I hope the next President makes two changes to the WH:
Restore the previous incarnation of the East Wing, but with a plaque listing all the people and companies that supposedly paid for it, labeled "In remembrance of these individuals that bribed the President."
Leave the paved-over Rose Garden, and rename it to the Donald J. Trump Memorial Concrete Slab.
I'm with you on 1.
But can't on 2.
Everything he did to the White House needs to be reversed.
Then also to the rest of the country.
Plus eradicate his name from everything. Remove "Trump" from any building his family owns. Redact his names from donations and fundraisers, anonymize them. Basically remove him from history. Undo anything he did and make sure people cannot even know something was undone.
I want people to remember he was in the Epstein files.. so leave that aspect of his legacy intact.
leave his name on the public toilet that his grave will become at least
The US could pay off the national debt by charging admission to use that toilet!
I'd like to do more than reverse what he did. I'd like to reverse up to Reagan
we could probably lift the slab and put it someplace. like his library, maybe. Or one of his golf courses.
THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!
I'll get it for my museum of all Rumps failures. It's something I've been dreaming of. Exhibits covering all his horrendus and failed buisness. From casinos and condos to steaks and sneakers.
Great idea for his library. Since you know… he won’t put books in it.
Man... Seriously! Fuck this guy. I hope when the Epstein files finally get released he fucking burns
He led an insurrection on live TV, got away with it, and got reelected. Nothing is going to happen until the propaganda machine is torn down; or, more likely, the whole system just caves in on itself under the weight of its own greed and mismanagement.
I’d say the evangelical base won’t appreciate sex with teens but… given their track record they’ll probably say well actually sex with teens is just a-ok with us now
Christians are decrying Jesus Christ as "too woke" now. All bets are off
At that point you can't even call yourself a Christian
I dunno... I think there's a timeline where he winds up like Il Duche
ah, the 'just because i feel like it' defense. truly inspiring architecture, really. imagine the white house tour: 'and over here, we have the ballroom, built purely on a whim. truly a testament to... something.'
So, quick question: what exactly does he need a ballroom for? It's not like he's any good at dancing, even though he is somewhat famous for his double-handed cock milker move.
What's more, he doesn't have any balls, either. Certainly not the kind that would require a dedicated room.
I really don't get these brain farts of his. But hey, I'm not the one with syphilis-induced dementia here.
God, I can't wait until you guys finally muster the courage to oust this wannabe dictator and his clique.
His entire life has been based around his perception of what people above him think of him. That's why he plastered the oval office with garish gold leaf everywhere. He thinks it will impress people like putin and erdoğan and kim . Even more so because he's showing that he has the power to spend lavishly on stuff the country doesn't want or need because that's what dictators do.
That's what this is for
You missed another thing he loves doing. He smashed an historical building in the early '70s in NYC during the starting of his "real estate" career. He smashed an historical building while other people were offering to pay to have the historical artifacts properly recovered. His excuse at the time? "It would have been too expensive." Meanwhile he knew it would have been free to him, it just would have taken 6-8 months later for him to break ground.
He's continued desecrating any historical site he can get his hands on, to this day.
He gets off on destroying historical monuments.
Not even that long. According to "John Baron", it was 2 weeks.
Trump surprised New York’s art community on June 5, 1980 when a demolition crew jackhammered the sculptures off of the building. In addition, the intricate grillwork was removed. The destruction drew a public outcry. The Met received no advance notice.
Trump initially avoided any comment about the Bonwit Teller artwork. But John Baron, a spokesperson with the Trump Organization, contacted the New York Daily News to discuss the situation. Baron informed the Daily News that “the merit of the stones was not great enough to justify the effort to save them.” Baron stated that the removal process could have set back Trump Tower’s construction timeline by two weeks. Baron also told the New York Times that he had no idea what happened to the ornate grillwork.
Because the Kremlin has one.
He also doesn’t have to murder Venezuelan fishers, shoot/kidnap/torture Americans and our guests, rob the poor and deprive them of medical care and food to pay his wealthy loyalists, or rape children.
He does it because he wants to.
Rumors says they are working into a shelter under it. I am not sure if true or not
The right and Trump's own base really didn't like him doing this. This will do as much if not more harm to him from his own side than the goddamn Epstein files.
He wanted to make distracting headlines, and he got them.
"Distracting headlines" as a canard gets a bit old. Everything is a distraction from everything else, because we have a heavily monopolized mass media and a shrinking pool of investigative journalists with any kind of budget.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_of_newspapers#United_States
When you had twice as many newspapers and half as many people, the idea of "distracting headlines" was more a matter of consumer choice (you could read serious news at the New York Times or junk pop-media at the New York Post). Now media functions as a cartel, with papers all echoing one another on topics of the day. Or deliberately remaining silent on embarrassments the business community owners would rather not talk about.
This isn't a "Trump" problem, though. Its a problem of consolidation and privatization on a national scale.
Great, let's tear down a well-preserved historic building in pristine condition for no absolute reason at all!
But God help you if you want to remove a statue honoring a Confederate general
The east wing was built in like 1902. It's historic but it's not super duper old and was rebuilt in the 40s to hide a bunker under it.
Still is historic and well-preserved.
Aside from 80 years of constant renovation sure.
ngl I don't care about some old building but kind of want a society where thats the biggest problem
Might as well go back to the 1812 method of renovating at this point.
Probably less insulting to the concept of the USA than whatever the fuck this is.
I think the next president should tear down and start from scratch. Eho nlknows what kind of bugs that traitor has let his foreign 'pals' put wherever.
heres the secret reason in my theory: the east wing is where Trump gave a bj to Bill Clinton. ok who has the guest logs on when they were both present?
I thought this was obvious from the start.
This applies to everything he has ever done
