The East Wing of the White House, first constructed in 1902. 123 years of American history, bulldozed by a madman. [View all]

It's more of Trump's "fuck you for electing Biden in 2020" revenge tour.

He's got his Crypto scam, we still pay for his playtime, he has a spiffy new Qatari jet that we will pay to refurbish, he flattened Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden, completed in 1962, is now the Mar-a-Lago patio, 63 years later.

I don't understand how he has the legal right to systematically and methodically destroy the White House.

I don't understand how this is being accepted, and not viewed as an act of domestic terrorism.
