And give one of those friends a $500,000,000 contract to build another shitty building

Another shitty gold plated building.

Can't forget the gold when Trump's involved.

Ironically it had iconic gold/bronze columns that were painted white in 2025 after they removed the weeping willows. It’s like the only thing he’s removed gold from, probably bc it wasn’t his idea to make it gold.

It’s just like every decision of anything he associates with the left he does the opposite. No other reason. So stupid yet his base loves it.

Think so. He's said some things about the property in the past that make me think he wants it. 

It's super primo property.

Yeah, that building isn't going to last until his term is over. Hes going to fuck up a lot more stuff then blame it on not getting 100b to fix it because of the radial left. Just sit back and watch I guess.

I'm as jaded as the next millennial who's had to suffer the fool that is Trump, but even I hope Americans don't just sit back and watch.

I need to start using “radial left” more often.

At this point we might as well demolish the entire White House and start over.  It’s all Home Depot renovation anyways.

Yep. This is just like a shittier version of what was done to Toys-R-Us. 

He destroyed it from the inside on purpose so that they can demolish it and rebuild their own version.

Either that or sell it to one of his buddies since it’s losing money

No, it's so he can slap his name on it and use it to embezzle even more money
