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.

Trump’s commutation wasn’t merely a favor to a disgraced ally. It was a declaration that the federal justice system now runs on personal loyalty to him.
His act of mercy stole justice from the citizens whose trust Santos so thoroughly defiled. trib.al/fIpq1ao

The East Wing used to be how members of the public would enter the White House.
It's been replaced by a ball room for billionaires.
The symbolism here could not be more on the nose.
