New York Times: “While Mr. Trump and many other presidents have hosted inauguration concerts and gatherings on the memorial’s steps, any event meant to draw an audience inside the interior near Daniel Chester French’s sculpture of a seated Lincoln is prohibited. The area above the top of the steps, where the columns begin, constitutes a boundary protected by federal law.”

“So on Sunday, when the president sat down with two Fox News anchors at Lincoln’s marbled feet during a coronavirus-focused virtual ‘town hall,’ it was because a directive issued by David Bernhardt, the secretary of the interior, had allowed them to do so.”

1. The troll administration. There is nothing they won't do to destroy every last vestige of honor

and reverence in our culture. The degree of corruption is simply staggering.

2. I'm just surprised that Trump didn't try to slap a giant-sized, red MAGAt hat on Abe.

It was a disgraceful use of a national landmark in a campaign commercial.

Two hours of "ME, ME, ME!!" at the public's expense.

What an asshole.

9. And then WHINING that he has it worse than Lincoln.

How anyone can say claim he isn't a narcissist is beyond me.

4. Lying at the foot of Honest Abe. Disrespectful blasphemy.

5. that's how Leni Riefenstahl would do it.

6. Rules, laws, nothing pertains to his assholiness.

Laws are meant for people who can't afford gold plated toilets and buildings with their name on them. Donnie doesn't "do" laws.

7. Nothing is sacred to our president, except himself

8. Did you watch the interview? He pretended that faux snooze chose the venue.

I shit you not. I saw a clip on late night tv.

10. The top photo says it all: Lincoln was a giant. Trump is a very, very small man
