I looked on with disgust the anticipated

location of The Arc De Trump. Situated between Arlington Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial, its location is horrific. To gaze from the Lincoln Memorial to Arlington is a treasured and honored view. To have that vista blocked by a Croquet wicket of an Arch dedicated to a a child rapist is akin to having a splendid view of the Rocky Mountains, only to have your windshield splattered by a monumental amount of bird shit.

We can do that after he dies, and after we spend some time dancing in the streets.

This administration can't build anything. The Ballroom will be a hole in the ground until another President comes along and fills it in a restores the East Wing to how it was.

Even now, I know it's temporary, they are building that horseshit UFC stadium on the White House grounds.

I sincerely hope that his monstrosities he built will be allowed to be vandalized with no consequence.

We could create new gardens in those areas. Maybe reminiscent of Jackie Kennedy’s Rose Garden. Add more beauty to the world instead of more ego-stroking and hatred.

like a T that doesn’t get his putrid name and monuments splattered onto our historically sacred and dignified places. The scorn thus far doesn’t seem to faze his narcissistic crusade.

All unredacted documents will be open to any US resident during government agency operating hours.
I would donate to that....

You could also put smaller ones at the entrances of all his golf courses and Trump Tower as well.

12. The proposed drawings
Tue May 26, 2026, 12:05 PM

looks to me,............ like the backdrop of Hitler's many public speeches........coincidental? I think not......

He will never make it to see it happen, like the Ballroom or other things.....his health has taken a worse turn these past weeks/months......

The Republicans will only put a far worse person in office, they have a large choice of Horrific Republicans from which to choose from.............

I can only imagine that the Republicans would have gotten rid of him themselves, but feared losing his MAGAot voters.
Better to wait out for when he croaks, and not get blamed for removing him from office......
As well as allowing him to run wild, accomplishing all kinds of outrageous destruction, then the Republican Party can blame him down the road.....

I used to go to DC all the time before he came k to office and now don’t know if I’ll ever go there again after all the damage he’s done to historical monuments.

Placing the triumphal arch on Lee's side of the river instead of Lincoln's might lead future generations to believe the South won.
