Sorry Canadians
Edit of the bird painting from The Mincing Mockingbird that says "i am often seized by the fatal american need to have a pretty good time", but it says "to watch a long game of baseball." The bird is edited to have a baseball bat and an LA dodgers cap. Really hope i got the original painting credit correct. If not let me know and ill post the correction in the replies

He will replace it with more gold chintz
Two contemptuous statements Trump made later in 1980 show that the Bonwit Teller affair, which did long-term damage to his reputation in New York’s intellectual circles, continued to trouble Trump. At an event in the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan, Trump, its owner, expressed his opinion about the table decorations made out of gold mylar and the lion’s head medallions over the entrance to the ballroom: “Real art, not like the junk I destroyed at Bonwit Teller.” And in the summer of that year, a New York Times story quoted Trump: “‘There is nothing I would like to do more than give something to a museum,’ he said in a recent interview. Why? ‘I’ve always been interested in art.’ A visitor observed that there was no art in Mr. Trump’s office. The developer considered this for a moment. Then, with a smile, he pointed to an idealized illustration of Trump Tower hanging on one of the walls. ‘If that isn’t art,’ Mr. Trump said, ‘then I don’t know what is.'”

He will destroy the whole thing if allowed
. ‘My biggest concern was the safety of people on the street below,’ said the 33-year-old developer, who contended that cranes, scaffolding and the most careful handling could not have assured the safe removal of the cracked and weathered two-ton limestone panels from high on the building’s facade. ‘If one of those stones had slipped,’ he said, ‘people could have been killed. To me, it would not have been worth that kind of risk.'” In truth, Trump’s biographer Harry Hurt III confirmed, Trump himself ensured that the workers were told to remove the bronze latticework over the entrance with blowtorches, separate the friezes from the walls with jackhammers and break them off with crowbars, and throw them down into the interior of the building where they shattered into a million pieces. Ashton Hawkins, vice president and secretary of the board of trustees of the Met, was among those outraged and told The New York Times in June 1980: “How extraordinary. I know that there was an offer of a gift in the event that the objects could be saved. I would think that would be sufficient to guide them in their actions. We are certainly very disappointed and quite surprised.” Hawkins dismissed with a single sentence Trump’s argument that the sculptures had no value: “Can you imagine the museum accepting them if they were not of artistic merit?” “The reliefs are as important as the sculptures on the Rockefeller building,” elaborated the gallerist Robert Miller, who had assessed the reliefs earlier. “They’ll never be made again.” Continuation of the quote from the previous screenshot

Saw this post on Tumblr yesterday, had a similar sentiment
Screenshot of Tumblr. The first post is a screenshot from V for Vendetta, where V is making breakfast in an apron. He says "Can't destroy a government on an empty stomach." The reblog by deehellcat says "darn right. I know it feels bizarre to have to keep doing regular everyday things with (waves hands) all this going on, but remember, if you don't, then you got creeping fascism AND no clean underwear, and nobody wants that."

Turbohio and Long Florida for the uninitiated
Screen shot of a Tumblr post where user cipheramnesia posts: make one where the fewest possible states can access the ocean. Tumblr user seabassapologist responds with an edit of the map of the Continental United States, where the border is a long blue strip labeled "Long Florida". The center is red and labeled "Turbohio"
