We shouldn't be surprised that Donald Trump had no respect for the history or beauty of the East Wing or the Reflecting Pool.
He's always been like that. Back in 1980, he promised to give two beloved Art Deco friezes to the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art. Instead, he jackhammered them into dust.

"The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism — the tendency to be self-centered and entitled. The higher the opinions of themselves leaders expressed, the more they coveted power and status — and the more they favored return-to-office mandates."
The same man who will pardon you if you ransack the Capitol and smear your feces on its wall will throw you in jail if you wiggle your fingers in the water of the Reflecting Pool.
