One of the lesser-noted things Trump did as President that always struck me as strange was, in December 2020, declare Classical Greco-Roman architecture to be the official architectural style of the US government and condemn modernist or brutalist buildings in DC
This was a thing in Nazi architecture. The idea was that the buildings would continue to convey the aesthetic value of Reich for thousands of years.
Speer: Hitler liked to say that the purpose of his building was to transmit his time and its spirit to posterity.

Although Greco-Roman has a big feel to it, I prefer Moderne - both Art Deco and Streamlined. Brutalist is an assault on the eyes. Like looking at a line drawing done by an emotionless person.
