This man is so weird
Someone told him Congress will approve crazy requests if he can make them sound like they're for the military. Which is true, but he's so demented at this point that he can't connect any of the other obvious dots.
Because of course a wealthy, powerful democracy needs a base for drones and snipers inside the capital city which consciously resembles a monument to Roman imperialism.
So if a coordinated group slowly shows up in a nearby public area, then quickly convene and take action, they could potentially overrun the facility and seize military grade weaponry, right near the white house?
Sounds like a great plan... Do it
Important point. A tourist attraction and a military complex don't go together.
It's clearly meant as an aid for a new Jan 6, no other reason to want to put an arms cache in the reach of a public mob near the white house.
My thought was someone would wheel in a giant arch, say it's a gift for Trump, have him bring it into the main area of the White House, then people would jump out and overthrow the White House?
Call it the Arc de Troyomph?
So just like most of the things he’s built, it’ll self implode, collapse shortly after he’s siphoned off as much of the funds as he can.
Millions of conservatives thought this was a good idea twice.
