    Next admin - if there’s a next admin - should tear it down again, but don’t build anything in its place. Just leave it as rubble.

    One thing this country could use is a visibly obvious scar to prevent us from forgetting the unfathomable damage that can be done to ourselves when we give power to someone like Trump.

      The next admin should tear it down because it is probably filled with foreign listening devices

        That’s a bingo! The United States is probably 90% exposed. All of their deepest secrets are completely compromised. I mean we have a Russian asset as the president, Russian asset as the DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE, classified documents all over the place because of the extreme incompetence of this administration, and a million other fully exposed positions.

          It’s to the point where I really don’t know what to do about it other than shrug. There is nothing that could meaningfully change it at this point. It’s insanity.

      Tear it back down, prosecute everyone involved in this resign if terror, and dedicate the space to being a museum detailing their crimes and punishment

      I was thinking, build a new, brutalist, mainly underground executive complex and turn the white house into a museum. The ballroom houses an exhibit on the warning signs of oppression and fascism.
