    This has got to be the tackiest, low-brow shit I’ve ever seen. Did he put plastic covers on all the White House couches, too?

          Ostentatious toxic insecurity is as unpresidential as it gets.

    Nearby, an oft-photographed area of the White House has been transformed into a colonnade filled with gold-framed images of all of America’s past presidents, except Joe Biden. Instead, the space where Trump’s predecessor should be displayed on the “presidential walk of fame” is a photo of Biden’s “autopen.”

    Omg this guy is the fucking worst.

    A future US president should literally disassemble this and just restore everything back to before trump showed up. It will be expensive, but so what. Just start wiping his greasy prints off of everything.

      Isn’t that the big dome that the nazi government and Hitler wanted to build? … in a new imperial city they would design.

        Albert Speer was Hitler’s architect. No surprise, they lied about when they started planning their Nazi architecture so it surprised and impressed everyone.

        Everything Trump has been doing is out of Hitler’s playbook.

        Architecture Of Doom covers this very well.

          The mere mention of Ruinenwerttheorie would give Trump a stroke.

            It (the overall themes of the documentary) really needs to become common knowledge to fight this piece of shit. One of the many things I found chilling in the documentary was how he manipulated hearts and minds via attacks on popular culture which trump is mimicking exactly and without even trying to conceal it.

            Ruinenwerttheorie

            Honestly, if he had a grasp on the theory, he would be working more monumentally. That shitkicker’s hall would be made out of masonry or concrete if he wanted it to stand as a ruins as Hitler’s trash was conceptualized to do far into the future. Trump would definitely want to be enshrined like the greatest civilizations that ever existed, purely to stroke his own ego.

    Doesn’t Washington DC have permits and a review process for altering, what I assume, is classified as a historical building?

      Basically, yes. This is quite literally what he’s thinking of it as, I think - the grand throne room at Versailles, where the corporate nobility and other world leaders come to grovel at his feet for his mercy.
