BREAKING:
King Trump now wants the American people to fund his $15 million monument to HIMSELF that will desecrate the hallowed Arlington National Cemetery!
For the first time, the Trump administration admits it will seek funding from the from the National Endowment for the Humanities to build his own personal Arc de Trump in Washington D.C., asking for $2 million straight up plus $13 million in matching grants.
During Monday’s Easter Egg roll, with the country on the brink over the illegal Iran war, Trump was carrying around printed renderings of “his” imperial tower.
And as we reported, a day earlier instead of attending Easter services, he took a drive and slowed his motorcade to admire the spot near Arlington National Cemetery where the monolith will screw up traffic and block the flight path to Reagan airport.
Vietnam veterans are already suing to stop this atrocious and historically offending ego trip, rightly saying it desecrates hallowed ground meant to honor their sacrifices.
This is on top of Trump paving over the Rose Garden, and bulldozing the historic East Wing (and Melania’s office!) to make room for his also atrocious and historically offending ballroom. But one abhorrence at a time.
At the end of the day, we know that this is the part of Trump’s “let’s play president” game he likes most. That war thing stressed him out, and people said mean things about him, so let’s not do that one anymore. I know, let's build stuff so I will be remembered eternally!
So, amid the deadly fallout from his illegal war in Iran and skyrocketing costs at the pump, Trump is quietly trying to funnel $15 million from the National Endowment for the Humanities into his vanity project.
Meanwhile, the rest of us are still struggling to sort out how much real damage this Iran war has done -- to the region, to the global economy, and to the perception of the United States as the new bully on the block.
Taxpayer money should honor our history and our fallen heroes not fund Donald Trump’s narcissistic building spree. The National Endowment for the Humanities is supposed to provide grants to museums, libraries, archives, colleges, universities, public TV and radio, not this “I’m an Emperor” wank of Trump’s.
