Since November, President Trump has been pushing a plan to paint the granite office building next to the White House, because he thinks it should be white too. But painting granite damages the stone and requires expensive upkeep.
Gas is still $4. Epstein victims still don’t have justice. We taught Iran a cool new trick where they can hold the world financially hostage by actually delivering on a decades old threat to hold the Strait of Hormuz, because Trump forced their hand. He has made the wrong decision at every single turn.
Maybe, we’ll see. It’s not even that I want him to suffer, just have justice for the damage he’s wrought and most importantly that we start to repair what’s been broken.
It’s why I’m frankly far more concerned with the repair list than him. He can go die with his money.
We are trying to stop him from painting a historic site covered in granite at the moment, which will ruin it or require constant upkeep. The guy has clearly never worked with his hands in his life. You don’t paint fucking granite, it’s dense and nonporous so the paint sits on top instead of bonding. And It’s depressing how true your statement probably is in his mind.
Submission Statement: In the latest development, preservationists sought emergency relief last week to block the White House from applying test patches of paint to the building. A federal judge then directed the Trump administration to refrain from this and related actions until the court has ruled on the underlying issues; a hearing is tentatively set for August 18.
Who cares, he literally tore down a third of the White House, paved the rose gardens and is building himself a ballroom and you guys still call him your president… you don’t even care about your own opinions!
You don't have to like something for it to be true. I've voted for the opposing candidate every single time Trump was on the ballot, and he's currently my president. It sucks.
Why is this stupid Arch even being seriously considered? Why do we need a ridiculously expensive monument to the worst president in history that literally nobody wants but the orange madman that is infesting the White House? Why does someone that managed to shoehorn his way into the presidency get to do so damn much damage to the country, and then is also permitted to treat the White House and grounds like it’s his personal property, and the whole district like it’s just an extension of that? This has gotten completely out of hand! Republicans have so much to answer for, too bad Moscow Mitch is so far gone he won’t even know any consequences for his part in this entire disgusting fiasco.

The worst thing is he gets to die without facing any consequences while having enriched himself.

True. However humanity will have a chance to make sure that his legacy is portrayed with excruciatingly accurate detail of his negative impact.

Well the money he has isn't his, it's been stolen and/or grifted. America deserves to have it ALL back.

Yeah, but you slaves need to get back to work building monuments to his glory like the pyramids of Giza.

Um, yep. Makes sense.
This is an astute observation of one tree in a very large forest fire.
I see they have test patches, and a planning commission. A hearing might be held. This tree might be spared.
The fire will continue to rage until it is spent or extinguished.
