Just when you thought Trump had hit peak ‘tinpot dictator’, he’s adding snipers and drone storage to his colossal arch – 24 devastating shots on target

Just like with the ballroom, another scam by Trump to turn this into a “military complex” to prevent the courts from intervening by using “national security” as his excuse for vanity projects. pic.twitter.com/6ixpQjzLip

Trump believes the national security angle helps with getting the White House ballroom built so he is now using it – absurdly – for the Arch too pic.twitter.com/FR2mnk7cP0

Why do we need to build a massive triumphal arch for sniper ammo and drones? We don’t have any place else that those can be stored?

Huh well this is totally insane, but very on-brand and consistent. https://t.co/0VaR1d7bkL

And now the reveal. The arch is going to be a SURVEILLANCE AND MILITARY WEAPONS PLATFORM.
There is only one purpose this can serve. To launch attacks against the people. You're not repelling a Chinese invasion with snipers from here.
This arch MUST BE STOPPED. pic.twitter.com/S6tOd2Ce00

I take it back. Building a military checkpoint over a major road entry point to the District to go with the fortified underground bunker under your palace is a pretty sound strategy.

Who exactly are these snipers on his arch supposed to be shooting? Is he expecting enemy troops to march on Washington? Perhaps he is afraid the Canadians will seek, like the British in 1814, to burn the White House? 🤔 https://t.co/2SjF3W0rSx

How much you wanna bet that the "strong request" from the U.S. military was sorta like the "strong request" of the Kennedy Center board to add Trump's name, or the "strong requests" to issue a Trump coin, etc. https://t.co/jEjERFkTVh

No word yet if there will be a moat with sharks that have frickin laser beams attached to their heads. https://t.co/MsSler7C7f

Surprised that Trump hasn't announced he's putting a bioweapons lab in the Kennedy center which will have to be rebranded as the Donald Trump Center for the Arts of Defense

Next up – Trump needs an 18-hole golf course built on Arlington Cemetery for national security reasons.
Trump panics about widespread revulsion at his Arch, so is trying to cloak it in national security to steamroll the normal approval process and Congress.
It's even more important to stop it now, as a test case of not letting him use "national security" to do anything he wants. pic.twitter.com/K77IX9tYQJ
