(50,555 posts)Trump is probably also trying to make this an unconstitutional ex post facto law, so he can lock up everyone whos already done this.
Well, boys and girls, Trump defaced the Bears Ears National Monument. Lock him up!

Of course the sentence is only for defacing statues or monuments of *white* persons.

But then, according to journalist Harry Hurt III in his book Lost Tycoon, Trump discovered that taking out the sculptures would delay demolition by two weeks. He wasnt willing to wait. On his orders, the demolition workers cut up the grillwork with acetylene torches, Hurt wrote. Then they jackhammered the friezes, dislodged them with crowbars, and pushed the remains inside the building, where they fell to the floor and shattered in a million pieces.
The art world was shocked. Architectural sculpture of this quality is rare and would have made definite sense in our collections, Ashton Hawkins, the vice president and secretary of the Mets board of trustees, told the New York Times. Robert Miller, a gallery owner who had agreed to assess the friezes, told the paper that the reliefs are as important as the sculptures on the Rockefeller building. Theyll never be made again.
