"I don't believe in building libraries or museums" -Trump
This was said when he was discussing plans for his presidential library which will be a hotel.
Everyone is acting like he didn't say this. It's not surprising. Libraries and museums don't make a lot of money. I suspect that they exist at all must really confuse him. I'm not saying this to make fun of him. It just seems to be... how it is.
Is this just rage bait for liberals? Come on look at it.
@futurebird This seems vaguely Warholian. And, while I absolutely despise Trump, I think it’s conceptually perfect. Almost beautiful (in a crass way). The aesthetics, of course, are fascist horrible.
Also a library would imply books.
I feel this. A part of me wants to see that new wing of the white house like I want to see an artwork about "the American condition"
Another part of me hears moderates howling about how tacky it is and "this is NOT who we are" and just mutters "no it is, it *is* who you are"
but yeah yeah yeah there are better uses for that money.
@futurebird “The American condition” is a chef’s kiss of a title for it.
And I think you’re 100% right. It’s a metaphor/manifestation for a country that elected a man (ostensibly) because he’d make us prosperous, despite everything we knew.
