Why do we even pretend there’s oversight anymore?
Donald Trump has fired all six members of an independent federal agency responsible for reviewing his controversial White House ballroom and planned “Arc de Trump” in Washington DC.
The Washington Post first reported that all members of the Commission of Fine Arts were dismissed on Tuesday.
“On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the Commission of Fine Arts is terminated, effective immediately,” read an email sent to one of the commissioners, which was obtained by the Post.
A White House official told the Guardian: “We are preparing to appoint a new slate of members to the commission that are more aligned with President Trump’s America First Policies.”

That is fucking rich. Building a ballroom, giving Argentina $20 billion while also preparing to give Jamaica tons of relief money (after dismantling USAID). Meanwhile, the government isn’t open because he refuses to support Healthcare subsidies to help people, and millions of people are without SNAP benefits.
Dude isn’t America First, he’s Trump first.
