Trump BOLDLY TACKLES the AFFORDABILITY CRISIS with "potential marble armrests for Kennedy Center seating"

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-threatens-kennedy-center-with-a-tacky-marble-makeover/

Not content with completing his takeover of the Kennedy Center by slapping his own name on the building, President Donald Trump has revealed the next phase of his current redesign obsession.

The 79-year-old president hinted on Truth Social that the ’60s modernist building in Washington, D.C., would be getting the Mar-a-Lago special with a gold and marble interior refit, starting, of course, with the theater’s armrests.

“Potential Marble armrests for the seating at The Trump Kennedy Center. Unlike anything ever done or seen before!” Trump announced on Friday evening.

Accompanying images show the hard-stone armrest examples that Trump apparently wants to install in the chairs of the center’s three main theaters.

Someone needs to corral this miserable POS lunatic. Are they waiting for him to “cross” some line? I think he passed that months… YEARS ago.

Anyone got a backbone to spare? *eyeroll*

what sicko psychological bent has made this monster wanting to turn everything into marble? How long will they enable him? just as long as there is another buck to be grifted, until they empty the entire treasury of the USA.
