“Let ‘em eat marble…”

Okay. In the past two weeks Americans and the world have seen the Trump administration tear down the East Wing of the White House. We watched as the bulldozers went to work, destroying history, seemingly without a care in the world (or any kind of governmental permit or oversight.)

They tore down the East Wing because Donald Trump told them to. There’s now a gaping hole, resembling the aftermath of the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11, in our White House.

I don’t know if there was a Dolley Madison there to save certain treasures. Probably not because it seems as if the operation of destruction didn’t include much - if any - forethought.

What’s being built in the degraded space beggars description, so I won’t describe…

But yesterday we were told about the “new, upgraded bathroom en suite with the Lincoln bedroom. It was a nice looking room before with older fixtures like a toilet and sink. Lots of colored tile on the wall and floor.

But Donald Trump didn’t like it. “Too old”, he said, a sentiment echoed by his blonde press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, the girl with the “luscious lips”.

The floor is now wall to wall white marble, as are the walls themselves. Quite honestly, it looks an en-suite bathroom at the Ritz Carlton. While we know that an 1860’s bathroom would not be appropriate to put in, the one they did originally was perfectly acceptable.

But I want to know how many other rooms in OUR White House were similarly “done over” without supervision by White House historians and preservation committees?

And, of course, how much was constructed using SNAP money? How many babes went hungry so Donald Trump could have his wonderfully tacky residence?

How long will this sacrilege continue?
