All of Trump's piecemeal walls are an eyesore. It's such a mishmash hodgepodge of crap and irredeemably ugly. I hate him AND his walls. I hope Biden removes all that garbage so we can see the place again. As Trump has it now, it is an eyesore and disgusting. And it was put up for disgusting reasons....because Trump is BunkerBoy and a wimp who won't answer for the anger the crap that comes out of his mouth causes.

Kinda surprised that the MSM hasn't mentioned it considering so many of their outlets and reporters are based in Washington.

White House Fence Project Obscures Tourists’ View

Barriers recently went up as the National Park Service and the Secret Service began a $64 million project to install a 13-foot, 1-inch (3.96 meter) steel picket fence around the White House — twice as tall as the fence being replaced.

I have a better idea than hiring some company to tear this atrocity down: come, say, March or April next year (not because this is such a wonderful thing that it should stay up longer than it needs to, but because it is not warm in DC in January) President Biden rents four or five Bobcat loaders, a D8 Cat bulldozer, and several dump trucks, brings in a Special Forces demolition team with a pickup truck full of TNT, orders a truckload of sledgehammers, jackhammers, pickaxes, mauls, pulaskis and anything else that's heavy, and allows anyone who wants to participate to come in and beat the living piss out of Trump's attempt at setting himself apart from the people. Give us about a month's notice so we'll have time to buy plane tickets and take time off from work. We'll have a team of instructors from the International Union of Operating Engineers on hand to give short courses in Bobcat driving, so anyone who wants to try a Bobcat will be able to. (And let's be real here: EVERYONE wants to drive a Bobcat at least once.)

And where should we put the rubble from its destruction? Why, of course: We go to one randomly-selected Trump golf course and dump that shit in the parking lot.
