You know, like when Washington scrubbed that whole monolith clean, or when Mr. Rushmore carved those faces into the rock. We name monuments after the guy who renovates them.
Q: Why is it so important for you to have your name on the Kennedy Center?
TRUMP: Well, it's a very simple question to answer, because it's a mess. I think the Trump administration should certainly have recognition.

I'm just saying, it shouldn't be that surprising that a guy with control of the FBI and CIA, who is familiar with Epstein's operation, somehow gets cooperation from the entire GOP and most billionaires.
