The White House is one of the nation's most important buildings. Built by slaves, burned and rebuilt, redone and redecorated over more than 200 years, it's home not just to the First Family but to valuable artwork, sculptures, antiques, and more.
In contrast with her predecessors, Jacqueline Kennedy recognized the Executive Mansion's significance and immediately set to work with the newly founded White House Historical Association to make it a "living museum" that Americans could treasure and visit with pride. "She made the White House a museum of American history and decorative art as well as a charming family residence," the Association says.
Which is one of the many reasons we're worried — maybe now more than ever before — about Benedict Donald and his Traitor Tots having the run of the place. As Michael Cohen told The Daily Beast, "I am certain that Donald Trump is psychotic right now. Donald Trump would rather burn down the White House than turn over the keys."
Would he literally burn it? Cohen was speaking metaphorically (we hope). But after what his storm troopers did to the Capitol, it's probably not beyond the pale to be worried about 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Moose & Squirrel has already destroyed the Rose Garden, after all. And with Trump at Camp David, all those tired jokes about changing the locks suddenly seem fresh. We cats HISS.
