Washington Post editorial board praises Trump's demolition of East Wing

The Washington Post editorial board praised President Trump’s controversial demolition of the East Wing of the White House.

“The White House cannot simply be a museum to the past. Like America, it must evolve with the times to maintain its greatness. Strong leaders reject calcification. In that way, Trump’s undertaking is a shot across the bow at NIMBYs everywhere,” the Post’s editorial board wrote in an opinion piece published Saturday.

Destruction of the East Wing was completed Thursday, with excavators first spotted the Monday before the demolition.

t previously held the office of first lady Melania Trump, the offices of the White House social secretary and calligrapher, the movie theater and the presidential bunker.

Bezos gave his thoughts recently about people in space in the next few years. Uh, Jeff? Can you go to Mars first? Thanks. Curious that he wants to stay on earth and continue to sell people shit that they dont need. Except food, maybe.

... "Strong leaders..." to flatter him. I would have used a more appropriate word.

Why not create a new, non-racist religion? That is what I would like to say to all the assholes supporting trump's destruction of everything.
