Protest art on the national mall isn’t a new thing. So I’m not sure why it surprising that a bureaucrat did their job when presented with a legal request?
It’s possible the president will be a giant man baby and order it removed again, but that doesn’t really have anything to do with the request and approval process.
Okay but as a non-american this is a reasonable response. Trumps shitstorm is seeping into every little crack in the government and youre telling me they approved an epstien and trump statue? Kinda wild if you ask me.
1st amendment. It’s not in good taste (or is absolutely so, depending on your POV), but it’s not inherently inappropriate for public view. I’m more surprised it was allowed back, though, since this admin would absolutely fire the entire team that approved the permit the first time.
This is where I lose the plot. Someone in charge saw the request to put up a statue of epstein, and said “Well this seems like a plan I can trust!”
Wat???

Freedom of speech is a wildly misunderstood concept to a lot of people.
Yeah, they probably have a list of rules like ‘Is it obscene?’, ‘Is it hazardous?’ etc and stuff that doesn’t tick any boxes gets the okay.

Im surprised Trump doesn’t find and fire this bureaucrat.
