It's a matter of time before Trump II goes after the Washington Monument, given he has decimated every other entity formerly chaired by Carlyle Group co-founder David Rubenstein.
Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center has been well documented. Courts have prevented permanent renaming and ordered the Trump name removed from Kennedy Center facilities and materials.
The White House has accused The Smithsonian of having a political agenda. The institution argues otherwise:
"For more than 180 years, the Smithsonian has served the American public with nonpartisan and independent scholarship, and we remain committed to doing so.”Former President Joe Biden called the Washington Monument "the Rubenstein" after the Carlyle Group co-founder donated funds for its restoration.
Don't be surprised if one morning a wrecking ball shows up on the National Mall. Trump appears to hate anything Rubenstein.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren. Increasingly, more are one. The leader of the Red Team expects all PEUs and TechGods to bow at his feet. To not oblige incurs the wrath of Trump II.
Trump also treats his supporters poorly, because he can. He dicked TechGod Brad Gertsner this morning in his Trump accounts press session. Appear with Trump and prepare to be diminished, minimized, usurped and fleeced. It is Trump's essential being, a giant sucking hole.
