Destroying iconic architecture is his hobby. Trump Tower in NYC replaced the iconic Bonwit Teller building, which was one of the last standing examples of its distinctive architectural style.

He announced his intention to tear it down, and historians went nuts. The Metropolitan Museum of Art offered to take the famous bas relief sculptures from the facade, and he agreed.

Then one morning, NYC woke up to Trump simply destroying the building, including the iconic friezes that he had promised to save.

So destroying iconic architecture is just standard Trump behavior.

So he agreed to give the sculptures but then destroyed them anyway?

He has a tell when he is lying. It's a bit tricky to spot, but when he opens his mouth you can tell he is lying

Not always true. He told the world he wanted to be a dictator. That he had help rigging the election. That he was going to deport all the immigrants, legal or otherwise.

All true, and all happening. A lot of his followers thought those were lies though, because that was more convenient than admitting they had been had by a conman.

Agreed. I think a better summary would be to say if that he tells you what he is going to do, it’s usually true. Everything else before and after that is usually a lie.

I'd say, if what he says he's going to do is going to benefit him personally in any way. He's going to do it. If it doesn't, it's complete bullshit.

Fuck.. you're right. I apologize
