Donald Trump has fired all six members of an independent federal agency responsible for reviewing his controversial White House ballroom and planned “Arc de Trump” in Washington DC.

The Commission of Fine Arts was established in 1910, and is tasked with “giving expert advice to the President, the Congress and the federal and District of Columbia governments on matters of design and aesthetics”, according to its website.

Its purview includes reviewing designs proposed for memorials and new or renovated government buildings, and the commission is intended to be staffed by experts in art, architecture and urban design. There is no indication about whom Trump plans to appoint to the commission.

        Fuck that shit, we should tear down the ballroom, restore the East Wing and send the Trump criminal family the bill.

          Only correct answer. Auction off the chairs and tables and cutlery then burn the building down. Ask the Canadians for help. Nuremberg all the accomplices and demolish any remaining opposing monuments. Erase them from history. Learn your lesson from past mistakes or mercy. Do not give them an inch.

            I’d rather turn it into a hall of immigration assistance. Hire tons of people that work on getting people citizenship quickly and easily

              And make all the bathrooms gender-neutral. With some Toadstool-themed things in the urinals and toilets. In honor of our “favorite” president.
