Just waltzed in with a wrecking ball.
Dear Editor:
When we saw Trump take a wrecking ball to the White House, it was a vivid, in your face, symbol of his destruction of our 250-year old government and our country.
Who gave him the right to pave over the rose garden, tear down the East Wing, turn the oval office into a room dripping with cheesy gold?
He is only being lent that “public housing” for the term of the presidency — and that is a maximum of eight years. Talk about destroying public property! Where have you lived at no cost for four years and been allowed to tear down and ruin half of it? I sure hope that all that “stick on” gold in the oval can be removed.
Imagine going to the director of the Eisenhower Library and saying you want Eisenhower’s sword so you can gift it to King Charles. Talk about reverse symbolism!
That house is OURS. We, the people, allow all those who become president to live there with their families while they serve our nation. The White House is not some gaudy remodel show. It is our national symbol with a history that we treasure. We think of all the presidents who have come before when we go there.
An eviction notice is a message he cannot ignore. It’s time to evict this unworthy, ungrateful, property abusive tenant. And he can take his expanded ICE, National Guard threats, insurrection threats and tariffs with him. We love our neighbors!
