at taxpayers expense. The whole clean up and repairs are on taxpayers' dime. The cost for the July 4th 250 celebration will be over the top too.

with the east wing construction in the background - it looked like Europe after war. I wonder if anyone will offer us a Marshall Plan?

Disassemble it, go to Home Depot and get some cheap gold spray paint, paint it, transport the parts to Florida, re-erect it on the grounds of Mar-a-Lago, and call it 'L'Arc du Trump - Les Cages aux merdes' That way, King Dumbass Donald would have his arch and be able to look at it any time he pleases.
