    God, I love Trump demystifying the US. Go ahead and remove all the pretenses and embrace the US for the violent idiocracy it’s been since forever.

      Nothing sacred in the white colonial building, or the checks and balances.

      President can just decide to put a tacky metal structure in front of it.

        The only thing missing is Trump blessing it with an audible fart to undermine not only America, but his own delusions of grandeur.

    It will be funny if it is permanent and the next dem president refuses to dismantle it. “we must look forward, not backwards” or some shit.

      if any Dem has the balls to say “on day one i will demolish that fucking ballroom” they will win the primary with 90% of the vote

      (and then they wouldn’t even have to do it honestly dems are so checked out when their guy is in by 2032 they’d be saying the ballroom and thunderdome are great actually)

      That’s what I want. Do some nominal, like, ceremonial or vaguely “meaningful” shit with it so that dems feel like they have to keep it. Put “one nation, under god, indivisible” on the mat or some shit.

    Eiffel Tower

    art project that was controversial in its day but is now an enduring national symbol

    Trump Thunderdome

    temporary structure on the white house lawn for mounting lights and cameras

    These two things are definitely equivalent.

      Tbf the Eiffel Tower was also useful as a broadcasting tower for radio (and later for TV), not just as an aesthetic object

    the only good thing turmp did was take a giant dump on liberal values and expose them for the completely vacuous nonsense they are.

    It could be permanent.

    Oh, man - I hope he does that. Libs won’t get mad enough to do anything about it but they will yell and scream that he’s desecrating the People’s House and trying to do so permanently! And it might cause them to vote hard enough to overcome the GOP’s SCOTUS advantage and other voter disenfranchisement stuff.

    A better comparison would be to the Louvre pyramid. But he wouldn’t want to make it sound like the White House is about to get heisted.

    Pointing down at the canvas like Max Holloway to swing it out when you transfer power to the incumbent
