At least it’s not a statue of himself. Thank god.

They are literally just doing a dementia ward and having him do meaningless projects while he's occasionally rolled out to make sure the world knows he's not dead.
But also, fuck Christopher Columbus. Genocidal colonial monster.

President Trump’s plan to install a Christopher Columbus statue at the White House shows why government shouldn’t be in the monument business. As Cato’s Jeffrey Miron notes, “This action addresses no market failure while using taxpayer funds to take a position on a contentious historical figure.”

Notice all the outrageous building projects in last four days: triumphal arch (250 ft high) across river from Lincoln Memorial (100 ft); closing Kennedy Center for 2 years for "renovation" or maybe demolition; Christopher Columbus statue.
Somebody urgently needs to distract from something …

Trump honours Columbus with statue outside White House, inspired by shared love of getting lost and blaming everyone else.

Makes sense: Columbus is the figurehead for white, Christo-fascist oppression and subjugation. He is the forefather of colonialism and racial profiling. He is the embodiment of everything MAGA yearns for.

People with an eye on January 2029 are already taking notes.
Let this be a lesson for the future; when we destroy the monuments of the Trump era, they must be absolutely obliterated. Nothing goes to museums, nor private collections. No salvageable pieces.
