      Nothing says presidential dignity quite like leaving a giant Octagon shaped scaffolding on the lawn forever because it looks cool

      Oh, it will come down, my guy. Come hell or high water, it’s coming down.

      Doesn’t this kind of fully negate the security need he’s claimed the ballroom is for? I mean that’s already obvious bullshit anyway, but “we need security!!! Oh hey lets have rowdy UFC crowds all the time” is just in your face.

      It also signals to me desperation that all his other projects are failing, so he’s trying to permamentize a temporary structure thats obvious shit, just because it might be the only thing he gets built.

      It’s stage truss installed for an event. The very definition of a temporary structure

      Oh we will tear it down eventually, just like every other vanity project you are working on.

      Hell YEAH! Put an old Ford/Chevy/Chrysler on the lawns somewhere, get a hootin’ jug and lose the shoes. What a loon.

      “We have to host White House events in a tent, this is an embarrassment. It’s not classy.”

      > Proceed to build a giant UFC arena on the front lawn.

      Remember all the pearl-clutching when Obama installed basketball hoops?

      At any given point in time, Pete Kegsbreath is one beer away from performing a flying elbow drop on a microwave covered in barb wire. This is where he could do it.

      force Republicans to pass their own funding bills to maintain or remove all this trash forever

      The Eiffel Tower was built for the World’s Fair – a testament to the commonality of the people throughout the world. It was an opportunity to learn from others and spark a hope for the future.

      This arena, however, says, “We fight people for spectacle.”

      Republicans :

      Well done again for voting a man who has full blown dementia into office.

      Your Biden deflection is fucking pointless.

    19. thekinginyello on

      Just go ahead and have broken down vehicles towed on the lawn to sit and rust. Maybe set up a chicken coop, too.

    20. shoule79 on

      Translation, they didn’t budget removal and it’s there to stay until it rots away.

      I’m hoping that the next person that gets into office tears down everything he did during his dumb presidency

      Paved over the rose garden, bulldozed the East Wing, and wants an eyesore (and embarrassing parallel to Idiocracy) of a temporary UFC arena to stay up permanently.

    24. JSA607 on

      He is literally just demented. Stop paying attention to any of the stupid things he says

    26. Obstructive on

      This is going to be very useful when they start asking for volunteer tributes from the thirteen districts.

    28. JerryAtrics_ on

      So we are celebrating the 250th anniversary of the US with an event that will not be available to the general public unless they make a payment to a private corporation.

    29. superjaded08 on

      Cannot wait to bulldoze every last remnant of this piece of trash (Trump) and his legacy from existence

    30. Calm_Chemist_4952 on

      He would say that. He wants to leave the white house in shambles like everything else he’s ever touched in his entire life. Signature move for the absolute worst president of all time.
