he photograph is almost too on-the-nose to qualify as satire. Drone footage of Washington, DC this weekend showed the results of the last few months of Trumpism, an architectural mishmash of pure, unfettered absurdity.
In the foreground is a half-built UFC octagon known as The Claw, constructed for a fight that supposedly celebrates 250 years of America and will also conveniently fall on Donald Trumps 80th birthday.
In the middle ground are the half-demolished remains of the East Wing of the White House, alongside a large building site surrounding the whoops, actually its taxpayer-funded! ballroom Trump decided he just had to have. A federal judge recently stalled its construction but, since the president predicted death and destruction if it didnt continue, we can presume that the ballroom build will resume very soon.
And of course, in the background, barely visible through the debris, is Americas seat of democracy: the White House itself.
