"Nobody said I couldn't, so I did." [View all]

That seems to be the guiding philosophy behind trump's "redecorating" scheme. After destroying the East Wing, trashing the Lincoln Reflecting Pool, turning the Rose Garden into Mar a Lago North, planning to install a hideous giant arch in honor of himself that will block the view of Arlington, and splattering tacky gold bling onto every available surface in what's left of the White House, now he's "fixing" the columns on the porch. Could be that his latest reno is channeling his grandfather, creating a suitable entrance for what he hopes will be an official government whore house. And those who could stop him are waiting for their share of the proceeds.
