Also, he purged the Kennedy Center of a collection of African art that was given in tribute to JFK, but he installed this, from the Tony Montana Meets Saddam Hussein Collection.

Indescribably, almost parodistically ugly, vulgar, gold-foil relief art, straight out of a dictator's cocaine palace, of Trump raising his fist and saying "Fight! Fight! Fight!" after having his ear grazed by a bullet, and of RFK Jr. with some croaky quote next to him.

"The Greenland government’s statement said it “would not be proportionate” to demand the equipment be removed." WTF? Confiscate all equipment. Arrest everyone involved. Also, begin drilling at Mar-a-Lago and on the White House Lawn immediately. 🇬🇱 🇩🇰 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
