So what’s the order of demolition? First comes the Arc de Trumph, then the nameplates on the Kennedy Center, then this?
(I assume the ballroom is going to call for something more careful than a wrecking ball.)

But it is getting a ballroom, an arch, and a statue of Columbus!
The USA needs a deTrumpification scheme to put in place for 2029.

With the closing of the Kennedy Center and the cuts at the Post, the Washington, DC metro area has lost its biggest arts institution and of its largest local journalism outlet.

"Owning the libs" is a key policy goal of the Trump administration, which is sad because it does nothing to improve the welfare of the United States--which is, at core, what a president is supposed to aspire to do.
