The Demolition Crew were experts at fast demolition, imho.

I just saw the footage of the demolition and noticed they were spraying the claw and areas right before the claw got to them. There is a method to that madness.

It reduces dust clouds so others nearby may hear the destruction, but not see where it is actually happening and how quickly it is all coming down. When you use a claw like that it makes a really nice demo cloud...they took it down fast and clean, just like the Big Boss ordered.

It is a very old trick slumlords used...tell residents they are going to tent the building for rats and pests (or whatever) and the next morning there is an empty lot.

Only faster method is to set charges.

Just my $5 bucks...thanks Oh Orange One.

It has likely been in planning for a long time in order to do it so quickly that it can't be stopped. I am extremely worried about security risks to the executive branch of the US government. Future presidents may not be able to use that building once they are done with it.

4. A future sane president will have it restored and the PEOPLE will vote for it.

Then that horrible Golf Club head (imho, he ie literally trolling America as he take a swing and slices us into the rough), will be brought down as quickly as it went up.

Please let it happen...

And the wood-butcher in me mourns the old-growth wood and other fittings that could/should have been salvaged before the demo.
But trump knows that Murikans have short attention spans.
By next week, people will have forgotten the whole thing.
