Anybody care to tell us non-americans what saying is referenced here?

I am guessing something like «everything is fine as long as the white house is intact»?

They're just saying that if you wrote a story where the bad guys who were tearing down democracy started literally tearing down the building that represents the government you would be a hack writer.

Great way of putting it! Made even more sense to me now

Most any other building this wouldn't be a thing, but the White House is recognized world-wide as a symbol of the US. It's on our currency, on many plaques, its silhouette is about as representative as the flag itself. Meaning tearing part of it down is a direct reflection of how he's ruining the country, and for the same reason - his ego.
