It is important to say to Trump himself that no matter how extravagantly he defiles The Peoples House, his legacy will be erased. His monument to himself will not stand. All of his childish efforts to glorify his name will be for naught. Have fun, you pathetic little man. The humility which you could never achieve will be enforced upon you by dynamite.

(34,942 posts)That includes the African American History and Culture Museum, The American Indian Museums in DC and NYC, The Asian Art Museum, he African American Art Museum... None of which are currently being properly funded, along with every other Smithsonian museum. I prefer my tax dollars to go to that, rather than toward the upkeep of a shoddily-built Trump abomination--if it ever gets built.

(22,683 posts)He's much, much, much too egotistical and narcissistic to do anything else.
Don't forget, this is a guy who slaps his name on everything he can. There's no way he would build a grotesquely large, tastelessy overdecorated ballroom and NOT put TRUMP on it in great big letters.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who saidTwo vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

(22,374 posts)Rip it all down. All of it. The "bawl room", restore the Rose Garden, and all the other affronts to history and decency this fucking bastard has created in the White House. Part of the national healing process. And erasing his memory.
And when he dies, dig his ass up and dump him in unmarked grave somewhere. If there's objection from his "family" or Repukes in general, ask them if they'd like to join him.

(90,266 posts)This, too! And make sure those delays cost him more and more and more
Hmmm, dont we need inspections and permits and panels of approval to do so much as trim a hangnail?
The lawsuit by the preservation group should make delays possible. He can get a taste of his own legal delay tactics.

Get this... kushner is building a luxury resort in Mexico.... Mexico!!!
It's sickening to me that people are willing to do business with this grifter family.

(14,886 posts)Forget walls and decor. Fire EVERY single person hired under either trump administration. Top to bottom. The top cabinet member down to the dog catcher. If they came in under trump, they are out. then we take a hard hard look at anyone who advanced under trump.
Thats what I care about. thats what should have happened when he left office the first time.

YES!! The dems should run on taking this maga ball room down as a priority!!!!. None of this just moving forward stuff!! It should not stand under any circumstances. We as Dems cannot keep letting the righties tear up our country and we just tend to move on...TEAR IT DOWN!!!! should be the motto!!
Also, any Maga person in any position of authority should be dismissed immediately!! under a Dem president!!! All military administrators/leaders fired should be asked to return. Replace the Rose garden along with getting all that Gold trimmed nonsense out of the oval office. No unveiling of any presidential photos of this clown of any type....Its my feeling that we must sanitize our government from this poison that is taking place right now! Make America Good Again!!

By doing this? They have become what they hate.
I am not comfortable with that and I doubt many Democratic would be as well.

(5,997 posts)Add some digs that will get under his skin.
Make an official White House announcement (big press conference, maybe even in the Oval office) in which the POS is described as
too tacky and unattractive to be up to the standards of the White House
poorly designed, constructed, and decorated
cheap in both quality and appearance
lowers the real estate value of the White House (even though this is irrelevant, its a direct dig at him)
Any other description (which will be, of course, 100% true) that clearly insults his taste and imagined skills.
