Trump removed $750,000 art from our ambassador's France residence to the WH during his now infamous 2018 visit
the same one where he decided not to visit Belleau Wood cemetery, he had extra time. Walking around the US ambassador's residence, he saw a bunch of art pieces he liked including a portrait, figurines and a bust. He decided to have them loaded on Air Force One and are now on display at the WH
he "joked" they will return at the end of his second term.
Apparently since they're governmental property it was technically legal of him to do so, no matter how tacky
This is a huge red flag. They need to check every suitcase, even frisk him and all his associates when his time at the WH is over. You know they'll probably try to steal something

If Trump gets another 4 years, the Constitution will be up for auction at Christie’s.

OP, don’t you remember Hill and Bill took the China and lots of furniture. They were basically broke when he was done being president. (So they claim)

R4. This is not "Whataboutism." Always looking to excuse Trump's corruption by talking about Clinton or Obama.
Trump is corrupt.

Jackie stole Thomas Jefferson's chairs and some other things from the White House that came up for sale in the Sothebys auction after her death. Given what she'd been through, I would too.

OMG! How are any of these people taking shit from France to the US or stealing it without paying for it, OK?
IDGAF who did it or why. It’s wrong!!!

Since people get the vapors when we dare to compare Trump to Hitler, does this mean we can at least start comparing the fat fuck to Hermann Goering?

R4 That's actually a myth. The Clintons themselves didn't take things that belonged to the white house, the packing crew mistakenly packed things that belongs to the white house and it was noticed and the Clintons were notified of this mistake and the objects belonging to the white house were returned without incident.
That's a right wing lie that Republicans love to tell.

Aren't things belonging to the white house marked so people know that it's property owned by the white house residence? I believe I've read that somewhere.

And wasn’t the stuff replicas of the actual stuff?
What a pathetic sack of shit.

I'm surprised it wasn't more. $750,000 isn't much, in terms of the kind of art that would be in the American Embassy in Paris. That is probably the embassy with the most valuable art. It's by far the most beautiful U.S. embassy in the world.

I had to look it up: apparently he took a bust of Benjamin Franklin, a portrait of Franklin, and some figurines:
The next day, Trump had a bust of Benjamin Franklin, a portrait of Franklin and a set of figurines of Greek mythical characters loaded on to Air Force One for the trip back to the White House, with the precious cargo estimated to be worth about $750,000.

This is quite funny. He really is very possibly the only human being who ever lived who had no shame, dignity or self-respect. He must have been raise by wolves.

People like Trump are sent to test us. It's really a spiritual battle. He really is just pure evil.
I have met and been involved with someone like him. The behaviours are just the same, in a different context of course.
It really left me deeply distressed, and all these years later my mind is still just piercing the veil of all his lies. I can understand Trump voters from the point of view, for the inability to see through the lies.

If Biden made his platform one of a traditional Labour candidate, as in, closing the borders, stopping outsourcing, and stopping China from destroying the environment and U.S. manufacturing (i.e.: actually fighting the CCP), then Trump would become - in an instant - nothing more than two pointy shoes sticking out from underneath a house, which then evaporate rapidly.

How much did the Clinton's take when they left the White House and how much were they forced to return?

Trump is a total grifter and thief everywhere he goes. They better check Melania's cunt well because a lot of stuff can fit up there. Pretty sure R21 lives in it.

I doubt he returns them. In fact, when he leaves the WH they need to have everything catalogued because he will probably try to strip the whole thing clean.

He won't return anything he as President transfers to himself.
