I'd suggest that building design is not one of the more important
items that needs the attention of Presidents, especially this
President who has to contend with fraudulent voting while
surrounded by hostiles.

Same taste as Albert Speer's most memorable patron. Don't frown, it's true.

DT I agree with you that this doesn't rank as a priority, given that they'll punt it 30 days from now anyways.

To be fair, nearly every country favors a columned building in government design.

Now, in Munich today, the House of German Art has some nifty mosaics if you know where to look.

I think a Treasury building put up in the very early 1800's Trumps anything Hitler even thought of,

It may be elegant to build in a classical style but unfortunately it is not only far more expensive, there is a problem with getting artisans who can work in stone. There are some around but not many.

But if you begin a building programs, more artisans will appear -- the many will learn from the few.

Somehow the wishes of a looser candidate who also has the distinction of being impeached will probably not count for much in the days ahead.
