    I want every putative 2028 candidate to pledge that on January 20, 2029 he or she will sign an executive order to tear down this monstrosity

    And get rid of dept of war and secretary of war titles, and revert back to lake Ontario and Gulf of Mexico, and just erase any evidence that he ever existed, honestly.

      What’s crazy is he was able to secure all the corporate donations for this thing, yet the poor Kennedy Center needs to be demolished because he cannot secure donations to keep it alive.

        For people who don’t know, the Kennedy Center had a large team of people whose job it was to get enough donations to keep it running… IIRC something around 100 people, and under Trump’s direction, that team was more or less completely dismantled.

        The previous director of the Kennedy Center was a very rich man, I think a billionaire, who had personally donated millions to the Kennedy Center, and Trump got rid of him.

        Trump did everything he could to sabotage all existing sources of funding for the Kennedy Center.

        It’s hard to describe in words what a pathetic loser Trump is. He can’t stand to have somebody whose name is in any way elevated above his own. He’ll destroy any cultural institution and anybody else’s happiness just to get the tiniest bit of honor for himself.

          It must be done by performance art that includes horrendous odors and the kind of flashing lights that cause seizures.

        Well he didn’t, congress decided we should all help pay for it to the tune of a $billion IIRC. If you’re from the US you’re paying for it.

    Any corporation that donated to this administration should be nationalized or shuttered

    It’s a monument to Trump. A horrendous scar on America. And that’s sort of why I hope it sticks around, to serve as a lesson to America. This is what happens when you squander your democracy.

    I noted in another article, that the new ballroom construction includes a state-of-the-art hospital. Meanwhile, Medicaid is getting cut back. Cuts for thee…

    That is fucking ugly I can’t even…

    Shit needs to be torn down immediately and that dumb MFer needs to pay for the entire overhaul of the WH. Actually the place needs to be bulldozed because you aren’t ever getting the stench out.

    Certainly bugged by the Russians and Chinese. If the USA, votes in a Democratic president or a sane one, there should be another vote asking the public WTF to do with the shit built by the MAGA fucknuts. Send a wrecking ball through his shit or keep it.

      I TOTALLY trust the contractors hired for this monstrosity to have the most secure blueprints/design, and the tightest controls on one of the most secure building the US has. Wait, who hired them? Oh fuck…
