The metaphorical wrecking ball analogy takes a physical form.

I prefer that a qualified body such as the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a nonprofit created by Congress to help preserve historic buildings in the public interest, advise regarding the preservation of historic buildings in the public interest, but I also respect expertise in science, medicine, and academia over that of statist politicians who seek to dictate in their respective disciplines.

Those who seek to submit to authoritarianism differ, of course.

The purpose of the Trust to to save historic buildings from being torn down and lost forever. THat is not happening at the White House.

Looks like King Trump has researched the subject quite well.

Under a nearly-60-year-old law, the White House and several other notable buildings are exempt from a key historic preservation rule - though one expert told the BBC that presidents typically follow it anyway.
__________
Under a law known as National Historic Preservation Act, federal agencies are required to examine the impact of any construction projects on historic properties. Specifically, Section 106 requires the agencies to undergo a review process, including getting input from the public.
____________
According to Section 107 of the act, three buildings and their grounds are exempt from the Section 106 review process: the White House, the US Capitol and the US Supreme Court building.

The decades-old exemption that lets Trump reconstruct the White House

The White House and several other buildings are exempt from the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.

Where were your death thrawls when Obama spent 376 million in renovations?

Not a big fan of Trump putting a McD's in the ballroom.

This is what you worry about wh e n you wake up? A McDonalds in a ballroom at the WH? WTH? What is wrong with you sick Anti-Anerican pigs?

Like I said, your Dear Leader is ******* up and the midterms are coming.

Just stand back, and stand by!

You and JakeStarkeyvhave been posting everyday since 2015.

"TRUMP can't win". "He won't win the prinary". "He's going to Jail for the rest of his life" on and on. #BlackJakeStarkeyMuch?

The qualified, designated body assessing the structure's historical significance and aesthetic considerations is entirely proper. As is the contextual impropriety of diminishing the White House with a proximate big room that is seldom used.

In the first place the Trump has zero authority to demo any part of the White House. This is not his property. Yet as always corp america will entertain this yoyo with their money. The question becomes what has Trump promised them in return? Why do these corporate CEO's and others think Trump can do this? At All? Trump did not submit any permits nor did he request any.


How dumb and irresponsible can the corporate white collar get?

The donations may go up in smoke as TRUMP does not pay his debts so Trump will in effect steal more money.

As for his request for $213 billion tax dollars that he believes he deserves is about half of what the the big jet costs so he needs another $200 Billion in tax dollars. He sure as hell won't pay.

 

[1srelluc]

Damn, you vile dems are really left with nothing aren't ya.

 

[leftwinger]

The first to lie and promise the new construction wouldn't touch existing structure, and then tear down the entire side of the building?

Too bad commeee puke. Plans change. Not your business.

 

[ChristisKing]

Yeah, Trump gives a puny portion of his salary while his family is pocketing billions from his monetization of the presidency and Trump himself is on the verge of a 1/4 billion dollar payday curtesy of the US taxpayer.

LOL where do you people get this stuff? I always thought that I had a big imagination but I just cannot compete!

Trump's cult are SOOOOOOOOOO..........gullible.

Riiiiggghhhttt,... Look at the post above
that I just quoted and responded to.

It is the people’s house.

And the people don't care so deal with it!!

The ludicrous notion that an authoritarian with no qualifications in historic preservation should dictate, with no input from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the nonprofit created by Congress to help preserve historic buildings in the public interest, is the dogma of a cult.

 

[Frankenstein]

To reiterate, it is not his WH to do with as he pleases. Garishly adorning the Oval with gold ornaments is one thing. Illegally tearing down part of the building is another.

You just need something to whine about

Prediction: in the not too distant future an administration will restore the White House back to the way it was........rose garden and all.

If the East wing was being torn down and not rebuilt, you would have a point. Your harping about the Trust is nothing more than the whining of a TDS cultist.
