No more golf? No speeches? No rallies? No parties at Mierda-Lardo? No flights on that fancy new AF1? Can't even work in the gilt-encrusted Oval Office with its bulletproof windows? What will he do while it's being built? He shouldn't even be standing outside at the construction site; it's not safe!

I cannot believe that any real or ethical attorney would sign these pleadings. The lawyers who signed this pleading will be disbarred

Random capitalization

Claims that Trump is providing America an "invaulable gift"

Claims the project is "underbudget" despite Senate request for $1 billion in taxpayer money

So what they really are saying is if the others could do without it, no other president has been hated so much, that they needed this protection.
