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.

    If I may be so bold as to offer a suggestion. I mean, what do those fine arts people know about taste and quality?

    There’s a tasteful design that’s just wasting away, as yet unbuilt. A design fit for a king and a world capital! It features a large hall, a modest 320m (1000ft) high. And of course a beautifully subtle triumphal arch, 100m (330ft) high, fit for the splendor of the most glorious nation on earth.

    Truly making Germany America Great Again!
