God did you say? God has nothing to do with the High Priest of BAAL or his Temple. Lord Poopy Pants has decreed the Temple of sin will be built even if he has to flatten the entire White House we built.
The very definition of insanity — a 2-acre, 1-room addition that is 63% larger than the entire White House. It will take half of the gold in Fort Knox to make it gaudy enough for the 79-year-old Babydon.
I find it interesting that the White House ballroom is reportedly going to be 90,000 sq ft. By comparison, the ballroom of Buckingham Palace (the largest room in the palace and used for state banquets) is only 35 by 18 m which is about 6,700 sq feet.
Yes, it's hideous, but also - what's the fucking point of it? What is its purpose? "A ballroom". He's going to hold balls? (Eeuw - that came out wrong.)
It is not going to be a ballroom. It is going to be strategic headquarters for his gang of thieves. Demand to see the actual blueprints and specifications.
Will just *one* reporter ask him HOW destroying the White House's East Wing—part of our historic WH complex he's supposed to preserve—for a ridiculously huge, gaudy BALLROOM that 99.99% of Americans will never even enter, benefits the citizens of the US in *any* way?
Truthfully, I don’t think his followers care. They insist the money for this is coming from his own pocket or donors. I’ve seen many refer to it as “repairs.”
(Pot - Kettle). And for this he's destroying part of the People's House. Demented. Perhaps he should look up Goldfinger and get covered all over in gold (not for long).
How can a fixed term President make changes this extensive to the White house on his own?
Aren’t there approvals from committees or other branches needed? It seems like any president could bulldoze and erect their own house every term.
As I've gathered, it appears to be completely illegally, needs congress approval, committee approval, national park service permission etc, none of which he had, also no permits & apparently no planning but he appears to be leaning heavily on "who's going to stop me".
I would think anyone that participates in an illegal activity could be arrested. But then if i had a nickel for every time the pundits said something was illegal and trump did it anyway, I would be rich.
This is an interesting update on above. It appears that the WH is actually exempt from historical building preservation laws and the above is more a courtesy that presidents follow. Except that current twat.
I suspect you'll find that "fixed term" probably falls into the same category as all the checks & balances he & his admin quickly blew through without impediment.
Yeah. bit who “owns” the White House”. Surely there must be rules? Could a citizen sue to stop it on behalf of the American people? Where are the dems?
The media? The outrage is like a fart in a mitten.
Oversight is on vacation—left town—after having packed up our legal and ethical defenses designed to prevent us from authoritarian rule.
Few are watching, fretting is the norm, distraction rules the day, and courage lies comatose.
I was told the Company doing the destruction is AceCo LLC from Silver Spring. Maybe we all can contact them & inform them how we feel, & remind them Trump may have immunity for destroying historic landmarks, but THEY don't.
It’s almost too late and that’s what trump counts on. But these companies and officials breaking the law must be held accountable.
He also said today this will cost $300 million. Times are tough and food banks are busy.
And he just oversaw the fastest $1 trillion addition to the debt in history
If you've ever been in a Trump branded building you know it's gunna be even shytier quality than it looks. This inevitable lemon is going to cost a fortune in constant begrudging maintenance.
It's going to be a "My HGTV house fell apart, now what?" episode.
The name of the firm that “designed” this fascist dancehall is McCrery Architects, Washington DC.
Hitler had his Albert Speer, and apparently the pedo-prez has his James McCrery. Well done sir. You’ll forever be remembered as architect to the pedo-fascist regime which destroyed the White House
Who needs SNAP, food stamps, or health insurance? We can all enjoy the fulfilling knowledge that Trump, the Tate brothers, Musk, Thiel, RFK Junior, and pardoned Ghislaine will fully enjoy more "wonderful secrets" in a stunning new space.
I hope our next Democratic president demolishes that eyesore the second they get in the White House—and restores the East Wing, the Oval and the Rose Garden while they’re at it. We don’t need any reminders of the embarrassing stain on our history that is Donald Trump
The only surprise about how the new addition is being added on is that it wasn't done in a different way. I would have expected trump to somehow have an 'accidental fire in the White House' that would have required starting from scratch on a new multiple-storied building to have as his new 'home'
He has no plan. No building specs. It'll be a gaping hole for the entire winter and into the spring. I think he'll croak before ever being able to show off his jerk off dance moves. Then America can use the space for the homeless, gardens for produce, and science labs.
That teeny stage, crowded with boxes of Top Secret documents; a copier machine in the bathroom with more boxes- clearly NO storage; the security room a long hallway away; clearly last remodeled in the 80s when the current owner took possession (and on the cheap)
“Bring on the wrecking ball, Larry!”
WHY WOULD AMERICANS WANT TO SEE YOUR TACKY GAWDY MUSTY SMELLY MAGOTLARDO 2.0 WHEN THEY ARE SUFFERING FROM YOU DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY???
FUCK YOU FELON RAPIST TRUMP - MAY YOU ROT IN HELL VERY VERY SOON.
AND NO WAY ARE YOU EVER GOING TO HEAVEN YOU DIRTY ASS SCUMBAG!!!
90,000 square feet! And ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS! What do you need a ballroom for that is almost TWICE the size of the White House itself?
This Toddler in Chief has the worst taste EVER in the history of humanity!
This is the worst week of our entire lives watching the white house be renovated. You know who else had buildings renovated? You guessed it, literally hitler.
The next Democratic President should demolish what he built and try to rebuild what was there. Of course, go about doing it the right way, unlike how this wanna be authoritarian president is destroying the PEOPLE'S East Wing of the White House.
Weak men have to build big buildings to feel strong and powerful. This looks like the ballroom at the Kremlin, which surprises me zero but yeah, pitiful loser men always want big houses, trucks, boats anything to make up for their small penises.
