Don't Worry America Will Survive the Rebuilding Of the East Wing!

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

What part of PRIVATE and CORPORATE DONATIONS do you Trump hating bozos not understand?

Ah, bullshit. You believe no taxpayer dollars will fund this debacle?

Don't hurt yourself backpeddling, Stumbleweed! So now you admit it is privately and MIGHT be partially funded with tax money? LOL wrong the donors list is full of deep pockets and corporations happy to add their names to the exquisite new ballroom.

President Trump demolishing and rebuilding the east wing of the White House isn't a catastrophe in my eyes contrary to what many Americans think. It would have been much better if he just extended the current east wing south to make room for the thousand person ballroom he believes the nation needs because that would have preserved our nation's history embodied in the current east wing. But that is President Donald Trump he doesn't see the President's role as a steward of America's riches and history and should be careful about only trying to improve things and always show a high degree of care to try not to destroy good things; elections have consequences and this is what the American people chose so we will have to bear it for three more years until President Trump's second term ends! I don't see one major public criticism of the new east wing that it will dwarf the White House itself; the fact that the new east wing's layout will be dramatically larger than the current east wing doesn't mean it dwarfs the White House as long as the height of the new east wing is what it has been purported to be which is about the same height of the current White House. I do buy into the view that the design competes too much with the White House and is in danger of drawing away the majesty and greatness of the White House; to alleviate this problem I would do the following get rid of the Arc windows floor to ceiling go with standard rectangular windows that start three to four feet from the floor and end three to four feet from the ceiling, on the balcony don't hold it up with so many columns hold it up with the same design that holds up the back patio to the White House a wall with arched carve out (all these columns make the new east wing too decorative of a building) and I would get rid of the stylish staircase on the south side of the new east wing again it makes the new building too decorative. The White House is a humble building these changes to the new east wing design would go a long way to conforming the new design to a similar humble building. I don't care about the inside of the new east wing future Presidents can make it more humble or make it more palatial as they see fit! The one thing that I would do is try to hide the east wing construction site it is too gut wrenching watching what is going on there; maybe just install three story poles that could hold up a tarp like fabric that could block the view of the worksite!


On a completely different subject I am really surprised that the media isn't referencing the five hundred pound gorilla in the room over the matter that President Trump wants the Department of Justice to pay him $230 million essentially his legal costs for all the investigations and prosecutions the DOJ put him through over the past nine years. The media should be calling him out for the fact that Donald Trump himself did not pay his legal costs he got most of that money from his campaign account and funding from the Republican Party and solicitations from the public to help him pay his legal costs. On these grounds Donald Trump should not see any reimbursement from the DOJ here. Even on the issue of reimbursements the Trump administration should leave it to the next Presidential administration to resolve this issue because there is way too much of a conflict of an interest here because the people that would currently be making the decision are people President Trump could directly or indirectly have fired so the America public can have no confidence that fairness is being upheld here!

Paragraphs are real! Walls of text are not easy to read!

What part of PRIVATE and CORPORATE DONATIONS do you Trump hating bozos not understand?

The part where we don't really beleive it, given how many lies Cheeto Hitler has already told.

The Taxpayers are going to get stuck on this, big time, once the overruns outpace the paltry donations that his bunch will have pocketed half of.

Once a grifter, always a grifter.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

NOPE, because doing a godaddy.com search is more effective.....you ******* moron.

Then who wrote it?

 

[Eman623]

He didn't put in a backetball court, idiot. He reconfigured a tennis court so that both sports could be played on the same surface.

You can take your head out of your own ass now.

You know, many decaf brands taste just as good as the regular.

Hate is a drug.

Trump Haters bleev whatever their Democrat Masters feed them through their Propaganda Wing formally known as US Media.

Yeah! Who cares! It's just taxpayer dollars!

**** this guy.

Its not tax payer dollars though.

The OP is an intellectually dishonest rhetorical device known as reductio ad absurdum. It's used by both ends of the political spectrum. The goal is to reduce a much larger and more important issue to one small issue that is (relatively) easily dismissed.

Americans across the political spectrum -- not just Democrats, as we all know -- are looking at the totality of what this person in the White House is doing, and this destruction of part of the White House itself is just another drop in the hurricane. It's added to the constant lies, non-stop pugilism, threats, insults, intimidation, grift, corruption and dismissal of any number of normal rules, laws and decency that has made an ugly mockery of both the office of the President and the United States.

In a vacuum, by itself, the destruction of the White House bothers many across the political spectrum. But the bigger picture is much, much more troubling.

Um, no, we've just watched this guy over the last 40 years in one grift after another. From his bankrupt casinos to his failed airline to his selling cheap gold watches for $6000.00.

Yesterday he pardoned a major league Crypto-Grifter. But nothing to see here.

The legislation of the Progressives the first two years of Joe was trillions and trillions of dollars. Grifting to the max.

You're FOS.

The $$$ was allocated and approved by congress in 2008.

Obama wasn't president yet.

The construction took place over 4 years, replacing electric, plumbing and underground lines.

...to his successful trump.org and his successful presidencies, confounding democrats at every turn. Democrats who have no successful people or policies, who have approval ratings less than half of Trump's.
The crypto guy pardoned didn't commit any crime, got a 4-mo sentence for a ticky-tack offense.

Nice AI bullshit. Did you tell it to write that?

I don't even remember the basketball court being a story. I certainly don't remember anyone whining about how he's "destroying the White House!" I do remember his NCAA brackets, which I also thought irrelevant.

Meanwhile the MSM is leading with the Trump WH construction story! They think it's just that important.

Nice try though. Your whataboutery has been noted and dismissed.

Yep.

4 billion dollars in scamming is a ticky-tack offense to you guys?

Trump pardons convicted founder of crypto exchange Binance

Changpeng Zhao served a four-month prison sentence, which ended in September 2024.

www.nbcnews.com

In November 2023, the Justice Department called the agreement with Binance and Zhao a "coordinated" action by the Treasury, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. “Binance became the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange in part because of the crimes it committed — now it is paying one of the largest corporate penalties in U.S. history,” then-Attorney General Merrick Garland said in 2023.

Then-Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also said the company's "willful failures allowed money to flow to terrorists, cybercriminals, and child abusers through its platform."

Binance wrote in a blog post at the time that it "takes responsibility for this past chapter."

Binance did not scam $4b. Binance did not track crypto transactions. How serious was a 4-month sentence anyway?
Karoline Levett explains it this way:
"President Trump exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden Administration in their war on cryptocurrency," Leavitt said. "In their desire to punish the cryptocurrency industry, the Biden Administration pursued Mr. Zhao despite no allegations of fraud or identifiable victims."
