He raped all those children and was never brought to justice for it.
He also actually might be net positive and a real billionaire now that he has grifted with his crypto so hard.
I also forgot about conning a lot of people out of a lot of money with crypto scams.
Didn't Saddam Hussein have one of these made of giant sabres?
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
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.
Triumphal arches go back to at least the Romans, so the one in Paris is nothing close to the original. It's a copy, as well.
Reminder that the President of the United States is profoundly mentally ill
And always has been.
(He's getting even worse...)
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.
Nah, we need a lot of tiny walls, made of brass, lead, and smokeless powder.
Will this be before or after his funeral? Asking for a friend.
Ask a prediction market and watch someone take the odds into their own hands.
Yes to this but veto to block a freshwater pipeline for 50,000 residents
(official reason: waste of taxpayer money, real reason: govnor hurt his fragile ego)
GOP: “We save money you by killing the citizens & residents of the USA”
Call me petty, but it was going to red areas of Colorado which voted for him so no real loss at the end of the day.
DC needs protected bike lanes not an arch
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.
Fiscal responsibility, right here people.
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.
Slanted Tower of Pizza.
Made with real pizza.
It will be the new Las Vegas, bankrupt casinos coming soon.
Alternately,, they could impeach Trump, then start the long process of restoring everything that he vandalized.
Thought at first this was an Onion article.
We're in The Onion Timeline. Nuttier than a fruitcake, and just as stale, dense, and sickly sweet.
What is he tearing down this time?
The USA.
Well, there was an article the other day about 13 government buildings he wanted to tear down and preservationists were fighting back, but I thought he wanted to build the arch on the Mall
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.
Missed opportunity to call in a Trump-hal Arch
Spray painted gold!
With a second right next to it!
And free hamberders below for everyone! But we'll also promise them ice cream, and when they ask for it, we'll always tell them the machines broke.
Haha, welcome to Hell.
Ah yes the golden arches right on the lawn of the white house.
Just so if one wants a view of the WH you have to peek past the arch of annoyance.
Triumph over reason.
JD Vance needs to make a triumphal arch right beside Trump’s.
Then they can build a fast food restaurant behind them.
Where are all of the workers in the east wing now? Probably a construction trailer.
I gaurentee the lincoln memorial is going to be destroyed in the next 3 years.
It will be the biggest, most beautiful arch ever 🫲🍊🫱
Trump is going to make the Arch of Honours?
