Donald J. Trump IS working hared to leave the ‘Donald Was Here’ Real Estate across Washington D.C.
Never-mind that his creations ARE being started at the White House, Memorial Circle and the Wading Pool….
He’s ‘Donald ….he never had much for the rules (he’s actually a convicted Felon)…
He’s ”The President’!
So he’s gonna KEEP doing WTF he wants unless his party members in Congress stop him….
Problem IS though?
Them same GOPer’s in Congress ARE balking are lets the New York Real Estate guy use taxpayer money and he ain’t happy….
But under federal law, certain parts of the city — including Memorial Circle, which is managed by the National Park Service — are considered protected land, and monuments built there require congressional authorization.
White House and agency officials have repeatedly declined to answer whether they will seek authorization for Trump’s arch from the current Congress. Two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the administration’s plans, said there are no active plans to do so.
The administration has also begun the process of seeking approvals from a pair of federal arts and building commissions that Trump has stacked with his allies, with another hearing slated for Thursday morning.
Instead, administration officials have cited a 1924 report by a federal commission charged with designing the Arlington Memorial Bridge. That report called for building a pair of 166-foot-tall columns, surmounted by statues, on Columbia Island that would frame the nearby Lincoln Memorial.
Congress formally ratified the commission’s report in 1925, and the Memorial Bridge was soon built. However, the columns were not constructed, and Trump officials today argue that in building the arch they would be carrying out past lawmakers’ wishes….
Note….
I’m waiting for the Executive Order renaming Washington D. C. ‘Donald Land’ requiring tickets to visit ?
