I work in events. That is a very temporary structure. The frame is aluminum trussing, and although it would hold up fairly well, all of the fabric will start bleaching within 3-4 weeks, the metal chains holding everything up will start rusting pretty quickly being exposed to the elements. The lights themselves aren’t IP rated and are relying on the fabric for protection so those will fail pretty quickly. Finally the stage itself has a wood underlayment that will rot within a single season if left outside.

Lastly it’s all rented and the rental company will continue to charge the client until it’s returned.

The ideal Trump monument.

Can't wait to find out that this somehow cost us taxpayers like a hundred million dollars.

And the rental company is DefinitelyNotTrumpJr LLC.

It'll be like a toilet in the front yard and he plants flowers in it. White trash is his style.

Ah, but the toilet is gold!

They’re expecting trump to pay the rental fee? How quaint.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 18 points 6 hours ago

It's not Donald paying. It's those of us who actually pay taxes.

You just know Trump will try to screw them and pocket the money instead.

[-] herrvogel@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago

I bet the last point is one of the major reasons why Trump would want it to stay. Guy seems to have a weird fetish for not paying what he owes.

Probably a power trip, one of the few he gets away with. "Smart men don't pay taxes or bills!"

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

yes, but do you really think the orange pedo rapist would know about … (check notes) … anything?

[-] Iusedtobeanalien@lemmy.world 2 points 31 minutes ago* (last edited 30 minutes ago)

When he claims to know about everything it's just a cover for his lack of knowledge about anything

He's suxh a cringeworthy moron
