So are these some of the bronze statues on Lincoln Memorial Circle that Trump wants to cover in gold?

He really is nucking futz. Or am I nucking futz? Can somebody take the car keys from Grandpa?
Or is the another attempt to divert attention from EPSTEIN?

“Looking northwest at the two statues that make up the work The Arts of Peace. The Arts of Peace are statues which adorn either side of the northeastern end of Arlington Memorial Bridge in Washington, D.C., in the United States. They were designed by sculptor Leo Friedlander, and erected in 1951. "Music and Harvest" is the left, and "Aspiration and Literature" is to the right.” Wikimedia commons.

Simple, tasteful, and classy. It needed nothing just the marble alone was perfect.

Now look @ it after President (thanks to Putin, Musk, Thiel, Eaton Corp., and computers) Fucknutz
did to it. He had them drill into the marble and hang garish tacky shit on it, put some more garish
tacky gold crap in the hearth (design tip you know what looks timeless and good in a fireplace?
Firewood.) I think those are his golf trophies that he “won” playing his own golf courses on
the mantle and all that other gold crap around the Oval Office too. We are living in a very bad dream.
He is insane. BTW those are NATO people in the Oval Office and the woman on the couch looks
she wants to get out of that there asap because she knows he crazy.

A silly place to take a stand. The 250th is coming up so the surface gets restored. These series and all our monuments need to be in the budget for maintenance every 20 years. We shouldn’t let our monuments get so run down.

“ The Music and Harvest statue figures (along with its sister statue, Aspiration and Literature) are constructed of bronze that is fire-gilded and coated with approximately 100 pounds of 24-karat gold. Together, these statues and their counterparts are known as The Arts of Peace. “
