It certainly seems like an ENIGMA.
Unbelievable and far more scandalous than a golden shower. So… considering the frenzied reaction, could it be what it seems to be?

Where will Melania’s offices now be located? Was this demolition disaster mostly about his ego but partly about showing her who’s boss?

Just a wild thought but could the complete demolition of the east wing have simply been Trump giving the finger to Melania?!

I THOUGHT you looked a bit different. Also the stories were made out to be truly explosive — Miller spitting, melting down etc and Trump going crazi(er) but the content was much more subdued. I’m wondering if it was to detract from your usual trustworthiness by making it seem ‘you’ exaggerated?

Well said! It would have been the go-to system for social organisation in prehistoric times and would have worked pretty well in small communities before population growth enabled feudalism and other hierarchies to develop. What an ignoramus.

Wouldn’t it be a shame if there was such massive opposition against any builder who considered taking on the ballroom construction that it was left a smouldering wreck for the next 3 1/2 years?

This is visceral and while trying to to avoid false hope, I believe this physical wanton destruction will impact more of his base than his attacks on the rule of law and political norms.
