The Trump administration is now considering a draft executive order, “Making Federal Buildings Beautiful Again,” that would direct the use of traditional or classical architectural styles for nearly all new federal buildings and renovations . . . The order would take aim at various forms of modernism and seeks to undo the widely admired Design Excellence Program of the General Service Administration . . . The program’s director, David Insinga, resigned last week . . .

Stretching forth his godlike hand,
Trump proclaims his great command:
When you build a Fed eyesore
build it like a big box store.
Make it broad and make it crass,
and don't skimp on the plexiglass!
It must twinkle in the night,
and use a lot of Samsonite.
Keep it strong and raise it tall --
just like my dreamy Border Wall!
