What are the odds Trump is going to level the Kennedy center ?

He is having a fit at the judge who ordered his name removed. Trump is arguing its in need of renovation, etc...
I would not be surprised if he has a temper tantrum and send dozers to raze it.

I never even considered that. And he’d call it a health hazard that had to be demolished for the good of the people - while releasing tons of asbestos.

But no contractor works be willing to risk the backlash from future honest administrations. I am sure he’ll have a hard time finding any. He’d have to do it himself.

Sinking popularity, obviously failing health. I couldn't imagine he will find a taker for this contract.

Surely you remember the East Wing that he tore down in a couple of days in a fit of pique over the No Kings march.

regardless of court rulings. He is above the law, has the 3 branches of govt in his back pocket AND...

Since his health is rapidly deteriorating, his poll numbers with his cult are really bad AND he is a vengeful, sadistic psychopath who hates the USA he is going to take us down with him..

The shit is hitting the fan with this trifecta. Everyone knows he will now destroy us since he blames the USA for all of his problems.

Time to hide...

that he's entirely above the law. He doesn't believe it applies to him and, frankly, given all available evidence, it doesn't.

I used to be a patriotic American. I don't even recognize my own country from only 10 years ago. This monster and his greedy, corrupt enablers have successfully killed MY country. My dream is for gallows to be built where the White House was and have all the traitors publicly executed since the US Constitution allows for that punishment for convicted traitors. I vote for that!!!
We could destroy all of HIS tacky projects and sell tickets (we can benefit from pay per view too, Piggy)to view their public destruction and that alone would erase the national debt quickly. If we could claw back the money (billions of dollars) that his pals have stolen in every way they could and then we would pay for new buildings to be built where he destroyed the dozens he has demolished so far and probably will demolish in the future before he goes back home to Satan.

and send in marshals or NG to enforce the judge's ruling? Immediately, before he finishes it. As soon as anyone sees demolition equipment in the area, whoever has authority should be contacted.

He controls the board and the judge can't force them to schedule acts...
