Not just the ballroom...his arch, his AF1, his library, his Kennedy Center, his stupid face plastered on buildings throughout DC, his signature on the dollar. It's endless his quest for monuments to himself.

Just insane that so many people thought he was normal and voted for him. We have lots of sickness in our country.
