"Woke," probably

It’s to satisfy his ego before he dies. He so desperately wants to be remembered like Lincoln or Washington when he’s just a feeble little coward. The thing is also ugly as fuck with that tawdry gold leaf bullshit he slaps on everything.

If it gets built he’s gonna give another no bid contract to one of this buddies so they can grift an extra 30% off it in taxpayer money. Then they’re gonna be using taxpayer money to clean all the piss and graffiti off it every week if someone doesn’t outright try to blow it up.

If that fucking atrocity gets built I hope he lives to see it torn down. Better yet, put him inside it when they demo it.

exactly. (in my comment I said this was nothing more than a monument to trump's ego. And some other things about air and road traffic.)

When he leaves office in 20 years.
