https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/29/trump-fires-arts-board-arc-ballroom 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.”
The Commission of Fine Arts was established in 1910, and is tasked with “giving expert advice to the President, the Congress and the federal and District of Columbia governments on matters of design and aesthetics”, according to its website.
Its purview includes reviewing designs proposed for memorials and new or renovated government buildings, and the commission is intended to be staffed by experts in art, architecture and urban design. There is no indication about whom Trump plans to appoint to the commission.

Earlier this month, Trump unveiled plans for a grand arch close to the Arlington Memorial Bridge in Washington. The design mimics the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but with a gold Lady Liberty on top. Trump said the design could be “small, medium, large”, but added: “I happen to like the large one.”

They wont, of course. Because Democrats are spineless pussies who still want to act like there are rules. But a man can dream.

>>1453447 During his first term, the Democrats completely railroaded Trump and he played by their rules. Now he doesn't give a shit and will fire anyone not doing what he wants or tells them to fuck off. It doesn't matter if he tries to do it the "right" way because their only goal is to stall him. If he wants this finished while he is still president, he has to tell them to fuck off.

>>1453456 So Trump doesn't care about the law, just about getting what he wants. Sounds like a king, and you know what we do to those.

I hope Dems aren't so cucked that they waste the opportunity to use these same tactics when they get back into power.

>>1453692 They're gonna have to if they wanna get rid of all the dangerous incompetents Trump is putting into government. And of course Republicans will then complain even though the vast majority of Trump's appointees were never qualified for the job in the first place.

>>1453713 >if they came illegally they are ineligible for benefits Alright, let's fact check this real quick. Picking a random blue commie state out of a hat, let's look at Oregon.
OHP is Oregon's Medicaid program. Let's see what Oregon has to say.
>https://www.oregon.gov/oha/hsd/ohp/pages/healthier-oregon.aspx >As of July 1, 2023, people of all ages who meet income and other criteria qualify for full OHP benefits and other services and supports, no matter their immigration status. Oh cool.

>2. most immigrants come by airplane, Irrelevant to the point
>3. if they came illegally they are ineligible for benefits 100% completely and verifiably false. Literally every single Democrat area gives free housing, healthcare, and snap to illegals
>4. you don't even know what the word 'asylum' means. None of them are seeking asylum. Stop being retarded.
