    The enraging thing about all this (besides the fact he’s doing it) is that the right would absolutely LOSE THEIR SHIT if a democrat even did a whisper of anything like this. What a spineless, worthless bunch of hypocritical bootlicking fascists.

      The right is a bunch of braindead babies led by whatever emotion their TVs and social feeds tell them to feel. Traitors to throw country and constitution. Despicable.

    Has anyone else heard that tRump is planning to bury the Epstein Files in the foundation of the Epstein Ballroom?

  • Destroying the grounds of the White House should seriously be the least of the concerns of Americans in the face of fascism and paramilitary deployments in that country. Burn the White House to the ground for all I care, it is pretty gross that the symbol of the country is a plantation house.

    Respect is a two way street and it’s abundantly clear Trump has never had an iota of respect for anyone but demands respect from others.

    Nobody respects this man. The people surrounding him are exploiting him just like Trump exploited his own father Fred Trump during his final years. They feign respect of Trump while holding the knives to stab him in the back behind their own backs, waiting for the moment to strike.

      Nobody respects this man.

      He’s a tool to extract surplus labor value from the country. And in that regard, he’s a national treasure. The folks in Trump’s inner circle have enriched themselves enormously. And the wealth they’ve accrued will be recycle into future generations as a means of bribing, extorting, and abusing the next generation of “democratic” leadership into furthering the cycle of abuse.

      When Trump dies, he’ll be held up with the same veneration as Andrew Jackson, William McKinley, and Ronald Reagan. The icon of what a President should be - an extraordinarily useful idiot.

      They feign respect of Trump while holding the knives to stab him in the back

      Trump won’t be stabbed in the back. He’s the golden goose, shitting out the US Treasury like clockwork. He’ll be celebrated for ages by the oligarchy. The gift that never stopped giving.

    Okay, so imagine that we actually manage to have elections in 2026, and again in 2028. Also imagine that by then, Trump’s health has gotten so bad he’s no longer president, or has even died.

    In that scenario, I would 100% support the use of taxpayer funds to demolish Trump’s disgusting ballroom, and restore the East Wing as it was the day Biden left office, as closely as possible.

    Furthermore, I would support a long-term effort to utterly and systematically obliterate any trace of Trump, Trumpism, and Trump’s “legacy” in the government. Wipe him from history completely, except as a cautionary tale. Let nothing be named after him, or bear any of his fingerprints.

    Finally, I would obviously support the absolute demolition of any and all of his businesses, to claw back everything he stole from us. Even if it costs more than we’d be able to recoup, just to ensure no one EVER fucking does this shit again. Leave no trace of his businesses standing. Let “Trump Tower” become a homeless shelter.

      As someone from Europe: Almost all of that should have happened after the January 6 insurrection 5 years ago.

        He should have been in jail long before that, impeached with the help of his party and barred from ever serving as President again. A reminder that Trump is not the sole problem, and is more of a symptom of a bigger issue that has been allowed to grow for decades.

        He should’ve been imprisoned when he refused to return all the classified documents they found at Mar-a-Lago. That should’ve been the end of it right then and there. There are people in cells at Leavenworth for much lesser security violations.

        In those countries, he wouldn’t be able to do what he’s done with our Congress. Every day, he commits impeachable acts, but the only political body that could do anything about it is compromised.

          in other countries, they dont have a significant amount of right wing politicians in the government, US is considered the most right wing country in the west. why do you think so many foreign conservatives flock to the US to immigrate.

      You and I are so on the same page with this. The next President - if they are a Democrat, should use Trump’s “Presidential Immunity” in the administration of recouping tax dollars for the American people and write up an Executive Order, taking Trump Tower, Bedminster and Mar-a-lago, selling the lot and using the money to remove and rebuild everyting within the Federal Government with his name on it. Also, using the precedent established by Trump to use the DOJ for personal vendettas, they should be instructed to disassemble all of the Trump Organization’s holdings and repatriate those billions.

      I imagine such moves would force the GOP to get on board with putting teeth into the laws that set the checks and balances between the Executive, Judiciary and Legislative branches, and set that back up again - this time with steep criminal sanctions if those laws are violated.

      Keep it and turn into a giant open floor plan workspace to gather people to fix everything Trump busted. Keep it simple.

      Sell all the tacky gold crap that will inevitably be there. MAGA will buy it up. Use the money to buy office equipment and fund the transition.

      Your words show me that youre hurt, but well meaning. But thats not the proper way to go aboit these things. We should ignore him after hes gone and not do things out of spite. You could do much better by using several hundreds millions of dollars that you would use to destroy the ballroom by just helping people in need. And there are a lot of people that would be much more gratefull that you gave them the means to survive another day than to watch you kick the living shit out of Trump’s corpse.

        Trump has debased our currency, and the Blue States will have to invent a new one to restore confidence.

        I just watched Bannon say the pedo-in-chief is their god’s instrument and that he needs another term to finish what he started.

        I guess Bannon is smart enough to know that what the pedo-in-chief would do is destroy everything we know about this country. If I believed in fairy tales written by sheepherders, I’d think that Bannon is the antichrist.

    After it’s all put back the way it was, I want to see plaques all over the place for the irreplaceable things he trashed

    On this site the historic commemorative trees were demolished by Donald Trump on 24 October 2025 to make space for the Epstein Ballroom. The trees had been carefully tended for 103 years on the day of their death, having survived a economic depression, war after war, and 26 presidential terms with leaders of both parties.
    

    Something like that. We can hope someone relocated them to a park or even a backyard, but they probably became the sawdust in the authentic vomitorium.

    Increasingly thinking we should create a new presidential mansion in a different city and close the white house permanently for non museum use.

    Like you know that like half the construction crew is gonna be guys named Ivan who have suspicious links to moscow.
