Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I’d melt down the entire fucking WH and build anew.

I'm guessing that he had it done himself and that he owns it and isn't gonna leave it behind.

I would be very surprised if he paid anything from his own pocket for it. I would also assume he'd take it with him, but that's assuming he would hand over power peacefully.

The article says that he's trying to get donations for a larger one, so he definitely isn't getting government funds for that.

I mean, it's a desk paperweight. He's wealthy. This is not a ton of money.

Even more reason to melt it down...
