In reply to the discussion: More gawdy White House renovations. [View all]calimary
(91,767 posts)38. THIS!
Or rather, THESE!!!
All of these:
- Remove every inch of gold spray painted crap.
- Restore the Rose Garden.
- Demolish the "ball room".
- Restore the Reflecting Pool using competent contractors.
- Remove every single picture he put up.
- Put his portrait in the basement.
ALL OF THEM!!! EVERY LAST MISERABLE ONE OF EM!!!
And then, arrange a TV special, like Jackie hosted long ago, of a tour of the (restored) White House, so America can see what a tasteful and historic landmark it is, once again. A lucky presidential family gets to live in it for four-to-eight years, but it was, is, and will always be THE PEOPLES HOUSE, for as long as there is an America.
Return solemn dignity to the White House. Its the ONLY way to go.

Trump is obsessed with anything Corinthian since learning about those "Two Corinthians" in his bible reading days.

It should be funded by generous 'donations' from all the corporations and billionaires who are funding this in the first

Because it's the historic people's house, not some plaything for a demented rapist?

No matter the cost the trumpy "renovations" need to be redone to their original state IMO.

Wait until the entire North Portico collapses after his sketchy kick-back contractor screws up the "repairs."
