Trump tore this down. This was the hallway to a door on the East Wing. He needs to be stopped now.

[Botany]

The White House is not Trump’s property it is owned by the American people. He is also
ruining the colonnade walkway from the residential quarters to the West Wing with gold crap
and some kind of “Hall of Fame” garbage too.



The herring bone pattern on those bricks was exquisite.

Make the Republicans own this too. The businesses who are paying for the ballroom have
something like 380 billion in contracts with the federal government they also own the
destruction of America’s treasures to.

[RainCaster]

1. When we are back in power

Those businesses who paid for this shit need to pay for the complete tear down and rebuild.

[LiberalArkie]

39. I hope we do better than the damn Homeland Security dept... I was scared when all the U.S. police, investigation,

justice was put under one person under Bush.

[LuvLoogie]

52. When would that be?

Women are getting dragged out of cars and shot and abducted in the streets of Chicago by our government. Dems just capitulated to trump again after voters marched in the streets and swept the special elections.

Leadership is shooting us in the back.

[RainCaster]

53. Now that I've seen Schumer in action...

I'm thinking NEVER!

I know he voted against it, but he orchestrated the whole vote, abdicating all our power. He's the one who helped choose those Dems who are not up for election for 4+ years. For what? He gave up all the power that we showed in last week's election.

[eppur_se_muova]

2. We should probably be referring to these "donations" as "extortions" or "protection money".

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x75bt6

[markodochartaigh]

13. I'm equivocal on that.

Sure some businesses, universities, and media have been coerced by Trump's mob-style shakedowns, however many others have willingly "obeyed in advance" looking for ways to serve their master.

[eppur_se_muova]

19. I do share some of that equivocation. There are some "teacher's pets", and then there's the rest of the class.

"You forgot to assign homework!"
{teacher turns back, objects are hurled}

[Farmer-Rick]

25. So what???

Just because they willingly bribed and gave away millions of their corporations profits to pedo Trump doesn't make it OK.

Yeah, if you're a criminal working for a corp. you will still act criminally.

All these corporations, CEOs, executives and pedo Trump suck ups working for businesses, using the corp to hide behind, are still very prosecutable.

This time, there will be no Obama to protect the Nazi criminals and tell everyone to look forward not backwards. No ones going to save them this time.

[markodochartaigh]

38. It's the difference between weak friends and strong enemies,

neither is what you want but it is important to know the difference.

[AllaN01Bear]

33. hem. i cut to the chase . bribe. extortion. and what other adverbs u cah add.

[reACTIONary]

51. I would call it a bribe...

... no quid pro quo? Let's call it a subrosa bribe.

[allegorical oracle]

3. Michelle Obama, on Colbert's show, called the East Wing "The Heart

of the White House." She said it was a gathering spot for casual conversation and camaraderie.

[CTyankee]

7. Words cannot express how much I have loved and now miss the Obamas.

But they deserve a nice retirement and relief from the stress of the presidency.

[C_U_L8R]

4. It's going to take a deep deTrumping to make it right again

That stink lingers.

[erronis]

14. And the rot that trump and putin installed will take years of disinfecting.

[Dave Bowman]

5. This is pure vandalism.

[RandomNumbers]

6. When this is all over - if good ever comes back in power -

many will realize that it was NEVER about making America "great" again, by any definition (even a racist one).

It was always about destroying America. Little by little, crush a good thing here, a good thing there ... until what's left is garbage.

Putin is so happy.

[Walleye]

10. I've been saying this ever since 2017. He laughs himself to sleep every night.

[slightlv]

29. I agree Putin is thrilled

With the destruction of everything meaningful to us.

But trump even said straight out this would be his revenge tour. And so it's been...

[PatSeg]

40. Yes, Trump likes to brag about being a "builder",

but really he is a destroyer. Like a toddler, he loves knocking things down, even those that he builds.

[Norrrm]

8. I destroyed the East Wing for a better view.

[William Seger]

9. Article of Impeachment #____: Destruction of historic public property (nt)

[Walleye]

11. There are plenty of images here in the public domain for ads

We should be making and playing advertisements constantly from now until election day

[twodogsbarking]

12. If it don't look trashy it can't be classy. djt

[Botany]

15. Class of a cat's asshole

[ChicagoTeamster]

16. He's a vulgar, classless, rich clown with a talent for ripping people off.

Trump's penthouse in Trump Tower was used for Satan's apartment in the movie Devil's Advocate.

Devil’s Advocate’ Screenwriter: ‘Everyone Was Laughing’ At Donald Trump And His ‘Garish… Sh*tbag’ Trump Tower Apartment When We Shot Scenes There

https://uproxx.com/movies/donald-trump-tower-apartment-the-devils-advocate/

He inherited his wealth and has survived all of his bankruptcies by partnering with the Russian Mob and ripping people off. He has no sense of design thinks that covering everything in cheap bonded gold knick knacks makes everything beautiful because it exudes wealth. The creativity and craftmanship that had always gone into everything from tile floors to the choice of paint, paneling, and wall art, rugs and grapery was always lost on someone like Trump. He thinks making something look more expensive means it's better. Quality and detail aren't considerations.

[Botany]

18. Those two pictures of the inside and outside exude class, style, and craftsmanship

From angle of the walls, to the herring bone brick, to the windows, to the granite cobbles* on the
drive up to the front door, and the winterberry holly fruits it was all top of the line workmanship
and materials and Trump just shit on it.

*. Those granite cobbles would have lasted for hundreds of more years… they were perfect.

[ChicagoTeamster]

26. That's just part of what he tore out. God only knows how bad this ballroom will look when it's done.

[Fil1957]

17. A Facebook friend and hardcore Republican visited the White House a few months ago in a state of euphoria since his

guy was now the occupant. He posted several really nice pictures he took during his tour of the East Wing.

When it was torn down he made no comment, but he has removed his East Wing pictures from his Facebook account.

[the_liberal_grandpa]

20. As soon as we can we

bulldoze mar-a -lago

[flashman13]

21. It is under stated and elegant both. That's not something Trump would understand.

Cheesy geegaws and greasy burgers are his style.

[John1956PA]

22. The colonnade was constructed in 1902 under Theodore Roosevelt's Administration.

Ignorant MAGAs argue that the only architecture which was demolished had been constructed in the 1940s.

[FB47243]

23. Very Sad

My memory of entering thru the east wing and The one and only time I was there was in Feb 1971 for a MOH award ceremony where Nixon presented my Army 1st Sgt (had been promoted to Cpt by then) Bob Howard the honor. I remember Nixon asking Bob if he would stay for lunch and Bob replied “no thank you, I want to go to the Tomb” that being the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier. That’s who Bob was.
When I saw the wing being torn down I cried and I screamed.
FDT

[Farmer-Rick]

28. Saw it once myself in the 80s

It was surprisingly cozy and had a nice comfortable feel to it. I thought it would be awful, museum like, all marble and gold. But it wasn't, it had a feeling of warmth and intimacy.

Not anymore. It's going to be ugly marble and gold. So cold, unapproachable and uncomfortable. Just like a badly designed museum. Why do the filthy-rich like so much cold marble and boring gold? Do they go to museums and say, "Yes, this is where I want to live?"

[littlemissmartypants]

24. The entrance used by dignitaries from countries all over the world for countless visits...

32. Those are hand split or cut granite cobbles that were installed over a bed of limestone gravel,

which was compacted in lifts, then had a layer of limestone sand over the gravel, all the time drainage
and grading was taken care of, then the cobbles were installed according to designed pattern, and
then sand was swept into the joints between the granite pieces to lock ‘em into place. It was a work
of art.

[littlemissmartypants]

35. I weep.

[Botany]

37. We have zillions of landscape companies that can install brick (concrete) pavers in America but the

….. number that could do that kind of design and build with those cut granite cobbles that were in
that picture is very few. If there is really a God she would then strike Trump dead right now. Almost
every piece of granite in that driveway was measured and hand cut.

[Joinfortmill]

27. Hate his guts.

[republianmushroom]

30. Republicans are great at tearing thing down,

but, piss poor are building thing up, except, finical debt.

[Exp]

31. Republicans are why we can't have nice things. Right along with affordable healthcare, education, food, energy and

housing.

[greatauntoftriplets]

34. Anyone who has toured the White House has walked through that door.

That was the entrance for the White House tours when they had them.

[Totally Tunsie]

36. Once our Dems regain power, I hope that any photo of Dozing Donnie

shows him in an orange jumpsuit, behind bars. It would be such a fitting replacement for Joe Biden's autopen insult.

[thomhartmann]

41. The east portico was designed by Thomas Jefferson

And Trump tore it down…

[Emile]

48. Thom, we should have asked for a deposit before

letting him move in.

[bagimin]

54. I don't know how much more of this

I can take. This goes way beyond "depressing".

[Grammy23]

42. tRump has been described as a malignant narcissist.

Few would argue against it since he ticks nearly every descriptive box of a malignant narcissist.

Above all, a person like this wants to hurt others and cause pain.

tRump was angry and decided he knew exactly how to inflict pain on a lot of people all at once. Just start destroying the People’s House. And it worked. Don’t you know he just sat back in his chair and laughed and laughed at what he did?

[Kid Berwyn]

43. Criminal Destruction of Government Property

I’m so old I remember when it was a Federal Offense.

[Emile]

44. We should have made him pay a deposit before moving in.

[Buddyzbuddy]

45. Putin is laughing his ass off. Best investment he ever made and not a shot fired at America.

Thanks to Kraznov and a whole slew of people that intelligence agents tried to warn us against. Manafort, Stone, Rudy, etc., etc.

[Botany]

47. And don't forget our right wing media and social media sites that have been repeating Russian propaganda

… for decades now. Putin put Trump up to running for President in 2013 in order to cripple
America from inside with a malignant egotistical sociopath. And with that he has been very
successful. Trump’s appeal to a shockingly large % of the American population, …. 35% “ ….
that is racist, sexist, and anti intellectual, a voting system that is wide open to abuse and hacks
along with a built in “let the person who got less votes win” called the electoral college which is a
legacy of slavery, and billionaires/fossil fuel industries with their think tanks, citizens United money,
and crypto shit has ruined America.

[Buddyzbuddy]

50. All true, Botany, all true.

[TommieMommy]

46. He destroyed something that was beautiful and didn't belong to him. 😡

[Botany]

49. Yup!

He should have been in prison years ago.
