Pictures have leaked showing Trump's destruction of the historic White House West Colonnade walkway.

I fucking hate him.

This colonnade? THIS ONE?

Trump is a fucking pig.

President Trump’s redesign of the White House continues at a rapid pace. This week, he revealed he was replacing the Tennessee flagstone in the West Wing colonnade—the walkway that leads from the main part of the White House to the Oval Office and runs alongside the Rose Garden—with black granite.

“It’s a great contrast. The white, with the black,” Trump told reporters. “It’s a beautiful, black granite.” He added he was paying for the tiles for the new walkway, which now features his “Presidential Walk of Fame.” According to the New York Post, “The National Park Service will take possession of the current Tennessee flagstone pavers. The stones will be sent to a nursery where they will be kept for future use.”

22. Speaking as an EMT
Sat Mar 28, 2026, 10:59 AM

I'm an old EMT, still licensed, but at 81 no longer running rescue -- help keeping records and supplies, training, keep the ambulances stocked and clean.

The second emergency call I ran years ago was this. I lived in rural Virginia, ran rescue there for 15 years. Because our station was not staffed, when we were dispatched, we had to go to the station, get the ambulance, collect a crew, and get to the scene. As a result, all us EMT's and Paramedics carried well-stocked bags in our vehicles and, if the scene was close to where we were when dispatched, we could go directly to the scene and do what we could before the ambulance and crew arrived.

About a mile from my home was a group of waterfront (Chesapeake Bay) weekend and vacation homes. A bunch of 5-8 guys would come down from DC on the weekends to one house, drink beer, play poker, watch NFL on Sunday.

One of them went on a beer run, came back in carrying a couple of cases. Entrance foyer had granite flagstones that were damp -- it was raining, they were tracking in moisture.

He slipped on the granite, fell forward, smacked his forehead, defecated and urinated all over himself, and went unconscious. The other guys called 911, I was on the scene about 6 minutes after their call. When I arrived he was already into decorticate posturing -- stiff, bent arms held against the chest, clenched fists, and rigid, extended legs -- sure sign of severe bleeding in the brain, death only minutes away. The fact of urination and defecation were sure signs he was all but dead -- sphincter muscles involuntarily relaxed. I could hear his agonal breathing before I even opened the door. He gave two gasps and was gone.

And that, folks, is what will happen on the White House colonnade. Let's hope it happens to you-know-who on the first day because you know he will insist on being the first to prance down the walkway.

Hate and envy, probably. Deep down, I think he hates President Biden because Biden is man enough to show caring, compassion, and love - and great strength of character - with every move he makes. Biden is, at his most basic, a kind man. He’ll be remembered with love and genuine admiration, long after the potshotters are dead and gone.

As for trump, well, NONE of the above.

Sat Mar 28, 2026, 09:39 AM

its porous and water seeps thru it. It cleans up well with a good wash. Granite on the other hand can be slippery, imagine that it gets oil or and greasy substance on it..then its like ice. This area is constantly exposed to weather - all kinds. I would imagine they used deicing stuff in the winter.

Even the aerosols used to spray the plants or emanating from small garden equipment exhausts that settles on it is enough to slick it up. Especially 2 cycle equipment.

Herring Bone brick floor, plaster work that is timeless, beautiful windows, angle work

come from Home Depot.



Hand split granite cobbles under a formal arch to welcome guests to the White House.

The black granite is polished. When even slightly damp, it's like walking on ice. In fact, it's slippery even when bone dry.

The Tennessee flagstones are slight rough, solid footing, not slippery, even when wet or icy.

Maybe Trump will be the first to fall, smack his head on the granite, suffer cerebral hemorrhage, go into decerebrate posturing, and die within minutes.

He said that about other things ,too, but it isn't true. Even if he did pay for it he has pocketed billions from the job he stole. Skimming, stealing, selling bribes, insider trading, scams, money laundering, selling access (BOP), and awarding government contracts to his kid-run companies. If he puts his name and/or image on our money is it his?
