In what's left of Trump's mind, it's all his. Everything he sees, anything he wants and is attracted to and can't help grabbing for himself, all of it is his to dig up, bury, haul off, thieve, anything he wants. That's why there's a big hole in the ground next to the White House, a fetid pool on the Mall, and a shrouded Kennedy Center. Wtf does it take, folks? If Trump can't have it, he will destroy it so others can't have it, either. Experts in aberrant child behavior might be able to explain this. (As for the enablers, consult the shades of Albert Speer close to the top and, in middle management, Adolf Eichmann.)

"a shrouded Kennedy Center"

By direct observation, a dark and gutted Kennedy Center.

All of Trump's little construction projects reveal the state of his soul.

What an ugly thing.

That's because the national parks aren't really seen as national parks by these people. They're seen as future mining/timber/grazing/drilling sites.

Eventually Park Service employees will be treated as little more than security for corporations ruining the land to keep taxpayers off the land at their own expense.

I could only imagine the 24/7/365 fauxrage from the GOP if Obama had done this.

Obama would have Never even thought of it.

Trump is a sick individual.

Even his own followers don't realize what is going on.

Taking from the public Tit for his own pet projects is Trump's worldview.

He thinks it's all his private property.

I used to think Coriolanus was extreme,like his example in #1 for example.

No Longer.
