Smelt it into a really large metal bullet and use a rail gun to see how many of tRump and those at the Heritage Foundation fucks it can pierce. Ya know, for science!

I’d melt down the entire fucking WH and build anew.

I'm guessing that he had it done himself and that he owns it and isn't gonna leave it behind.

I would be very surprised if he paid anything from his own pocket for it. I would also assume he'd take it with him, but that's assuming he would hand over power peacefully.

I would be very surprised if he paid anything from his own pocket for it.

The article says that he's trying to get donations for a larger one, so he definitely isn't getting government funds for that.

I mean, it's a desk paperweight. He's wealthy. This is not a ton of money.
