at taxpayers expense. The whole clean up and repairs are on taxpayers' dime. The cost for the July 4th 250 celebration will be over the top too.

with the east wing construction in the background - it looked like Europe after war. I wonder if anyone will offer us a Marshall Plan?

And I wouldn’t be surprised if it crashes into the portico and wrecks the White House in the process.

Disassemble it, go to Home Depot and get some cheap gold spray paint, paint it, transport the parts to Florida, re-erect it on the grounds of Mar-a-Lago, and call it 'L'Arc du Trump - Les Cages aux merdes' That way, King Dumbass Donald would have his arch and be able to look at it any time he pleases. In fact, he could even incorporate it into his golf course. A large tacky 'mini golf' course. If that doesn't scream Donald Trump, I don't know what does.
