What's driving Trump's push to leave his mark on Washington - Washington Week PBS

[Rhiannon12866]

Trump seems much more engaged with architecture and design projects in Washington than he is in managing the globe. The panel discusses Trump’s preoccupation with legacy and how history will remember him. - Aired on 05/08/2026.

1. Kind of reminds me of how Hitler got together with Albert Speer and said,

"Hey! Let's rebuild Berlin. No! Let's make it Germany!"

Coming from a "Leader" who couldn't be admitted into the art academy.

2. Believe it or not, I remember that!

We learned that about Hitler in World History class and I remember wondering - or maybe even asked aloud - if only he'd gotten into that art academy, would that have changed history and have spared the lives of millions??

4. If I remember correctly, one of the reasons why he wasn't admitted was

his paintings lacked "correct" dimensions and proportions. Ironically, as art evolved into the 20th century (Da-Da, etc.), Hitler's work might have been recognized as innovative. But he was applying to a classic and staid and traditional art academy.

What if . . . . .

3. It all can be restored

And when the pedo party tapes ,starring DONALD J TRUMP ,come out after one year, you will find no who supported him, or so they will

say..

He'll never be sure his best friend didn't prank him by leaving behind tapes or copies ( Kash is on top of this)

Doesn't seem to be any hitler celebration or statues in Germany ,we can do the same.

There isn't word yet to describe the total trump failure we are suffering through.

5. He is not leaving his mark on Washington.

He is creating a safe space for himself and his chosen few so that when things finally do become untenable for them, they will just hunker down and await the military's victory over the masses of plebes.

This is not about a 'ballroom'.
