    I really wasn’t going to post this because I decided it was an irrelevant insult at the time and we need to be better.

    But I read the article and got serious imperial vibes and so fuck it, because this guy needs to be taken down a peg at every opportunity at this point.

    Clues from Trump’s time in office point to yes, actually. In a December 21, 2020, executive order, then-President Donald Trump praised Greek and Roman architecture for being designed to “beautify public spaces and inspire civic pride.” Similarly, classical-style buildings like the Lincoln Memorial, Capitol Building, Supreme Court, and White House, Trump remarked, “have become iconic symbols of our system of government.”

    A construction magnate and property developer, and a cheapo, shitty one at that, thinks we need to spend more money on making buildings prettier.

    Just like that wall, it’s an excuse to spend a lot on construction and development that allows him to funnel money to his cronies.

    I recently visited Germany for the first time and was amazed at their street cleaning crews that ran every morning and their nice roads, mass transit, and infrastructure.

    There is an absurd amount of wealth in the US, it would be nice if we could have nice things too. I’m sure this is a grift coming from Trump, but I would love for some money to be spent improving our cities instead of just using it to blow people up overseas.

    He’ll bring cheese berders. Everything is better with cheese berders.
