    This is all about humiliation. How much humiliation will the US take before they get violent and allow him to declare martial law with the insurrection act?

    I mean… the dude is a total dick for sure. Seeing the current state of USA politics though – the entire building should be demolished and replaced by a gray castle. Do it right.

    Destroying iconic architecture is his hobby. Trump Tower in NYC replaced the iconic Bonwit Teller building, which was one of the last standing examples of its distinctive architectural style.

    He announced his intention to tear it down, and historians went nuts. The Metropolitan Museum of Art offered to take the famous bas relief sculptures from the facade, and he agreed.

    Then one morning, NYC woke up to Trump simply destroying the building, including the iconic friezes that he had promised to save.

    So destroying iconic architecture is just standard Trump behavior.

        Honestly say this point be is everything the usa deserves. They deserve every pain every heartache and every atrocity they is happening.

        There is no reason this should have ever been allowed. So the checks and balances have been eroded for years by all parties involved and the people are actively letting it happen.

        It is absolutely terrible for many individual people who don’t deserve the horror they find themselves facing but the people en masse are to blame.

        Burn it to the ground and start over. Such a disgrace

          The problem with the idea of burning it all to the ground and starting over is that’s exactly the Republican plan. Destroy so many institutions and cultural beliefs that there’s nothing left to stop them. Meanwhile Democrats are writing a strongly worded letter to the person swinging the sledgehammer.

          The better plan would be to fix what’s broken, I admit it may be too late though.

            Well the USians have always been content to limp on a broken system, impotent to change it to a modern democracy. It’s not something that happened overnight or something we can blame ‘the Democrats’ for. It’s a failure of the people

          I would like to take this opportunity to remind people that Trump got less than 50% of the popular vote, more than half the country wants nothing to do with him. The GOP has been playing the gerrymandering game to great effect to the degree that their candidates can lose the popular vote but still win the election.

    Honestly this is probably one of the few things that if anyone else was doing it I would be fine with. The White House is a disaster plenty of accounts can be had from people that have worked there of what poor State it’s in and how it’s basically unsalvageable. We keep the outside looking nice but it’s internal state was not great it was in need of a rebuild.

    Problem is he’s probably going to just replace it with like a skyscraper or something

    To be clear, the White House was destroyed the moment a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and literal insurrectionist made it his home.

    So this is just finishing the job.

      Trump is a fascist pedophile who will probably have to be killed to leave. The White House has been home to genociders and rapists many times before though. To occlude the historical brutality of the United States is self-destructive and makes you less curious about how and why a pedophile rapist is right at home in the White House.

      Tear it down with him in it.

    Just a friendly reminder trump said in July the ballroom wouldn’t touch the existing building and everything would remain intact. Add it to the pile.

    Orange man obviously couldn’t follow through on his “invade Greenland” distraction. Resorts to tearing shit down in his backyard instead like a kid who was banned from his neighborhood tree-house.

    Ask him to host a public reading of the Epstein files in his new ballroom/hooker palace or whatever he’s actually building once it’s all done. Just to let him know that distraction #598 didn’t work.
