Trump demolishing an important piece of American history in order to put up a tacky tourist attraction

[Aristus]

is SO on-brand for him...

1. It appears that there is no effort to salvage any of it. If for no other reason just the value at auction would probably

be substantial. This is a goddamn travesty.

2. Not even a tourist attraction.

It's a temple to money laundering.

Just like the "Rose Garden Club". He is turning the White House into Mara Lago..so he doesn't have to eat diner ALONE in the White House.
He can go out onto the Parking Lot in the back yard, and be applauded by asshats that want to give him money for favors.

He has no intention of leaving.

4. He said it himself "it smells like money".

6. I would think

A Higher Power has something to say about that. Keep eating those Big Macs, Don!

[Ocelot II]

3. It's not meant as a tourist attraction. It's a venue for the entertainment of the oligarchs

who are seeking favors with offers of bribes.

5. AKA...

Where the 'king' intends to hold court.
