The warning came as Trump leaves a trail of destruction in Washington, demolishing the White House East Wing to make way for a $600m ballroom and ordering a renovation of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool that resulted in algae blooms and a peeling liner.
The court filing represented the first time that Trump’s allies have raised the prospect of knocking down the Kennedy Center – a 100ft-high complex with a concert hall, opera house and theatre – as the dire alternative to closing it for two years of improvements. Such an aggressive move would be sure to face legal challenges, protests and an outcry from historic preservation groups.
The threat emerged on Monday as the administration urged a federal judge to reject a fresh legal challenge to Trump’s efforts to put his name on the Kennedy Center. The dispute has become part of a months-long battle over the president’s attempt to alter the memorial created by Congress in honour of John F Kennedy, the 35th US president who was assassinated in 1963.

I think we need to start paying for google SEO optimization to get PSA’s to secret service agents… (honestly, I don’t know how they could stand there strapped with iron, and not have ‘I could do so much good’ floating through their head.)
I suspect most of Trump’s secret service detail consists of absolute lunatic sycophants, hell all things considered Vance may have the most normal detail out of the non-former presidential details IE Obama, Clinton, Biden, Dubya.
Now I’m wondering if Congress could just strip the security budget for the president, like it’d be piss easy to justify with the current dipshits in charge.
you know how most Roman emperors got removed? They didn’t pay their bodyguards.
Find a way to make them uncomfortable and things might start to change.
