12. Yippers, just like they walked out of the WH

Friday

carrying busts, statues, and other valuables and loaded them into the cars when trump left the WH for Mar-a-Lago. Not to mention all the boxes of secret documents he loaded, as well. What I wonder is how much of the "detritus" was valuable in and of itself. Not just what was put on pedestals, but what was built into the walls that was valuable. Some of that may not be of value monetarily, but priceless culturally. We already know trump cares nothing for culture. Everything is transactional in his world. If it's not of value, money-wise, then it's worthless. This destruction he has wrought goes far deeper than most of us can put into words, and certainly not words he could understand.
