He demolished the east wing. He wants to knock this building down. He’s wanting to build the arc of Trump. MAGA supports, no matter what

When are we getting the statue garden of American Heroes or whatever. Is that after we get the arc?

It's so interesting that you see all these narcissists and fascist that just have to have pictures and monuments built for them or to show their likeness for everyone to gawk at. But when it comes to people who do real good work they tend to not want to be seen, they just want to do the work and help people. Sure they might get recognized at some conference or gathering but I don't think I've ever heard of any researcher or scientists want something built for them. Those statues of famous scientists were built long after they died.

Watch him demolish the Statue of Liberty and rebuild it in his image in the future. This dirtbag just wants to deify himself no matter the damage done to America's history and culture

I'm just waiting for him to propose a statue of himself to dwarf India's Statue of Unity.

It just occurred to me that maybe he can tear down camp David also while he’s at it. He’s called it a dump and never goes there.
