spree of destruction is making me HEARTSICK. Besides just the colossal WASTE of OUR money that should be being used to feed the hungry, house the homeless and provide access to healthcare for we the people, it's NOT HIS! He just has to imprint his tacky, tin-pot dictator ego b.s. on EVERYTHING that should be sacred to all of us.
