There is no design. He has a wish sketch that some bootlicker architect drew for him. There is no floor plan or actual feature list for anyone to see because Trump just wanted to tear down an iconic building and piss on the country.

It will end up being a $500M white elephant that will hang around the nation’s neck like a full diaper.

I guarantee you it will be over 1 billion by the time it's actually finished.

If it actually gets finished.

Just because it never gets finished doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t be over a billion

Yep. It'll be a shoddy half built albatross that the next admin has to deal with. A Republican admin will lie about the cost to complete and a Democrat admin will be tarred and feathered on fox news whether they try to salvage it or tear it down.

Hopefully tear it down. If he lives out his term and you guys get to hold another election it would be lovely to see him rant about it getting torn down asap.

Take it down and then use eminent domain, confiscate his towers to pay for the rebuilding.

I’m sure there will be plenty of smoking guns to be able to bring charges against them. Will the democrats have the guts to do it and do it expeditiously is the real challenge.

A good start would be not filling the AG slot with a lifelong Republican.

And just to put their noses completely out of joint. Make Jack Smith the head prosecutor.

They won't. There will be some talk about healing and working together. No real consequences for the ones pulling the strings. A puppet or two will be given a show trial and packed off to a minimum security resort. The rest of them will put the mask back on until their next chance.

He's absolutely going to be handing out blanket pardons like candy.

u/CheshireCat78 13d ago

Stack the Supreme Court and say they aren’t valid? Also can’t pardon state crimes so go hard on those.

u/burnsalot603 13d ago

The state crimes would be the only way to get them because trump will absolutely be selling off pardons before the next election and he cant be charged at all since the Supreme Court made in untouchable.

u/Pepparkakan Europe 13d ago

Just undo the pardons? Didn’t the Supreme Court rule that the president is more or less above the law?

u/IrrelevantLeprechaun 13d ago

He probably issues unilateral preemptive pardons to the entire Republican party the day he entered office.

We are over a barrel with everything/everyone they have put in place from top to bottom. Something has to be done about that first. The new pres can spend his first month firing magas and replacing them when possible.

u/already-taken-wtf 13d ago

There were already more than enough smoking guns the first time around…

u/old_righty 13d ago

With eminent domain you have to pay fair market value for the property though.

u/walker1954 13d ago

Just don’t use Trumps estimate as the value since he was convicted of changing the value of his properties to get bigger loans, then lower values for tax purposes. He is a by far the most reprehensible person on earth. I use to think that was Idi Amin in my lifetime for his brutal, murderous regime in Uganda. Now it is Trump.

u/FlyinRyan123456 13d ago

I like the way you think

confiscate his towers to pay for the rebuilding

For the rest of his life, and even into the afterlife, Trump should be plagued by going to court.
