He should just go ahead and tear it all down.

No one will stop him.

But what if he gets a look of disapproval? Surely that would stop the Nazi king.

The Whitehouse is an empty symbol. Politics is actually set on the Yatchs and in the meeting rooms of The Oligarchs.

Here's my pitch, Trump starts wearing a military outfit, like a General. When he visits Oligarchs he goes with his tallest strongest ICE thugs (The Oligarchs don't like this, Trump doesn't like all the travel to see them individually).

Eventually they all build a grand hall where they have meetings and they have to wear robes.

They're ranked by how much money they have, and each vy for rule over separation geographical areas and economic/technological functions. We call them The Oligarchical Council, and get very angry when their companies lose money, or product updates are bad (because it represents a drop in quality of life).

FOSS software becomes illegal, a violation of the accords of Capitalism.
