      >It seems that bulldozing the White House wasn’t enough for Donald Trump.

      >The builder-in-chief declared his intention Wednesday to “fix” the 100-year-old Reflecting Pool on the National Mall in Washington. Fix what, exactly? Your guess is as good as ours.

      >“Study it hard because you won’t be seeing this Biden filth and incompetence much longer!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

      >This is just the latest ridiculous renovation project that has pulled Trump attention away from, well, actually governing.

      >Trump is reportedly battling with his hand-picked architect, who has warned the new $300 million ballroom will dwarf the White House. In October, the president had completely razed the White House’s East Wing after promising just months earlier that his ballroom would not touch the existing structure. Trump plowed forward without prerequisite congressional approval, having conveniently begun demolition during the government shutdown.

      These are the same people who throw a fit when statues of traitors/confederates are taken down and relocated…

      From the article:

      >“Study it hard because you won’t be seeing this Biden filth and incompetence much longer!” Trump [wrote in a post](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115617052659110736) on Truth Social.

      [Filthy](https://atlantablackstar.com/2025/11/25/marc-rubio-shocked-by-smell-during-trump-meeting/) and incompetent Trump proves again that is just fucking stupid and will say any obvious bs to destroy our nation’s historical sites.

      „Study it hard because you won’t be seeing this Biden filth and incompetence much longer!“

      Hey Trumpies, how many of you think the reflecting pool is Biden’s work? All of you?

      I am so goddamn sick of this motherfucking idiot child.

      The next Democratic administration should just undo all this dumb shit stuff.

    6. Trump probably is going to build a huge gaudy Nazi style tribute to himself with giant statues of himself. It’s really something that the GOP is perfectly happy with letting him turn DC into a Russian style bordello

    7. We really took Washington, DC for granted. Never thought about it much, but such a flagrant disregard for the nation’s history is blood-boiling. „Don’t take down Confederate statues, but by all means raze a third of the White House and destroy the National Mall!“ What’s next?

    8. We here at the White House, would like to assure the public that it is going to be very tasteful.

      We will be keeping the existing water feature, but covering the whole area in gold. We will also be encircling the rim with peeing cherub fountains. While the floor of the pool will be replaced with a giant mosaic, depicting Trump bursting into the Miss Teen USA beauty pageant changing rooms, to see if he can catch a peak at any underage children without their clothes on.

    9. Surprised any president can decide to demolish things and it just goes through

    10. Doesn’t he want to build his Arc de Trump at the other end of the Lincoln Memorial ?

    11. No freaking NO. Someone stop this wannabe Mussolini. His destructive tendencies are robbing us of our national heritage.

      It’s like these people sit there all day thinking about what they could possibly do to top the last shitty thing they did. 

    13. TintedApostle on

      He sees the pool as getting in the way of a monument for himself. There is no land available other than that space. You have the Lincoln Memorial on one end. The Washington Memorial in the middle and the Smithsonians all the rest of way. He wants to build his own memorial and the pool has to go.

      and then there is this

      https://washingtonian.com/2025/11/24/photos-thousands-rally-to-demand-trumps-impeachment/

      On Saturday, a crowd estimated in the thousands gathered at the Lincoln Memorial to call for President Donald Trump’s impeachment.

      The most unpopular president in US History is defacing OUR property instead of solving affordability

    15. KaptainKardboard on

      Nobody in Trump’s circles has the balls to admit he’s clearly unfit for the job.

    16. Rhymelikedocsuess on

      If trump puts anything, I mean anything honoring himself – I don’t care how much it took to put it up, I want it torn down on day 1 of a democrat being in office

    17. mynamejulian on

      More than anything, he’s giving the media something stupid to discuss instead of reality. Destroying history is a bonus

    18. Oceanbreeze871 on

      He wants to destroy the reflecting pool because that’s in all the photos of Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech

    19. donnie_dark0 on

      This just reeks of Stephen Miller sitting in his coffin in the middle of the day thinking up new awful ways to attempt to goad the American people into revolting.

    20. I wonder when he’ll be carving his face into Mt. Rushmore?

      Kinda surprised it hasn’t happened yet.

    21. Considering the most iconic moment of history that took place at the reflection pool was a civil rights march and speech led by Martin Luther King Jr it’s not shocking that he wants to destroy it. These are the same people that think statues hold significance in how we remember stuff and fought to keep confederate statues up because of the history. The racism is clear as day.

    22. How does the government have all this extra spending money to do these projects no one asked for?

    23. God forbid he fucking DO HIS JOB!

      How are the plans on actually BUILDING anything where the East Wing used to be going?? It sure looks like he was just in a big hurry to tear it down before anyone could stop him and now doesn’t really have any plans on how to go forward.
