Looks like someone added a tacky gold bauble to the top of the Arc de Triomphe.

This one is intended to be competed before next years 250th celebrations. Trump is going to go knock down part of DC and probably build a deathtrap.

Sure, but they were just copying Napoleon.

Who was copying Caesar.

The question at this point, since Donald is metaphorically wearing red boots, and loves to repost images of himself with a Diadem (crown).

He's your Julius, who will be your Augustus?

Republicans are too feckless to make him Julius. Plus, Julius didn't have bone spurs.

Hopefully it's torn down by then, along with this other vanity projects.

These vanity projects are a colossal waste of money. Tearing them down once they're up would also be a colossal waste of money. It sucks, but I don't see any Democrats supporting tearing them down after the fact.

lots of states spending millions getting rid of old pro confederate statues right now. demolition is dirt cheap really in comparison to building this bullshit.

Building monuments to yourself and renovating the palace while people go hungry. Cool. Ended great for Louis XVI.

I agree, it's a terrible insult to Julius Caesar. A man who slept on campaign on the bare ground, wrapped only in his cloak. His hardiness, an inspiration to his troops.

None of this in anyway reflects Cadet Bonespurs of course.

The thinking is more towards Julius as Dictator. His flirtations with the trappings of the deposed Kings, and the limits of his term as dictator.

Everything resonates, challenging his term limits, Xcrement posts where he has a crown, it is all the same.

You might not recognise it, but I do, and so do Steve Bannon and Steven Miller.

I recognise it because I love history, they emulate it because they love that history.

Once Europe and the Near East was a patchwork of city states, each with varying degrees of representation, and a constitutional crisis all their own.

Then Rome came, all fell under it's sway, until the great men owned so much, they bought the state itself.

You're at this point, and your Julius constantly seeks to see if you'll let him have his crown.

I suspect he'll fail, but an Augustus will crown himself without you realising it, just as Octavion did.

I'm not talking about the demo costs. To tear down a $300 million WH ballroom four years after it was built solely because Trump ordered it built would be irresponsible. Well, not solely because Trump built it; it's also tacky and impractical. But no Democrat is going to have it knocked down and replaced anytime soon. Renaming them or repurposing them is the best we're going to get.

This man won the popular vote.

I legit don't see a positive future. Americans saw this guy, lived through his first term and went "Yeah. I want this. I support this."

that was for national security (gagging)

these projects are just a way of "beautifying DC" while creating "legitimate" projects for wealthy people to buy political influence from the president. wouldn't do trump any good to pull government money for that.
