“President Trump’s embrace of an official classicizing style in art and architecture finds its closest equivalent in authoritarian regimes,” Anderson wrote. What a cheap shot! The Post should be embarrassed that the paper published it.

Then there were the comments by the reliably Trump-hating Post readers, art critics all:

• “Wonder when Crow is going to loan Dementia Don his NAZI collection.”
• “In 2029, the Democratic POTUS is going to tear them down, and everything else Trump did to deface the Peoples House and Washington DC and restore them all back to early January 2025.”
• “This is Trump’s version of Nero fiddling.”
• “The five times draft dodger forgets it’s our house. Not his. Ours. We pay the bills. They all are only squatters at this point using our tax dollars illegally. Why doesn’t the 80 year old put a statue up of he, his 3rd wife, Epstein, and Maxwell? It can mirror one of the many photos that we all have seen. He has been named 38k times in the first Epstein released files. Many redactions and millions still unreleased.”
• “It’s a Statue of Hitler he really wants.”
• “Trump is his own Albert Speer.”
• “Harlan Crow, again, along with bad-taste, Trump at the helm who plans to never leave the WH.”

I estimate that more than 90% of the comments are in that vein.
