George Washington's teeth - Wikipedia

During his life, Washington had four sets of dentures. He began wearing partial dentures by 1781. [5] Despite many people believing they were made of wood, they contained no wood, and may have been made of teeth extracted from slaves, as well as other materials such as hippopotamus ivory, brass and gold.

You say.

.... dentures make from the teeth extracted from slaves.

Now there is one trophy trDUMP would like to get his grimy mitts on. Just imagine trDUMP taking the dentures off his mantle and handing them to one of his white trash supremacist buddies.

Then explaining how white folk's dentures were derived from yanking the teeth from the mouths of slaves. The air of the room would be filled with Nazi delight, excitement, and joy.

8. Washington's dentures are not in the WH. One set is on display in the basement of the GW Masonic

Temple in Alexandria, VA. I've seen them.
Not sure if other sets still exist.

2. One would think this has been done

We know there was plenty of damage to White House china and serving dishes, but there is probably an inventory done with each new president of everything in the White House.

6. Not just Trump

On the last day, a number of people here noticed Trump staff seemed to be leaving the WH with items that might not be theirs. I would not normally be that suspicious, but Trump was especially gifted at hiring the worst sociopaths that were not already in prison, so an inventory would seem to be in order.

Decorative items mostly. But who knows what was in the boxes?

11. I clearly remember this, TV showing two Trump staffers carrying a huge painting out the front door.

One of the talking heads said Trump's staff were taking "souvenirs" from the White House.

So now we know that Trump most likely did the same with WH historical objects.

9. This is where the arrest could start. Even if 90-days is the penalty.

might not require a Grand Jury or 21-months from arrest to conviction. 90-days, a hefty fine and looking like a real loser in front of the World could be a start.

10. Trump was stealing art objects from overseas embassies when he traveled.

He would just help himself to what he liked. It was publicized once when he did it.
I assume it was not an isolated event.

So I think it is safe to assume he did the same thing with WH objects.

WH objects went out the the front door to the moving van like the classified documents.

Probably no one will do anything about the WH stolen items.
