True.. I mean, who can play on 17 golf courses...? [lol]

Only the "best president ever".

History will NOT be kind........

Marianne said...

Why should it?

CyberKitten said...

Indeed! I'm looking forward to the next President removing Trump's name from X number of buildings and demolishing any architectural monstrosities he manages to get built....

Marianne said...

That's going to be great!

The planned ballroom is definitely more aesthetically pleasing than that brutalistic horror obama erected, surely.

CyberKitten said...

I think that Louis XVI would *really* like the ballroom (if it ever gets built). Its *quite* the abomination. Do YOU think its $400 MILLION well spent?

What did Obama do?

CyberKitten said...

Presumably you mean the Barack Obama Presidential Center? It DOES look like something from 'Fallout' doesn't it? [lol]

Marianne said...

At least he didn't destroy decades of work by others. And I personally think it's quite interesting.

CyberKitten said...

Definitely striking! I'm a fan of Brutalist architecture as you probably know by now! [grin] I wonder if they'll rebuild the East Wing if the ballroom doesn't actually get built?

Marianne said...

Every kind of architecture has its beauties and its atrocities. And there are a lot of nice Brutalist buildings.
But it's not just about that. If every four year things get taken down that the predecessors has built or get abolished, not because it doesn't work but because it has been started by the guy before ...
