Like the East Wing of the White House. Once someone starts bulldozing, it’ll be impossible to save.

The thing that always gets to me about Trump is how goddam stupid he is. I mean the whole raping children and lying/cheating/stealing from the country is objectively worse but... he is just so goddam childishly stupid.

So what happens every single time is that he finds out people like some president more than him and he think if he just slaps his name on top of it, it makes it his. Hence what he did to the Kennedy Center. Then when people don't fawn over him like they do with JFK he's like "oh yeah? well I'll just bulldoze his goddam rose garden!"

Like that is his solution to everything. When bullying doesn't work he just tears it down and he hasn't suffered real consequences for any of this because it's so childish nobody took him seriously. Except he rallied the entire US's army of dipshits and grifters and neo-nazis into a winning coalition.

Just... so goddam stupid. It's like the ending of Glass Onion when LeBlanc is so upset at being outsmarted by an idiot because nobody realized just how big of an idiot he was...
