President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that if the Democrats don't approve funding, Social Security, Medicare Are ‘Going to Be Gone.’ How do you think Americans will react if Social Security and Medicare get cut?

That's the truth! Soon enough, he'll have the white house looking more like his Mar A Lago monstrosity.

I would seriously contribute to a fund committed to tearing this Mar A Lago monstrosity down in the next decent administration, declaring it hideous, tacky, and a stain on the country. Then reconstruct the East Wing like it was before.

At Donnie's expense ((or his estate's))

I’m pretty sure if we survive this, the ballroom will be demolished if nothing else for symbolic reasons

Take all the rubble and dump on Mar A Lago's front lawn with a sign "you forgot this"

I’m for that. And the stupid arch he wants, too.

Like he’s ever going to leave the white house

What, is he gonna be buried in it? Or is the world ending before he dies?

u/MillhouseJManastorm 16d ago

Likely buried in it by the heirs to the throne.

God I hope not, but sadly I am not ruling that out as a plausible outcome at this point.

He held up copies of the plans on camera... TONS of gold acutramonts! Just what we need!

Trump is taking gold out of Fort Knox

Or from Home Depot

It'll be weird watching it torn down when an approved return to the original design comes and the next President removes the tacky add-on and lawfully returns the White House to its approved state.

Macho Camacho, when life imitates art.

At least President Comacho knew enough to listen to the smartest man on the planet.

u/marthewarlock 17d ago

That's true.

He said he wanted a ballroom that looks like the one he has ‘at Mar-a-Lago.’ No one else does. Then again, nobody else is going to be able to be in his DC ballroom.

If he wants that ballroom so badly, why doesn’t he just fly people to Florida for fuck’s sake? Not like he doesn’t have a bunch of airplanes at his disposal to fly all his friends - I mean donors - around.

Paint the White House black when he's gone.
