'The House That Never Belonged to Him' [View all]

"Because Donald Trump does not fix things. He has never fixed a goddamn thing in his life. He does not know how, and he does not want to. Everything he touches dies."

"He destroys because destruction is the only way he knows how to feel powerful. He resents what he cannot create. He resents beauty because it reminds him of everything he will never be. And so, he does what he always does."

"He ruins it."

"He has done it to women. To truth. To decency. To democracy. And now he has done it to the White House. He is the anti-builder, the un-maker, the man who mistakes cruelty for strength and chaos for control. He calls himself a restorer, but he is a vandal, a man so terrified of being forgotten that he will burn everything sacred just to leave his mark in the ashes."
