The White House has fired all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, an independent federal agency charged with advising the president, Congress and the city of Washington, DC, on “matters of design and aesthetics,” according to a source familiar with the matter.

The firings come as Donald Trump has sought to impose his style on the nation’s capital through a slate of construction projects, including a planned triumphal arch, new White House ballroom, and paving over the Rose Garden.

    Do you really think these pissants know what a triumph actually is or the purpose of a triumphal arch? They probably just see the Greco-Roman inspired stuff around Washington DC and want to mimic it not getting that the various architects of DC were Romaboos making a point, except the Washington monument that’s straight Egyptaboo which is fitting cause the Romans were also Egyptaboos.
