I feel it in my bones; he's going to do it. It's probably been his plan the entire time. He'll claim that he needs to demolish and rebuild the entire White House complex because the symmetry will be off with the enormity of the Trump Ballroom. Before anybody accuses me of fear mongering, Did you ever in your wildest dreams think he would demolish the East Wing? Remember the jokey memes from his first regime when people posted doctored photos of a gilded White House with flashing neon signs? Like Biff Tannen's casino in Back to the Future. They actually modelled Biff Tannen on Trump. clearly somebody is going through old memes on the internet about Trump and using it as a playbook. Yes, we are living that right now.
More predictions:
I think he's going to do off a nuke. To prove how powerful he is and how treaties mean nothing to him. I think he'll do it at the Nevada Test Site or in the open ocean, probably the later because it will be an even bigger FU to environmentalists. I think its something that's crazy enough that he'll do it just for the tee hees and to own the Libs.
I think he's also going to really ransack the National Park system, like drilling in Yellowstone or at the very least build Trump hotels in existing national parks.
Anybody else got any F-ed up predictions.
Donald Trump is Idi Amin. Donald Trumps is Satan
In 1972, Amin expelled 50,00080,000 South Asiansmany of whom were British passport holderswithin 90 days, devastating Ugandas economy and forcibly displacing a vital commercial class.
Amins foreign policy was erratic, including severing ties with Israel, allying with Libyas Muammar Gaddafi, and ultimately invading Tanzania in 1978, which led to his downfall in 1979.
Estimates of deaths under Amins regime range from 100,000 to 500,000, caused by widespread extrajudicial killings, political repression, and military violence.
Several myths persist, such as claims he renamed Kampala to Jerusalem or discovered cures for AIDS or cancerthese are not supported by credible historical evidence.

(10,963 posts)There are ZERO redeeming things about him and he will remain an afront to human dignity until the second he is finally dead and rotting more so than his current zombie-existence. FDJT.
Irish_Dem
(79,722 posts)He can do it all in one fell swoop or a bit by bit, but he hates the White House. He made that clear the first time he was there. He said it was a dump.
Wounded Bear
(63,822 posts)So I guess I wouldn't be surprised. He has absolutely no taste and no respect for traditions or history.
I would hate it if he indeed destroyed the White House and I shudder to think what kind of monstrosity he would replace it with.
