      Even if people idiots accept that is true which I doubt, no one ever mentions the ongoing maintenance, staffing, etc… that we will be absorbing indefinitely.

        But let’s be real he probably pulled that money from child starvation funding, he’s a miser, he doesn’t part with money unless it’s a business failure of his own doing

    Given the heritage of the building matetials, I’m shocked they aren’t at least being carefully salvaged and reused. The wrecking ball / demolition approach is an apt metaphor for Trump as President in general.

      he wants a tacky , gaudy palace like putins, gold plating everywhere, diamonds encrusted chandeliers, and giant vases everywhere.

      One day, maybe it’ll be turned into a food pantry or international aid hq. It would be so gratifying to deny the legacy his narcissistic ass is trying to steal.

    Just a reminder that the construction plans haven’t been approved but the GOP is saying it’s a demolition not construction so it’s okay.

    The current administrations treatment of the White House is pretty symbolic for the entire presidency. I’d wager a bet, that either the redesign has to be torn down due to structural issues during the next term or never even gets built.

    I didn’t notice this before but…have they burst a pipe there? Or is it spray to prevent dust?

      Likely the latter, demolishing like that causes a lot of dust that can travel fast and far. Soon you’ll have the dark house, appropriately.

    i can’t find the words for how much i hate this selfish prick. I hate that he will be in history books. I hate that kids will have to learn about epstien and pedophiles in history class. i hate how he just slimes his way through everything and never gets held accountable.

      I want them to learn it. I want them to learn about Sally Hemmings too. America can’t get better until we shine a light on the ways it’s deplorable, and has been for a long time. The myths and rampant nationalism need to die.

      There was a very slim sliver of a chance had he lost the election. Hopefully, he’ll end up dying like Hitler.

        Hopefully he’ll end up dying much sooner and with much less devastation. Remember that Hitler died in a bunker after his military was ruined.
