... excuse me, but that is not a backhoe in the photo, it's an excavator, which travels on tracks, like a bulldozer, not wheels. A backhoe is mounted on the back a tractor, hence the term, backhoe. It is usually accompanied by a front loader mounted on the front of the tractor. An actual backhoe is too small for a job of this size. An excavator's long boom and arm are necessary to reach the upper floors of a protected historical building that evil fucking child molester currently defiling the Oval Office has NO business destroying.
He'll probably die before it's completed, so he won't be able to do his asinine dance in his useless ballroom. Didn't anybody tell him that no one visits the White House to dance? I look forward to the day when the world is rid of that psychopath.
