       I think about this quotation about #Trump's destruction of the East Wing vis a vis Rob Reiner's life, which was all about creating value. The President loathes people who create value."The whole thing is a too-perfect symbol of Trump’s second administration: They are very good at breaking things, but they don’t know how to create anything of value." @AmandaMarcotte https://www.salon.com/2025/12/19/the-white-house-ballroom-will-never-be-built/#USPol #RobReiner

       @CindyWeinstein @AmandaMarcotte It has just struck me.. Donald Trump has the same problem middle eastern petro states have. They create fantasy projects that can never come to fruition.A ballroom is technologically feasible, which is the only thing going for it if we want to think of it that wayBut consider all the fantasy projects Dubai or KSA (NEOM)

       @GhostOnTheHalfShell @CindyWeinstein @AmandaMarcotte I still think the surprise destruction of the East Wing was that Melania did something to piss him off and he wanted to hurt her. One of the few things Melania truly enjoyed was 'her' private offices located in the East Wing, where the First Lady's space has always been. Boom, gone. See what you made me do, Melania? I warned you.

       @ralfmaximus @CindyWeinstein @AmandaMarcotte We can all believe it because he’s that petty.And he gives permission to his followers to be their worst selves. This is the bedrock of his popularity.
