    i can’t find the words for how much i hate this selfish prick. I hate that he will be in history books. I hate that kids will have to learn about epstien and pedophiles in history class. i hate how he just slimes his way through everything and never gets held accountable.

      There was a very slim sliver of a chance had he lost the election. Hopefully, he’ll end up dying like Hitler.

        Hopefully he’ll end up dying much sooner and with much less devastation. Remember that Hitler died in a bunker after his military was ruined.

      I want them to learn it. I want them to learn about Sally Hemmings too. America can’t get better until we shine a light on the ways it’s deplorable, and has been for a long time. The myths and rampant nationalism need to die.

    The current administrations treatment of the White House is pretty symbolic for the entire presidency. I’d wager a bet, that either the redesign has to be torn down due to structural issues during the next term or never even gets built.

    Given the heritage of the building matetials, I’m shocked they aren’t at least being carefully salvaged and reused. The wrecking ball / demolition approach is an apt metaphor for Trump as President in general.

      he wants a tacky , gaudy palace like putins, gold plating everywhere, diamonds encrusted chandeliers, and giant vases everywhere.

      One day, maybe it’ll be turned into a food pantry or international aid hq. It would be so gratifying to deny the legacy his narcissistic ass is trying to steal.

    Next, a giant (branded!) tower over the ballroom for 2 billon monies, outsides ofc fully gold plated/gilded, the rest/current white house will look like a pair of white balls next to it.

      Yes, but even that needs healthy slaves that hold up that empire, which he is absolutely devastating.

      (I mean yes one could only care for a few years but he’s speerunning it)

        There’ll be plenty enough healthy slaves as long as he can convince the paupers that either a) they can ascend to the ranks of the elite through good work ethic and unwavering support or that b) their struggles are the result of doings by some random marginalized group.

    Just a reminder that the construction plans haven’t been approved but the GOP is saying it’s a demolition not construction so it’s okay.

      Even if people idiots accept that is true which I doubt, no one ever mentions the ongoing maintenance, staffing, etc… that we will be absorbing indefinitely.

        But let’s be real he probably pulled that money from child starvation funding, he’s a miser, he doesn’t part with money unless it’s a business failure of his own doing

    I didn’t notice this before but…have they burst a pipe there? Or is it spray to prevent dust?

      Likely the latter, demolishing like that causes a lot of dust that can travel fast and far. Soon you’ll have the dark house, appropriately.
