From what I've been able to determine, this is illegal and being done without required approvals. It serves as a metaphor for the way this administration is breaking the law, dismantling public structures, and undermining democratic values. As Aristotle wrote, "Character is revealed through action."
Foul stench of the circles of hell. Evil incarnate.
The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.
