"It’s basically Trump in architectural form: the deal-doing warrior and man with the Midas touch, presided over by his gleaming, gloating, engorged effigy." —The Guardian
Not a bad description of the edifice Trump will have built. However gaudy, and Trumpian the skyscraper may be, it’s not as hideous as the brutalist, Mecca like monstrosity Obama is building in Chicago.
BTW... Mr Kunstler et al... I'm not much into "modern architecture... But I keep seeing photos of one or maybe more big buildings in the ME which have giant horns like Barad-Dur... Is Sauron now the Ayatollah?
04/05/26: Given its nationwide competition, it just might look better than it is currently envisioned. What doesn't make sense is locating millions and millions of people on land that is just barely above sea level, vulnerable to massive hurricanes that can destroy just about anything that they wish to obliterate. But there's no use in attempting to persuade them to do otherwise.
It somewhat resembles a giant syringe which is quite appropriate because he is the self-described father of the covid vaccine. It was ultimately because of him that 81% of Americans were injected, for which oncologists, cardiologists and the rest of the world are truly grateful.
Have to disagree-he didn’t issue one mandate, that was Biden. A lot of people had to be vaccinated under Biden to keep working or to visit their families in the hospital, kids forced to take it to attend school. Trump wanted it to be an alternative alongside hydroxychloroquine, which was quickly vilified the moment he uttered the word, and other treatments like ivermectin, also blacklisted under Biden.
Mr. AwakeNotWoke---- before you blame the clusterfunk called Covid Vax onTrump, maybe you should think that Trump's mistake in all this is not exposing America to the clot shot but believing all of the Medical people associated with the U.S. Gov't actually had the best interests of the American people foremost in their mind and that these people, most of which he did not agree with politically, could/would put the interests of America ahead of any desire to do him harm or the American population harm. The CDC, AMA, WHO, and every other part of our medical establishment pushed and pushed to get the vax in every American even tho they knew that it was not ready for prime time. Trump was snookered big time because of this assumption. Looking back upon it now, I would bet a very decent amount of money that he would not have listened to them but would have listened to many others not associated directly with the gov't medical industrial complex. And......as Rick explains above he did expose the dirty truth about vax schedules to the average Joe and the fact that Big Pharma only has their profit interests in mind and Big P does not give a rip about the health of Americans.
Mr. AwakeNotWoke---- If Trump were to mandate that the clot shot is cancelled, I am sure the MSM and the insane Dem/Marxists would use it to try to impeach him come 2029. At least now people have a choice and if they are stupid enough to want one of the clot shots, they can have one but there is no longer any of the MSM types telling everyone that the shot will keep you from getting covid, and keep you from transmitting covid and if.......by chance you get it, it will not be as bad------which we now know that they know we know were all lies when they told us the first time AND........ thank God we no longer have the half-wits telling us that everyone will die if we do not submit to wearing a mask.
So......feel free to get a clot shot and.....if you have children (whom absolutely do not need it) feel free to vax your children but......that should be considered child endangerment or child abuse.
Gullibility is a flaw of all humans. Except you, of course. Biden, or whoever was running things, wouldn’t have had to look far to know what mandates, put on an entire population of sentient beings, including a fetus, would do. It was the plan. Un employ them, impoverish them, destroy childhood, sicken them and kill them. But make many many incredibly rich.
Anti-vax = pro-Plague. He's also for War (see Iran) and Oppression (see Hispanics, women, gender minorities, and African-Americans) and he's working on Famine (see SNAP cutbacks). He's on the side of all four Horsemen!
"The final joke is that it’s being financed with the awards from the various lawsuits Mr. T has won against the old legacy media giants who defamed him over years."
Here in Florida we have a state victim's compensation fund. It helps people who are victims of crime - pays for things like medical bills, lodging, etc.. The beauty of it is, it is 100% funded by fines on criminals.
The wonder of the World Lighthouse in Alexandria was also very tall..nobody lived in it, it was a beacon..probably didn't meed to be that tall for a lighthouse, but..it was y'all to be remarkable and to stand out. For everyone to see or comment on, over millennia.
The actual Truths, the Library of documents, that we associate even today with that Lighthouse of Alexandria, perished in a fire. They say. Imo DJT has a Real library of truths associated with this Tower, In a place that won t catch fire.
For a few paragraphs I was afraid you succumbed the Guardian TDS, but your take is fair and balanced. Always have had mixed emotions re Trump, but if you compare: Trump v Biden, Trump v Hillary, Trump v Obama / Bush; Trump beats them all hands down, dispute his egotistical (sometimes goofy) ways. When historians have had enough time to gain perspective, I think the evenhanded ones will say that, unlike most of his predecessors, Trump actually did put America ahead of his political party and his financial supporters, and his cronies, or some stupid ideology. The library’s 46th floor should have jail cells for everyone involved in the coup against our 45 resident, as well as everyone involved in the lawfare against Trump and his supporters during Biden’s auto-pen presidency. We could have done a lot worse than Trump, and we will if we don’t repair our election process.
Yep. Loved this post James, and yours too, Gym+Fritz. Funny the way it is when I think about it is that I do not have TDS, but never took the shot and am experiencing the long Covid syndrome. Still can't figure that out.
Perhaps the giant middle finger building Trump is planning to build, paid for by all of the fines and penalties he is legally entitled to, will be an Alcatraz prison of sorts. And will have open windows on all of the prison cells for the likes of the worst of the worst.
Fauci will get the top floor,the entire Pelosi family can have the second floor, and the what's left of the Cheney family will get the 3rd, the Bridem's, the Boasburg family, the Comey's on the next. And so forth and so on. No lawyers allowed for anyone. No contact allowed with the outside world. Jumping is the only way out.
Obama's trash can library will be where all of what's left of the jumper's will be preserved for perpetuity.
That it is (too bad that his audience members --- "cool New Yorkers" --- were robo-programmed --- afraid to laugh without permission) That poor sax player! How long did it take to get that gold paint off?!
A ‘Man for the times”; 30/50 years or so back in those olden days, could one have imagined an individual that could overturn the tables at The Political Temple, even a Reagan, gifted as he was, became confounded. Trump is a laugh at every turn; however, one laughs at their own expense, he appears to operate at a higher/lower level than could have been imagined - it works! I see a counterintuitive streak at work, we are all broke, so spend whatever you have to, too - "it don’t matter a hill of beans”. None of us gets out of this mess alive, accept it and get on with your life.
What is with putting Air Force One in a Presidential Library? Reagan did it. Then Bush 41 did it in his library in College Station- but that was not enough: he had to hang his WWII torpedo bomber from the ceiling, too, like some giant model airplane. But if that were not kid-like enough, on the other side of the room is his Yale Bulldogs baseball locker room, complete with a picture of Babe Ruth handing the young player an award.. Library?! Not a book in sight. I did manage to salvage one thing from the trek out there- I told friends that over the entry, carved in stone, it says, READ MY LIPS.(the best part was a few believed it.)

I wonder what ‘review’ the Guardian gave Obama’s ‘library’.
Damn... That is exactly what I was going to say.
BTW... Mr Kunstler et al... I'm not much into "modern architecture... But I keep seeing photos of one or maybe more big buildings in the ME which have giant horns like Barad-Dur... Is Sauron now the Ayatollah?
Why, yes, Sauron is the Grand Muffti of the islob world. Does he have plans for you: very short plans.
The Obama monstrosity looks like the three monoliths in Marvel's Agents of Shield. And you know how evil those were...
I like Obama and I agree with you.
I kind of like it. Probably has to have a hotel in it to make any sense financially.
Put it in Nevada- he could add a brothel.

He wasn't in power long enough to issue a mandate.
You’re completely wrong.
Of course he is.
Paid agitprop and about as bright as a 1-watt incandescent bulb.
24 years just waitn' for a chance / to tell her how I feel and try to get into her ... / now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice ...
Alice! Alice! Who the f*ck is Alice?
This song 's for you:
https://youtu.be/bUy83PKjkOI?si=HZEeqO3XfGcJi-IU
Well and he exposed that all vaccines are dangerous? Maybe you should think about that! Plus he's not responsible for peoples stupid choices....
Mr. AwakeNotWoke---- before you blame the clusterfunk called Covid Vax onTrump, maybe you should think that Trump's mistake in all this is not exposing America to the clot shot but believing all of the Medical people associated with the U.S. Gov't actually had the best interests of the American people foremost in their mind and that these people, most of which he did not agree with politically, could/would put the interests of America ahead of any desire to do him harm or the American population harm.

And......as Rick explains above he did expose the dirty truth about vax schedules to the average Joe and the fact that Big Pharma only has their profit interests in mind and Big P does not give a rip about the health of Americans.
And has he stopped rolling out the shots?
Mr. AwakeNotWoke---- If Trump were to mandate that the clot shot is cancelled, I am sure the MSM and the insane Dem/Marxists would use it to try to impeach him come 2029. At least now people have a choice and if they are stupid enough to want one of the clot shots, they can have one but there is no longer any of the MSM types telling everyone that the shot will keep you from getting covid, and keep you from transmitting covid and if.......by chance you get it, it will not be as bad------which we now know that they know we know were all lies when they told us the first time AND........ thank God we no longer have the half-wits telling us that everyone will die if we do not submit to wearing a mask.
So......feel free to get a clot shot and.....if you have children (whom absolutely do not need it) feel free to vax your children but......that should be considered child endangerment or child abuse.
Only 18% of eligible folks ( there are a few restrictions now) took the last Covid booster. Less than the last one. I call that some progress.
Neither is a fentanyl dealer.
Yep. Dopers are stupid. So, what's your point?
Why did POTUS not do his own research before rolling out the shots? He was conned? Surely you don't think he's gullible?
Gullibility is a flaw of all humans. Except you, of course. Biden, or whoever was running things, wouldn’t have had to look far to know what mandates, put on an entire population of sentient beings, including a fetus, would do. It was the plan.

🙌
Trump never required anyone to take the jab.
That doesn't push the anti-trump, anti-american agenda!
Yeah, I always seem to be out of step with them.
Good ‘point’
Anti-vax = pro-Plague. He's also for War (see Iran) and Oppression (see Hispanics, women, gender minorities, and African-Americans) and he's working on Famine (see SNAP cutbacks). He's on the side of all four Horsemen!
America is the only nation in the history of the world where the number one cause of death among the poor is obesity.
Which is one of the things Trump would like to change.
I'd like to see fewer people die of obesity, too.
And of measles instead?
How can you like it?

Don't forget the possibility that the Donald is trolling you and everyone else with this "proposed structure."
At any rate, it's light years ahead of the soetoro obscenity. I presume you mocked that one somewhere along the line...
The Hussein obscenity-put stripes on it and it looks tight at home on Epstein island.
BINGO!!!
President Trump, trolling his enemies even further into insanity every day.
I love hearing their screeches.

Better we see the whole person than the wolffish grins, and fine talk of those who slide the knife in us behind their backs.
I think the 47 story middle finger is perhaps, the greatest we’ve ever seen.
Those with TDS will forget about this day one, once we propose that his likeness be installed on Mt. Rushmore !! Hey- Not a bad idea !!
Let’s go !
Can't say I find the proposed library appealing to my sensibilities, but if it gives those douchnozzles at The Grauniad the vapors, I'm all in.
Precisely. Where do we contribute?
Anyone else want to bet that he will eventually be entombed in gold in the lobby, like King Tut?
That’s a possibility.
04/05/26: Steve Martin, for a cool mil, will volunteer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYbavuReVF4
I saw this live at the Duluth Arena in 1971. Still fall-down funny.
We sat on the floor around Martin for his show at the University of Montana in the late 1970s. I paid $5. It was his arrow-in-the-head phase.
That it is (too bad that his audience members --- "cool New Yorkers" --- were robo-programmed --- afraid to laugh without permission) That poor sax player! How long did it take to get that gold paint off?!
And the bet part is the haters in the legacy media are paying for it! Brilliant Mr. Trump.
Nice to hear from JHK on a Sunday, especially a gift on this Easter Sunday.
It's one of a kind...just like him. I was taken back a bit at the gold statue, but .... He's my weapon of mass destruction so I say, "GO!"

It's going to be a crackpot magnet. They should put a diving board on the 45th floor to accommodate them.
LMAO.
