Where do we literally donate for this ?

#TrumpIsAmerica

Or it might be cheaper to just put two arms, one holding a noose the other a Bible, on the #WashingtonMonument.

More views of the Washington Monument, where they're either trying to make you believe you just had a flashback from those drugs you took in the 1960s, or they're doing preps for Freedom 250, set for New Year's Eve. #NewYearsEve #Freedom250 #washingtonmonument

(1) NEW: Wondering about the strange colors, shapes, and shadows on the Washington Monument tonight? It's prep for the New Year's Eve Freedom 250 kickoff. Projectors are being readied for the videos that will be shown on all four sides of the monument. #Freedom250 #washingtonmonument

Trump-Kennedy Center?

I THINK #LincolnMemorial should be changed to the Crispus Attucks-Lincoln Memorial.

#JeffersonMemorial? Sally Hemings-Jefferson Memorial.

#WashingtonMonument? Native American scouts (named unknown)-Washington Monument

#POTUS #Trump - Your brown-nosers R setting a trend?

lol. lmao even

I have just been informed that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, because of the unbelievable work President Trump has done over the last year in saving the building. Not only from the standpoint of its reconstruction, but also financially, and its reputation. Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump, and likewise, congratulations to President Kennedy, because this will be a truly great team long into the future! The building will no doubt attain new levels of success and grandeur.

This week's randomly generated selected #ThrowbackThursday image, is barely a throwback at all, as it is from June of this year... more info in ALT

I went to DC to document the, I thought, going to be massive protests for the orange baby creature's bday/military parade he was throwing in his own honor... only to find it was the ONE city in the entire US where there was NOT any whatsoever! 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Of course, did not hang around to partake in his festivities, and went back to my hotel, that had a rooftop lounge area, and is where I captured these helicopters that were participating in the military parade, as they made a few flyovers over it, from the direction of the monument
