Wonder what the city and state of New York would say to that.
They'll file a lawsuit after it's demolished and find out in 4-6 years the statue shouldn't have been demolished.
The admin will say it was a matter of national interest to be demolished, supreme court will give them a double thumbs up, and well - what could have been done.
Im surprised we didn't just wake up to the news it was scrapped for the copper overnight and the money is going to a hotel he plans to build in its place.
And kid Rock is in charge of the scrap copper removal.
It’s obvious the money would go to cover a gold plated statue of himself giving a double thumbs up.
The plaque will be replaced with:
"Give me your whites, your rich, your business class looking to exploit the poor"
This of course assumes there’d be anything so poetic inscribed. More likely it would read:
“Poor? Desperate? Foreign? Turn back now or be shot on sight”
You forgot that Trump will pre-emptively pardon himself and everyone involved, and so nobody will ever be held accountable or face any consequences.
States Rights only exist when it's a Dem president silly.
Complain, then take it hard.
Sternly worded letter and some social media posts to fundraise for the next campaign cycle.
