[WaPo] Trump plans $200M overhaul of East Wing in significant change to White House

As someone who works in building design and construction, the probability is 100%.

That said, Trump is notorious for not paying his architects and contractors, so maybe it will be “free”

 

While it may not go to the Architects and contractors. . . .. that half a billion will definitely go somewhere / someone

Where have you gone Pierre L'Enfant? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

But hey, at least we get some disproportionate ostentatious edifices built with bribe money and subject to no oversight out of the deal. Anything to keep him busy while the staff goes about dismantling the plane in mid-flight.

 

You'd rather have foreign dignitaries be entertained in temporary tents and use porta-potties? This beautiful ballroom will create decades of first class entertainment for Americans and their guests. And NO TAXPAYER MONEY is being spent on it. Designing beautiful spaces and clubs is Trump's strength -- let him cook.

Even the Washington Post (who hates Trump) came out in favor of this ballroom. This position puts you to the left of them. (wow)


GOOD DAY
