Democratic Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego appeared on CNN this morning and said the next Democratic President should destroy all remnants of Trump, including the beautification of Washington, DC, once he leaves the White House.
Trump has undertaken various projects to beautify DC, including cleaning the vandalism and restoring statues and monuments across the city, fixing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, and building a White House Ballroom and a "Triumphal Arch."
The Department of the Interior is preparing to break ground on the Arch on Columbia Island, where it will overlook the Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial across the Potomac River. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum announced earlier this month that the excavation work was set to begin "over the next two-week period."
We are pleased to announce that after a very long wait (over 125 years!), we are preparing to start, over the next two-week period, the excavation work necessary for the Great Triumphal Arch and Military Observation Deck, at Memorial Circle on Columbia Island between the Lincoln… pic.twitter.com/8aff90jKNd

But Gallego says he would advocate for the reversal of these actions, including tearing down the Arch and Trump's ballroom, under a Democratic president. Apparently, he would also have vandals and hobos return to the monuments as well.
"I think I'd be advocating for almost all of that," Gallego told CNN's Jake Tapper.
"You know, the real stain that this president has put on this country has been the fact that he eroded democracy," he continued, pointing to January 6, accusing Trump of attempting a coup. "That right there is a reason why we should not have anything’s name towards him."
Gallego then said Trump "destroyed the institutions that have kept this government together through some of the hardest times," including the DOJ, arguing that "we need to be taking down all these, you know, honorific situations or emblems of him."
Of the Triumphal Arch, he said it's an "ugly monstrosity" that would desecrate the Arlington National Cemetery and that it's an example of Trump "destroy[ing] the very fundamental things that these men and women have fought for, which is to save this country and continue this democracy."

What a wonderful party.
Yes. The democrats are going to tear down the ballroom after Trump is out of office
These people are so insane it’s not even funny
dimRat = The Party of Death and Destruction
Is there a way to stop that from happening? That is, apart from the obvious and preferred option of ensuring we win the vote? If we were to lose, is there a way to stop successive Demoncrat governments from attacking everything done so far?
Ruben’s white whale.
Hate is a powerful evil. Debased minds are the result of hate, especially when hate is wrong and what they hate is right!!!
The Supreme court got citizenship all wrong. Trump gets it. Muslims are populating twice us and giving them birthright citizenship and block voting will give them leadership from schools to federal level. I will probably be with Jesus, but this will backfire on the young USSC judges children....
I have a feeling the next kook dem president will be very grateful for the super secure facility/fortress and beautiful ballroom that Trump is building. These idiots can’t think that far ahead.
Not a chance. The arch, maybe, but not the ballroom. If you don’t like your older sibling, when they move out do you burn their really cool stuff to spite them, or do you use it for yourself? The democracy rhetoric is for the rubes. Left with a very nice ballroom, damned straight they’re going to use it.
They won’t call it the “Trump Ballroom;” their spite will only extend to giving it some other name
The underground component is the new Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) — a replacement for the original WWII-era bunker that was demolished in October 2025 along with the East Wing.
What's being built:
Trump revealed in May 2026 that the new complex will be six stories deep and include a military hospital, research facilities, meeting rooms, bomb shelters, and secure communications infrastructure.
Court filings describe "protective missile-resistant steel columns, beams, drone-proof roofing materials, and bullet, ballistic, and blast-proof glass."
Trump has described the ballroom as essentially "a shed for what's being built under," and White House officials have characterized the underground work as a matter of national security.
Allegory needs to go to his hotel..”Graybar Hotel”. He made is reservation already.
The obsessive hate has driven them to violence.
Awful. And an unfortunate side effect of not being respected or feared by your enemies.
Akin to burning down their own neighborhoods,,,
Go figure and vote them out
They serve their master.
Once the Dems see how good the lighting in the ballroom is, making their selfies extra special, they will never take it down.
Congress can pass a law or a Constitutional Amendment forbidding it from being destroyed..........
Yep, that is what would really happen. They will change the name and get rid of any golden embellishments.
It’s really not a Ballroom....It needs a new tag... Convention Center or something like that makes more sense.
