5. And 6 trees, two designated as memorial trees.

I know the regime is perpetrating far more devastating crimes against humanity, but this strikes a nerve. It is so infuriating and heartbreaking I can hardly breathe.

At least six trees that once surrounded the East Wing appear to have been removed from the White House grounds, according to the images.
...
Two historic magnolia trees originally dating to the 1940s -- designated as commemorative trees for Presidents Warren G. Harding and Franklin D. Roosevelt -- appear to have been removed during the construction.

A magnolia tree commemorating Harding was originally planted by first lady Florence Harding in 1922 northeast of the entrance to the original 1902 East Wing, according to the National Park Service. The tree was replanted in 1947 and later re-designated as a commemorative tree in the 1950s, according to the park service.

The Roosevelt tree was originally planted in 1942 southeast of the entrance to the newly constructed East Wing, according to the park service. The tree was designated as a commemorative tree in the mid-1950s.

6. Trump has stuck a knife in the back of the body politic and is now twisting it like a sadist.

8. Trump and the republicans. It's not just trump.

They are supporting and enabling. He is not alone in this national destruction.

9. True,

if it wasn't for many morbidly rich people, much of the media, and almost one third of the electorate, Trump would just be a kkklownish buffoon with a failed TV show.

7. As we all know, destroying a Nations' actual history and replacing it with a Regime-Approved one

that white-washes (almost literally) it, and glorifies the dominant culture, and the dictator themselves is FASCISM 101.
