Too Much and Never Enough: on Education

Declared art deco wall "without artistic merit"

The Trump Towers opened with a great fanfare in 1983. From his reportedly unfair treatment of undocumented workers who built it, to the alleged mob involvement, the project was steeped in controversy. The affronts culminated in the destruction of the beautiful Art Deco limestone reliefs on the facade of the Bonwit Teller Building, which he razed to make room for his. Donald had promised those historically significant artifacts to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Realizing that moving them all in one piece would cost money, and slow down construction, he instead ordered that they be destroyed. When confronted with that breach of taste, he shrugged it off, declaring the sculptures to be "without artistic merit," as if he knew better than the assessment of experts. Over time, that attitude that he knew better became entrenched: as his knowledge base had decreased, his claims to knowing everything increased to his direct proportion of insecurity, which is where we are now.
