They’ll file a lawsuit after it’s demolished and find out in 4-6 years the statue shouldn’t have been demolished.
The admin will say it was a matter of national interest to be demolished, supreme court will give them a double thumbs up, and well - what could have been done.
Im surprised we didn’t just wake up to the news it was scrapped for the copper overnight and the money is going to a hotel he plans to build in its place.
Trump is exploiting all of the “except for an emergency” language in our laws. He just claims everything is an emergency no matter how stupid it is. The courts, in their extremely limited wisdom, long ago decided that there was no way for them to determine what a valid emergency was and just defers to the executive.

I can kind of see the reasoning behind this. If there is a genuine emergency, you don’t want to waste time in the courts. Urgency matters.
To make an absurd metaphor, imagine if you called 911 because your house was on fire. You call, and tell the operator. And then instead of immediately dispatching a fire crew to handle it, the operator goes “okay, we’ll send a judge over to take a look and determine if this is a legitimate emergency. They’ll be there in about 30 minutes. Maybe an hour, because the courts are pretty busy right now. If the judge determines it is an emergency, we’ll dispatch the fire truck.”

It’s obvious the money would go to cover a gold plated statue of himself giving a double thumbs up.
The plaque will be replaced with:
“Give me your whites, your rich, your business class looking to exploit the poor”
This of course assumes there’d be anything so poetic inscribed. More likely it would read:
“Poor? Desperate? Foreign? Turn back now or be shot on sight”
And kid Rock is in charge of the scrap copper removal.

You forgot that Trump will pre-emptively pardon himself and everyone involved, and so nobody will ever be held accountable or face any consequences.
