    Trump has a long history of ruining buildings. I remember reading how he purchased a building in New York that had some unique Art Deco installations. Some people (it was a museum I think) asked him if they could remove the installations so they could be preserved as he intended to renovate the building. He ordered the installations to be taken down and melted instead of allowing them to be preserved.

    Found the article: https://news.artnet.com/art-world/donald-trump-bonwit-teller-friezes-met-2132673

    He’s such a loser.

      Yea I remember reading about that. The thing that’s baffling to me is that he painted the gold parts white. Covering shit in gold paint has been his whole thing since like the 80s. If he painted the whole thing gold it wouldn’t be quite as confusing to me.

        Because he didn’t make them gold.

        Watch him repaint them during the “renovation” and proclaim how he made it so beautiful, instead of all that ugly white Obama had! (or some other complete bullshit lie)

        Who knows what goes in that honeycomb brain of his. He wasn’t a bright man when he was younger, now who even knows.
