    Is he just going to keep picking other country’s monuments he likes and make his own bootleg version of it in Washington?

    Looking forward to the Trump Mahal, Sizeable Bob, Christopher the Coupon Redeemer, DC Tower and the Slanted Tower of Pizza.

      Not to quibble but maybe he’s developmentally disabled? He just ain’t grow right. In the head.

      Isn’t there some kind of protocol for if the president is unable to perform his duties due to insanity?

        The 25th was written to be used for incapacity, and an insane but active president can defeat it. If his cabinet members declare him incapable, all he has to do is write a letter saying “Nuh-huh, I’m fine” and that’s the end of it. The amendment wasn’t intended to deal with mental illness. More like “POTUS in a coma.”

        If they want him out, they should impeach him.

      That reminder is daily, if not more frequently. So let’s start talking about the people who are ‘pulling the puppet’s strings’.

        String pullers, and those going along with it because they think they’ll get something out of it at the cost of the country’s decline.

        We’re going to need a wall. A long one.

    Will there be a fake gold statue of Dear Leader? And every loyal American will be expected to make a pilgrimage to kiss its peen, just $99.99 admission.

    JD Vance needs to make a triumphal arch right beside Trump’s.

    Then they can build a fast food restaurant behind them.

    Good. I hope it’s gigantic. I hope this country never forgets that generations of opulence and greed created this criminal psychopath.

    Cai reached Trump by phone at Mar-a-Lago and asked when he expected work to begin.

    “It hasn’t started yet. It starts sometime in the next two months. It’ll be great. Everyone loves it,” replied Trump. “They love the ballroom too. But they love the Triumphal Arch.”

    Super demented

      Hey, I’ve been reading where a couple 5 pound bags of sugar in a concrete mixer will greatly delay setting, and may or may not significantly compromise the strength. A few liters of cola may be even worse.

    Trump’s Triumphal arch is a joke, it has no symbolism of any value, where for instance the French “Arc de triomphe de l’Étoile” has double significance as praising the success of the Napoleon army, and as a symbolic memorial place for the unknown soldier, and today it has become a historic landmark.

    What Trump is doing is putting up a huge piece of garbage of no value and slab his own name on it.
    It’s a cheap copy of “the original” in Paris, both in concept and design. Much like a cheap Chinese copy of a Vuitton designer piece.
    Trump has no style and no class, only someone completely without any sense of either could think such a project is cool.
