To see these beautiful interiors besmirched with such ugliness.

Who ended slavery and a Civil War. Not to mention that Reagan, along with the other living former presidents, Carter and Ford, supported the Assault Weapons Ban, and helped President Clinton to get it passed in 1994.

There should be a wing of pictures his conquests of all the little girls at the moment of conquest ....the blood ,tears, crying begging, pleading little girls with him standing astride his conquests, zipping up his pants. Going need a bigger wing.,

But I'm trying to figure out the general theme of all the portraits he has on the wall opposite him.

We have on the top row:
Theodore Roosevelt
John Adams
Benjamin Franklin
George Washington
Thomas Jefferson
(I can't make out who that is)
Franklin Roosevelt

Second row includes:
Martin Van Buren
Ulysses Grant (I THINK as it's pretty tiny)
(James Monroe is my best guess, but I again it is tiny and I can't really make out who it is)
James K Polk (I believe...it's pretty dark from fading I'd assume, but there's a famous Polk portrait that looks like that)

It's very likely that at least some of them were selected because their size and frame looks Trump-"nice" on the wall.

And a metal mini-ststue, too of his raised fist post-shot moment w the secret service.

BLARGH!!!
What an f-tard!

Oh. and the painting where he's "slimmed down" by ?150+ pounds?!

I feel bad for any regular staff who don't like him, but stay on for various reasons - including hoping a better President is elected next.
