What, you think he's going to spare the treasures from a shithole country? Sometimes I wonder if he's even human.

There are 81 million people living in Iran

He has not given a single thought to those people. What it would mean to them to lose their historical sites. He has not even given any thought to the people that were not supporters of Soleimani and what it must feel like for them to hear him say that he will destroy their history. Again, no regard for minorities.

I'm feeling sick thinking about the Taliban destroying the Buddhas at Bamyan, knowing Donald Fucking Trump would be more than happy to do the equivalent in Iran.

Trump’s interactions with the world of art appreciation have been largely in the role of a antagonist. It makes sense, because he seems to have been a scion of one: 50 years ago, his father’s Brooklyn housing development decimated the historic Steeplechase Park in Coney Island. According to Coney Island: Lost and Found, a history of the amusement area, the elder Trump even held a “demolition party,” at which invited guests threw bricks through the park’s façade.

I was so sickened by his disregard for such cultural treasures. He is such a heathen. All of NYC was outraged at his blatant disregard for preserving that artwork. And he wonders why they will never accept him.

They have no appreciation for the arts or culture. They are such vulgar, money grubbing, uncultured boors. They are an embarrassment to the nation.
