The guy who campaigned on grocery prices is gold-plating horse statues on our dime. It’s going to be hard to tell the difference between Washington, DC and the Las Vegas Strip in a minute.

How embarrassing! This is not France, Russia or any country with this BS. This guy is making changes that the taxpayers never asked for and cannot afford. He got more DIY projects than any one ever. Embarrassing

The average cost of a two-bedroom apartment in the US is $2,000 a month. Obviously some markets are significantly higher, some lower, but on average we could have housed 2,500 people for a year for the price of those fucking statues.

This has got to STOP!!! This ostentatious display. This tasteless cheapening by the Mad Midas that reduces everything to gilded garbage. This relentless wasting of OUR money. THIS. MUST. STOP.

The only way to stop it now is to vote for all democrats in the ballot this November. Republicans will never do or even say anything to contradict their dear leader. They’ll gladly let him destroy our country in order to keep their plushy jobs.

I don’t live in New York but if I did, I would push for them to be primaried and definitely vote for a better candidate. If they ended up in the ballot in an election I would vote for them and any other democrat in the ballot. An imperfect democrat is always better than the best republican.

Easier said than done. That’ll be the last recourse when everything has gone to hell. We’re on our way to that, but first we need to try the election options this November and in 2028

No money for healthcare, no money for childcare, no money for food assistance, no money for social Security and Medicare. But you’re telling me we have money to do this shit?! Who voted for this? Surely not me!

Everyone who voted for any republican owns this. We have a chance to rectify in 3 months. We must vote for all democrats in the ballot to make sure they have a supermajority in congress.

Need to remember that the word "affordability" is a made up liberal word that Trump never heard about until recently. He is remaking DC into a homage to himself, narcissists need to be the center of attention as no one else is as important.

The Stable genius at work for the People. Taking the "emonuments" clause seriously! What a hero 👏 He deserves the Clap!

“Saddam Hussein's fixation on opulent displays included vast architectural vanity projects, gold-plated palace fixtures.. private quarters featured lavish gold-accented decor.” A hallmark of Tyrants.

I think we should do a "Blue Beatle" $5 a swing with the sledgehammer/ 2 hits for $8.00. Put the proceeds towards the national debt. We could rage and pay down that debt Quickly! Mental health greatly improved

If there is no limit to his spending to put everything in gold, then there should be no limit for the next person to take it all off. I still don’t understand how he can spend so much money with no limit for the stupidest things

No one in his sphere dares to contradict him because they know it’ll cost them their place in the sphere. They are as corrupt as he is, and that’s why they were chosen and allowed to be where they are.

He has already moved on to another BIG project. The “renovation of Dulles Airport” estimated to cost $22 Billion. We all know from his ballroom and reflecting pool, it is going to be many times the estimated cost. He will want to change the name to Trump Airport. We r robbed blind everyday! FUCK!

Oh there is so much more from the Dulles “renovation” it all about the Trump brand, merch etc.. the sons are involved, it is dastardly and being fought but you know how it goes…

Trump treating the US Treasury like it's his own money to do with as he likes, as Congress fails to do anything to control the purse, completely abdicating their responsiblities. Meanwhile, ordinary citizens are suffering on every level. What a fucking country.

Put the tail on hinges and when you lift it, …you will notice the resemblance to a frequent speaker’s mouth. Funny part what comes out matches both figures. Uncanny!

There’s a reason the statues weren’t coated in gold by design. Gold is a soft metal that would have to be “re-coated” often to keep up the lusterous effect. (But since 🍊guy isn’t paying for it, that isn’t much of a concern!!)

It comes from our taxes, of course. The money we paid for government provided services and benefits we are no longer getting because, you know, golden statues and unnecessary wars.

It's all dirt cheap spray paint at the price of real gold. Trump, the money launderer, is doing what he's always done.

WHAT THE HELL‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 You can count on Trump to cheapen EVERYTHING. All the gold is TACKY! Has anyone seen what he is doing to the columns in front of the White House?? Did he have them changed to the tacky gold??

I hate that we are stuck with his tacky fascination of gold plating everything. Mostly though I guess I just hate that he exists.

Can't wait to see how the sun reflection hits drivers. All these vanity money laundering opportunities the republicans are fast tracking need to be investigated. Every company, contractor, sub-contractor involved with these projects need to be publicly named

People don’t understand how very little gold it takes to do this You can buy gold flake at any Hobby lobby or Michael’s or any hobby store that maybe isn’t run by a bunch of religious nut jobs Seriously, boycott, Hobby lobby

as someone who occasionally does this, it's so thin there is no value. The problem is it will last 15 years at most and have to be redone at huge expense. The underling bronze looked fine and ages well.

And we have to claw our money back. It’s all been illegally spent. POTUS doesn’t own the purse strings or any of these buildings he’s wrecking.

Nobody. Republicans control congress who’s in charge of controlling the purse strings. Republicans have shown they have no interest in doing their job. Kick them out of congress this November!

We need to be vigilant and ready for anything they try to do. We already know they’re trying to suppress our votes. They’ll try any way they can, but we won’t let them. Our future and that of our children’s depend on us.

Trump, delusionally thinking he’s a creative genius, ruined the integrity of this sculpture. Because of the tacky gold gilding, you can’t see or appreciate the contours of the figures as the sculptor intended. Trump is a vandal and this is vandalism. He should be arrested.

I hope the cleanup after he’s gone is charged back to him. It’s our money he used for the destruction of our monuments and our city, without our consent. He needs to pay for its restoration.

Dishonest Don is recklessly responsible for the death of thousands due to his arrogant and immoral incompetence. The charmed life of a fiendish child predator of the worst kind. Still having the support of a morally broken party. THAT’S what people will remember about Trump and the defunct GOP.
