If you want to get an idea of the Trumpist mindset, I encourage you to check out this 2017 article from Mother Jones.

And if you don't have time to do that (which I totally get), take a quick look at this excerpt:

Only someone this wealthy would so flippantly suggest you uproot your life, sell your house, pull your kids out of school, quit your job, request a transfer — all to save 50 basis points on CPI. 🤡

Trivia: During the opening montage there's a shot of a theater marquee advertising Red River. Editor Christian Nyby obviously inserted this as an inside-joke to himself and cinematographer Russell Harlan, as they worked on both films. #tcmparty #noiralley

Trump plans to name his $300 million ballroom after himself after demolishing the entire East Wing of the White House.

Officials are referring to the grandiose building as 'The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom,' according to ABC News. Trump plans to keep the name when the building is finished.

Unbelievable.

This video attempts to answer the question everyone is asking: “Can a president remodel or demolish the White House? Technically no.”

Kind of late now. Trump already turned a National Historic Landmark into a pile of rubble.

Re the White House destruction, what about asbestos. Sure doesn’t look like they’re taking that seriously
Fun fact: in the late 1800s and early 1900s it was very common to mix asbestos into concrete because it helped prevent the concrete from cracking and is extremely fire resistant. Also it is a million billion tiny knives that hate the cells in your lungs with a passion.
When Chase demolished 270 Park Avenue, it took them two years and there was an absolute fuckton of asbestos abatement involved, and that building was built in 1960. A building built in 1902 would be approximately 40% asbestos by volume.

Attention Republicans: there will be no such thing as a “safe seat” when your constituents find out their healthcare premiums are doubling.

Trump states will get hit hardest, and your voters think you don’t care.
