Can we stop him from building things? I thought that was a Congress power. Can we also put him in fucking jail? Fuck this guy who the fuck voted for him?

Deep into the future after the collapse of our civilization, if we have a future after that, an advanced society will be wondering about this mysteries of this arch.

But not in a sense of awe, like Stonehenge or the Aztec pyramids. They’ll be asking the question, “Was this civilization really that fucking stupid?”

"Why did civilization build something THIS tacky?"

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Lol. Iran liked this comment!

This is so that he can call it a national emergency and bypass all laws, requirements and such.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago

Seriously, seeing these pics of him playing with these models makes him look like a toddler even more than he usually does...

[-] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

It’s the Henge from Spinal Tap

[-] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Dark Helmet in that once spaceballs scene where he's playing with his ~~dolls~~ action figures

Oh, hahahaa. I would so love to see donnie writing " instead of ' on a diagram and someone makes his arch that big.

I want to see a dwarf dancing around his arch...where dewdrops cry and the cats meow...

The "top grade" military complex and arch will "house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage", he said.

A sniper that needs a 'large quantity' of ammunition isn't a very good sniper.

As the motto goes: twenty three hundred shots, one kill

[-] Swemg@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Why does he need that much snipers there? Wtf against who?

[-] Zedstrian@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's just an excuse to use a portion of military spending on his arch.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

Also helps him bypass a lot of approvals. Remember, he did this with the stupid ballroom too.

[-] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago

For the next J6 he'll need to rely on drones since he lost the fanatical support of a lot of his base by now.

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.today 1 points 10 hours ago

Idk about that. He really does perfectly represent conservatives. Some may be a little shy in public about it right now, but Trump is still their most accurate reflection. I truly believe conservatives will still support him in his attempt to overthrow democracy.

[-] savvie@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

whattabout the frikkin’ sharks with lasers on their heads, Tiny Dee???

[-] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 5 points 1 day ago

It's like he's designing the kids' playset version first

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Its like hes designing them so he can hold/ grab them like in the thumbnail.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that makes sense. Like, did anyone think this maniacal overlord would not do the most fascist thing possible?

Just ask WWHD?

he has to go this route because he knows hes in charge of the military, by law. the piece of shit knows he can steamroll anything he wants by claiming 'national defense'

[-] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

If it's ever built it will always be trump's goatse, hopefully the next president demolishes everything with his dumb ass name on it

[-] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 3 points 1 day ago

What the what, now? There just isn’t that much space there—unless he’s planning to shut the circle to traffic.

[-] Rubanski@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 19 hours ago

The pillars will be filled with howitzers

[-] einlander@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

How many folly's is he planning to build?

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It's too bad that category is only about buildings, since he wants our military to build boats around an aesthetic he likes from about a century ago, and name those after himself.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 2 points 1 day ago

Those golden eagles around the winged Lady Liberty on the roof can have laser eyes to shoot down any incoming missiles (or bags of drugs catapulted over the border by MS-13, for that matter).

The incoming missiles to justify this can be provided by the fact that there’s now a prominent structure packed with ammunition standing at the centre of the US capital, a target too good to pass up.
