The Egyptian pharaohs tried having gold-encrusted tombs, and the entrepreneurs among the local populace started robbing them before the mortar was dry on the sealed entrance. Come to think of it, that would be an appropriate memorial for the Odious Orange One.
Claire Hanna (SDLP) said that Trump clearly "wasn't as orange as he looks"....
That's very good. I was travelling through rural Antrim twice last week. There were a lot of flags out, and some fresh-looking slogans painted up including 'we will never accept a united Ireland' which struck me as surprisingly enthusiastic / emphatic (though, admittedly, I have spent a lot more time in Belfast and Dublin than in rural Antrim) until I got home and heard the surprising recent pronouncements of the US Prince of Orange.
That's interesting. I was wondering how seriously Unionists, who have been rather pro-Trump by and large, would take his recent comments. Answer - apparently quite seriously.

IME, Unionists and both-siders are fond of the analysis which holds that no one ever supported the IRA except a bunch of rich Americans in New York and Boston. That always struck me as conveniently self-exonerating, and one wonders how Sinn Fein could have prospered as well as they have post-Troubles if their affiliated underground was hated by everyone except a few Americans, but Trump's comments were probably just perfect for picking that particular scab.
Journalists regain access to White House after judge blocks Trump's media ban. I am sort of sorry to hear this. I have been enjoying not seeing face, or hearing his voice.
Why does trump seem to love all things destructive?

Because it's much, much harder to build than to destroy? And requires keeping one's mind on a single project, instead of flitting from this to that like an over-caffeinated hummingbird.

Fair point. Let the Ballroom be razed, and let there be no stone or mausoleum anywhere.
All answered by one: money.

I’m sure Trump is motivated by the need to show how powerful he is, and an absurd amount of vanity.
