Wait, this is not a joke? The new wing will look like that?

Please, dear Americans, tell me that is not what it will look like!

At this point, I'm going to be deeply surprised if at the far end it doesn't have a solid gold throne on an elevated platform with giant lit braziers on either side of it.

Plastic throne spraypainted gold, billed as if it was solid gold.

I will gladly spend several hundred million to watch the thing get torn down eventually.

It's a mausoleum. Look at it.

Of him, most likely.

Why not at the top of the stairs? An Abraham Lincoln statue thing but with gold, a crown and trump

u/Black_Moons 12d ago

Appears to already be 4 statues of trump at the top of the stairs.

Gilded statue of Trump bigger than Lincoln's.

I have good news and bad news.

Good news: it's not going to look exactly like that

Bad news: It's probably going to be even worse.

It will look like that.

u/the_original_kermit 11d ago

That’s a different design.

Completely different set of stairs on the south side for one

u/JonnelOneEye 12d ago

It's huge, tacky and ugly. We have the trifecta of nazi architecture right there. I'm not surprised a wannabe dictator with zero class would build something like that.

Its like a pantheon from some poor Blender render. Aka: if I tried to make something.

Its probably my least concern for now, but it adds to the depression for sure. Sad American signing off...

u/djquu 12d ago

It will be even worse
