The warning came as Trump leaves a trail of destruction in Washington, demolishing the White House East Wing to make way for a $600m ballroom and ordering a renovation of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool that resulted in algae blooms and a peeling liner.

The court filing represented the first time that Trump’s allies have raised the prospect of knocking down the Kennedy Center – a 100ft-high complex with a concert hall, opera house and theatre – as the dire alternative to closing it for two years of improvements. Such an aggressive move would be sure to face legal challenges, protests and an outcry from historic preservation groups.

The threat emerged on Monday as the administration urged a federal judge to reject a fresh legal challenge to Trump’s efforts to put his name on the Kennedy Center. The dispute has become part of a months-long battle over the president’s attempt to alter the memorial created by Congress in honour of John F Kennedy, the 35th US president who was assassinated in 1963.

The moment he focuses on anything it is fucked. Look at his past business dealings. Dude is walking, stupid cancer bragging about how it wins at everything.

    Gee, I hope some really stealth vigilante group does not start destroying properties with trumps name on them. Sure would be a shame if something bad happened. Don't spread that around though.

    I'm not rich by any means, but if we pool our money together, can't we get a hitman? I'm so tired of the world turning to shit because of an egotistical child rapist. I want him dead. Six feet under.

    Hell, I'll do it myself, considering I don't have a strong will up live, but I don't think I'll ever be in the same country as the orange shit.

    I think we need to start paying for google SEO optimization to get PSA's to secret service agents... (honestly, I don't know how they could stand there strapped with iron, and not have 'I could do so much good' floating through their head.)

    Paved over Jackie Kennedy's rose garden. Put in a garish boxing ring, then a helipad.

    If I can't have it, nobody can. Someone deal with his man and his cabal of pedophile lovers, already.

    In a surprising development the Republican Congress did fuck all about it and SCOTUS threw up their hands and said “who, me?”

    Meanwhile the media blamed Biden because he likes ice cream.
