'Unravelling': Trump accused of 'breathtaking sabotage' against the U.S. economy [View all]

President Donald Trump has been working at breakneck speed to eliminate federal programs, prompting an opinion columnist with The Washington Post to ponder, "Is there anything Trump won't destroy?"

Columnist Dana Milbank used the metaphor of Trump wielding an ax to chop down not only a 200-year-old magnolia tree at the White House, but the very Constitution on which the United States was founded.

Trump announced this week that he was getting rid of the tree planted by Andrew Jackson because, he wrote, it had become “a very dangerous safety hazard.” Milbank conceded that the explanation was "plausible," but what was Trump's justification for paving the storied Rose Garden into a “stone surface”?

"The same day Trump announced the execution of the Jackson magnolia, he swung another ax at the 237-year-old U.S. Constitution, this time maintaining that he’s 'not joking' about illegally seeking a third term," Milbank wrote.
