If I remember a report correctly, the arsehole had several magnolia trees that had been planted in memorial to previous Presidents and Jackie Kennedy felled to make way for his no doubt gold and shiny monstrosity.
Ignorant man.

Well, dictators love vanity projects. Usually tacky and overblown. I imagine the King will be horrified, he has quite well known views on people savaging historical buildings. Tbh I imagine the King will spend most of his visit feeling either horrified or extremely irritated.

Will he take any notice at all of this ruling?

Nice one!

Naturally it was to be

The finest Building of its kind anywhere in the World".

Just think of the amount of money for this vanity project, how it could have been spent on improving school or medical facilities.

Its being privately funded, or so is the claim, but it seems to be the donors are just glorifying themselves, (you can be sure there will be a plaque, and possibly rooms named after the millionaire donors)
and if they have that money to spare....

It will indeed be interesting to see what happens, at an appeal - wondering if the Supreme Court gets involved, where they would stand.... and indeed, how Congress would vote.
