1. And tear down that pesky WWII memorial while they're at it and replace it
Fri Jan 9, 2026, 06:50 AM
Yesterday

with a Trump Memorial, twice the size of the Lincoln Memorial, with a Golden [plaited] Trump seated on a golden throne looking down the reflecting pool towards Abe Lincoln.

And the Trump statue would be like Janus, one head looking towards Lincoln, the other looking towards the Trump and Washington Monuments -- you need not guess which one would be bigger. Bigger and, of course, plaited in gold trim.

I think that would be a nice addition, don't you? asked millions of red-hat wearing, large potbellied men, along with every Republican Representative in the House of the same name.


And then, with the East and West wings "evened out" the Administration could get rid of that paltry "White House" in the middle and put up, instead, a multi storied edifice, The Trump Presidential Tower, with marble-floored and walled bathrooms and golden toilets in every living quarter. Maybe 70 storeys? With a rotating observation deck at the very top which will afford a sweeping view of the entirety of the Federal Sector of Trump-Washington D.C., access granted to select foreign dignitaries and, of course, generously-donating billionaires and multi-millionaires and their entourages.

Hmmm, and that reflecting pool. I wonder what use could be made of it, once it's paved over?
