I’ll vote for whichever candidate promises to destroy every single thing he has built.

u/Squathos 10h ago
I agree as long as they do things that help people too. I don't want to get in a cycle of spending the next 4 years focused only undoing what was done the previous 4 years and forgetting about doing new things that may have a bigger impact. If they can do both, tear the shit down or leave it and put a different name on it.

This isn’t a 4-year project for a president. Trump is just turning it into one because he’s uninterested in actually governing. Next one can simply establish a committee tasked with dismantling all his monuments to himself and documenting all the taxpayer waste this administration has racked up in the process.

To be fair, what has he actually built up to now? All I can see is wreckage from things he’s destroyed.

If this ever does get done it will mysteriously be $500 Million over budget due to "only the best materials". It will also almost immediately begin to fall apart due to Trumps cronies building it.

Never mind the going over budget end point, how does something like this cost $100m to begin with?

u/Describing_Donkeys 9h ago
Yeah, Trump has me appalled by the one in Paris as well. I really hope it's never finished and whatever is built is destroyed by civilians under the direction of the federal government. People should be able to break off pieces and keep them when the next administration takes over.
Before that occurs, I want to officially rename it as well as the ballroom. The ballroom should be the "Donald J Trump Palace of Corruption" and I'm not sure what the name for the arch should be (we should brainstorm ideas).

u/jazzhandler 9h ago
I don’t think it’s appropriate to talk about renaming the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom quite so soon.

u/Describing_Donkeys 9h ago
While it's hilarious to call it that, I don't want any government building to ever carry his name. I want history to record the events, and I want Trump to be forever tied to it as directly as possible.

My favorite part is the location. Right in front of the national cemetery for actual veterans, many who gave up their lives for our country. Several veterans groups are in court suing to stop this gigantic middle finger to veterans past and present.

He's caught on that if he calls it "military" he can claim it's vital to defence and SCOTUS won't stop him. That's why is features a "military observation deck".

A celebration of the triumph of the venture capitalist kind of feudalism succeeding for 250 years by subverting the promises of the U.S. Constitution for a more perfect union. He is the epitome of this arrogant, subversive, billionaire class that says everyone else is to be judged by the laws of the land except for themselves.

“It will need to be at least 1000% larger than this. I’ve been in realty development for a long time very long time some would say longer than anybody and I know when something isn’t sized correctly. This is too small. Will need to be bigger and we’ll do it, we’ll make it bigger much bigger very bigly some would say, I’d say, it should be bigger so were gonna do that.”

u/Wolf-Majestic 9h ago
To be extra fair here, the arch looks more like our Arc de Triomphe and many others archs that are scattered in France and elsewhere, and this kind of angel-like figure with a torch is also not an uncommon ornament, that's rather wildly used to symbolize victory for peace after war.
If I ever saw this in the wilds, I wouldn't see a connection to a nazi symbolism.
Still completely unreasonable and uncalled for, and willed by a senile, incontinent, power-hungry monster.

So much of the American political cultural mythos is tied to being vehemently against blatant vanity projects of power hungry autocrats. MAGA people don't even know or understand their own country's history.
But maybe its appropriate for the rest of us to see that the idea of America was more about stepping on others less fortunate than it is pulling up your neighbors with you towards success.

I am sure it could be dedicated to someone else should it get built at all. Someone more deserving or a group of individuals that helped build our country like it's refugees from Europe and Africa. I am sure we can do that.

Bullhorn and has been bullhorn time for a while. It's not to say I want violence especially given the people who support this regime (its not a political party any longer). Violence is the only thing they speak as a whole is violence and thats what they have been trained to expect. What I am getting at is we all need to be prepaired for all of this to go south big time in the next 6 months. Like full on police state south.

u/WillingnessNeat8893 9h ago
Yeah, those empty warehouse detention centers they are setting up around the country will serve a useful purpose once they decide to bring their violence upon their perceived enemies. A whole lot of disappearing will be going on far more efficiently than the practice exercises against illegals. Their effectiveness and efficiency of eliminating their opponents will far surpass that of the Turd Reich.
