shit, release the child raping and sex trafficking files.
So many people who own guns in 'Merica, and no one is willing to shoot the bastard?!
All were Republicans and all of them had the accuracy of storm troopers
doing anything and everything drastic to keep his deceased best friend out of the news.
Could this man be a bigger asshole?
Don’t tempt him, Frodo.
He’s always searching for new and exciting ways
No. He’s a toroidal sphere, essentially pure asshole.
Any comparison is an insult to assholes.
Yes, unfortunately

You truly did!
In a surprising development the Republican Congress did fuck all about it and SCOTUS threw up their hands and said “who, me?”
Meanwhile the media blamed Biden because he likes ice cream.
Paved over Jackie Kennedy’s rose garden. Put in a garish boxing ring, then a helipad.
