Jason Crow said that Trump\u2019s desecration of Washington, D.C. landmarks, such as his botched renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, exemplifies the flippancy and vaingloriousness with which he wields the powers of the commander-in-chief.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s wild, really, because there are so many physical manifestations of the corruption of this administration,\u201d the Democratic congressman, 47, told host Joanna Coles. \u201cIn the past, it would be almost kind of abstract and ethereal, right? Like some kind of fraud scheme or something.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cAnd that stuff still happens, actually, in spades, right? Like, most of the corruption just quantitatively is that type of stuff,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe pay-to-play operations, how they\u2019d monetize the government and their setting up all their buddies and cronies and the over $2 billion that the Trump family has benefited over the last year and a half.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump, 80, and his family have raked in nearly $2.5 billion since he took office last year, according to the House Oversight Democrats\u2019 Trump Family Digital Grift Wealth Tracker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut then there\u2019s all these physical manifestations of it,\u201d Crow explained. \u201cThe huge UFC cage that was erected on the South Lawn, the demolishing of the East Wing. And that was actually&#8230; a turning point, I think, in people\u2019s view of the conduct of this administration, when he demolished the East Wing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aside from constructing a ridiculous metal contraption dubbed \u201cThe Claw\u201d on the South Lawn for his 80th birthday bash, and trying and failing to plaster his name on the historic Kennedy Center, Trump has frequently bragged about his tacky ballroom\/bunker pegged to replace the now-demolished East Wing.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the president claiming that the project, initially estimated at $400 million, would not cost American taxpayers a dime, records obtained by The Washington Post show that the full cost actually sits at around $600 million, with taxpayers footing about half the bill.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cPeople on both sides of&#8230; the spectrum really disliked that, right? Because it\u2019s a sacred place for Americans,\u201d Crow said. \u201cAnd we\u2019re not against reform or repair, but you just don\u2019t go in there and trash it without a plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd, of course, you don\u2019t want to spend over $1 billion for a gilded ballroom, and&#8230; 20 million Americans are at risk of losing their healthcare,\u201d the congressman added. \u201cAt least, you know, most normal people don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2189\">Trump DOJ Nominee Humiliated as His Deleted Posts Are Exposed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Reached for comment, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told the Daily Beast: \u201cTrump Deranged Dumocrats and the glue-sniffers at the failing Daily Beast continued attempts to fabricate conflicts of interest are irresponsible and reinforce the public\u2019s distrust in what they read. President Trump only acts in the best interests of the American public\u2014which is why they overwhelmingly re-elected him to this office, despite years of lies and false accusations against him and his businesses. President Trump\u2019s assets are in a trust managed by his children. There are no conflicts of interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ingle, 32, is a communications graduate of Florida\u2019s Southeastern University, where his father, Kent Ingle, a Newsmax contributor, is president. The school boasts that the majority of its students attend online or through extension courses at 200 \u201cpartner sites,\u201d which do not have to be accredited.<\/p>\n<p>Asked by Coles how his Republican colleagues feel about Trump\u2019s antics in D.C., Crow said that they\u2019re certainly feeling the ramifications among their constituents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re getting beat up in their constituencies, and they should,\u201d the congressman replied. \u201cA whole bunch of them are gonna lose, and I\u2019m&#8230; actually making sure of that and doing a lot of work to send them home because they\u2019re&#8230; getting crushed by their constituents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany of them have stopped doing town halls and public events because they know they can\u2019t face their constituents anymore, because it\u2019s gotten so bad for them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Crow said that the Trump administration\u2019s handling of issues like healthcare and tariffs has left a bad taste in the mouths of many Americans, leading GOP lawmakers to avoid meeting with their electorates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe situation that they have designed for themselves, the bed that they have made that they now have to sleep in, is they have supported an administration that has done things that have&#8230; devastated their constituents,\u201d the congressman explained. \u201cAnd they\u2019ve done that just to placate Donald Trump and the MAGA base.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd now, they\u2019ve set up a situation where they\u2019re damned either way. And they should be,\u201d Crow asserted. \u201cSo we\u2019re gonna send those folks home&#8230; We\u2019re gonna beat them in the midterms and hopefully bring&#8230; a new generation of folks in to kind of reset things. That\u2019s my hope\u2014and get us past this dark phase.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><i><b>New episodes of The Daily Beast Podcast are released every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday on <\/b><\/i><i><b>YouTube<\/b><\/i><i><b>, and on <\/b><\/i><i><b>other podcast platforms<\/b><\/i><i><b> the next morning.
