In an article for Sunday’s New York Times that bordered on parody, reporter Jason Horowitz touted concerns from Washington D.C. liberals that the incoming Trump administration would sap the nation’s capital of its culture: “What the effect on Washington will be when Donald J.

It’s like when Andrew Jackson won, and his supporters tramped mud all over the White House rugs during the inauguration partying. Tisk, tisk, tisk.

Set the city back? That sounds like it would be moving it forward.

I sure hope he ruins this corrupt culture, I wouldn’t call it a culture, more likely a cesspool.

That culture has been corrupt and evil for years. Hope Trump can restore some good (truth & decency) to that cesspool.

These Pajama Boy DC cultural elitists ought to just be done with it already and move to Canada, Patagonia, New Zealand, or wherever they believe they’ll find their safe space, and start creating their socialist utopia there. News Flash to all Libtards! The United States is no longer ‘safe’! Trump and his hoards of Trumpanzees will DEFINITELY ruin everything! Run Away! Run for your lives!
