Ohh do fuck off Bloomberg, his lodgings and surrounding building are fucking job perks! He is not renting, leasing and certainly doesn’t fucking own these buildings these are job perks! You telling us we can do what Trump just did on a property we don’t owe but are living there rent free?

It's a strategy known as "vandalizing a national monument during a narcissistic meltdown because 12 million Americans got together to call you a piece of shit over the weekend."

“The new White House State Ballroom will be “substantially separated” from the main portion of the White House, but will be designed in the same architectural style as the rest of the structure. It will be built off of the East Wing, which was first constructed in 1902.” Clark Const. Bethesda MD.

Destroying federal property especially without proper permits has to be a CRIME unless our laws and regulations are really just smoke screens! So we all should just ignore our constitutional and local laws! ⏳🏛🇺🇸

By demolishing the White House East Wing before seeking approval from federal agencies for a new ballroom for receiving bribes, President Donald Trump ignored that it was protected public property. It's a strategy known as "corruption."

It's known as breaking the law. There is no reason why he shouldn't go to prison with this, and the construction guys with him. Stop soft peddling all this stuff. There's a reason why I don't subscribe to you.

The only honest part here is the phrase “trump forced the issue” the rest is hackey rationalization He’s a cudgel, a blunt object. He has no nuance finesse or strategies. Seeing his barbarism as innovation is a perversion

He demolished it with bulldozers. That’s how he did it. It’s a strategy known as F U. No one can stop me. I’m above the law. SCOTUS told me so. And Congress clearly agrees since they cut off their balls and handed them to me.

Those guys with the ladder at the Louvre are probably going to make an offer on those jewels any day now; by taking them before seeking approval from Parisian agencies to buy them, they forced the issue. It's a strategy known as "stake-driving." FFS do you guys listen to yourselves?

That's nice that the particular kind of destructive, bullying tactics he's using to have his way while circumventing all traditional, socially, and morally responsible routes of approval to, well, destroy things without asking and have a solid gold party room. But uh. Just call him an entitled brat

In real life when regular non rich people do this, cities don’t always roll over. Permits can be used to force alterations. The ballroom isn't built yet. Fight back. Fight to reduce size, fight for matching to rest of buildings, fight for function and appearance. It is your people's house.
