The wave of modernist federal buildings in the United States built between the 1950s and 1970s represented meaningful policy making, accountability, transparency and a widening reach of federal agencies tasked with enforcing laws and regulations, all things which Trump avoids
No wonder he loves the idea of stamping Roman and Greek facades on buildings as certain other leaders of a political persuasion have - but what he really wants is to disrupt, corrupt and pollute these buildings’ inner workings and conceal this behind surface level appearances
Of course, it being Trump, there’s a profound personal hypocrisy here which is that he demolished a beautiful heritage asset in New York for the modernist Trump Tower and even had the murals dumped rather than saved.
