Quotable Quotes

Rep. Dan Sullivan on Putin: ~ "A dictator, an authoritarian, a mafia regime leader."....

Trump in response: ~ "I have to make deals with people, so I don't go around calling them names... I don't go around mocking people. You know, part of the reason you have [the Iran war] in the first place is Biden went around mocking Russia and mocking everybody else and didn't know what he was doing."....

There are numerous problems.
- Trump began construction before the "public", in this case a euphemism for $taxpayer, was made aware Trump's design doesn't even meet fire code.
- Trump told a variety of lies about it.
> Trump said the new construction would not interfere with the pre-existing white house
> the project would not cost the U.S. $taxpayer, the project would be fully funded by private donations
> it would not disrupt the DC skyline

This raises question about whether this is about Trump self-aggrandizement, or the exercise of power, with absolute impunity.

Trump does not "own" the white house. It's U.S. government housing. Trump is a (hopefully temporary) tenant.
When I was a U.S. military member (President Trump is "commander in chief") the UCMJ prohibited destruction of government property.

Why don't we offer Trump the choice:
- either complete your FINAL presidential term in Leavenworth, OR
- entirely from Trump's own personal funding replace the now demolished East wing with an identical duplicate.

Enjoy your stay in Leavenworth Mr. President.
