Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

2. yes they are stealing everything they can get their hands on.

They are busy bees behind the scenes.

Certainly not working for the American people.

6. Acting before he knows what he's doing is his modus operandi with everything

he touches -- from bombing Venezuelan boats to deporting immigrants to placing imbeciles in his cabinet. His sole semblance of "a concept" occurs only when he can smell some personal advantage or profit.

He is the most thoughtless, corrupt, inept POTUS in this nation's history.

7. It's Trump's approach to diplomacy, healthcare, "improving" efficiency, saving money, and everything

else he was elected to do.

8. If this approach works for the East Wing, then surely, ...

... it will work for the TrumpCare Health Plan to replace the ACA.

Destroy fast, then plan slowly, if ever.

It's a concept ...

and then we'll use AI to argue with you about how to design and install a bertter 3D-printed one with next generation Musk neurolinks!"
