The metaphorical wrecking ball analogy takes a physical form.

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

They will tear out the patio and tear down the ballroom? I'll take that bet

He's doing it so he can show it off & brag to wprld leader's, wine & dine his pals & play grabass with his super wealthy cronies who pay him off.

The flock only likes it because the people they hate don't like it.

 

[Frankenstein]

When Mr. Trump first announced his plans for the ballroom, he pledged that the White House would not be touched by the construction.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it,” he said in July. “And pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of.”

I'm not suggesting it is at all unusual for him to lie. Far from it. Lies are his stock and trade. The motivation for this particular lie being obvious. Admitting he was going to have the East wing of a historic building that belongs to the country demolished, not Dotard, would have been met with tremendous resistance.

Read post 160 and get back to me, on second hand don't, it will just be more whining

 

[Jroc]

Thanks for proving my point that the East Wing has historical significance, you damn idiot.

Just depends on your opinion of historical dumbass ...to you is anything Trump is tearing down is historical

DC Oligarchs rule. We are peasants who are allowed to pay the bills.

The White House does not belong to Donald Trump, as you assert.

It is the people’s house. Not the wannbe king.

It was meant to stand in co trust to the Imperial palaces of Europe, not become one.

wannabe king ?
Either we have a King or we don't.
This is like 4th grade material,
The definition of constitution is missed, the congress, the Supreme Court
Stuff like that.
Jie Biden the profession Senator since birth, didn't know the difference between articl 1 & 2

again this should be basic knowledge, even
for a lifetime senator.

The heritage embodied in classical design and a federalist aesthetic is certainly worth restoring as are democratic values.

Moron caps are a fashion statement that is destined for oblivion, as well.

 

[Concerned American]

In the first place the Trump has zero authority to demo any part of the White House.

Please link to your source for this claim.

The question becomes what has Trump promised them in return?

Please link to your source that he has promised anyone anything.

Trump did not submit any permits nor did he request any.

Please link to your source that proves this statement. Did you have a problem with Obama spending $306M taxpayer $$$ for his renovations to the WH? More unhinged democrat hypocrisy.

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.

This ^^^ is off topic and just another unhinged accusation with no foundation. IOW, you howling at the moon AGAIN.

I don't do Tuxes anyway.

 

[Edgetho]

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.

Yer a ******* idiot.

Where was the outrage when the left was tearing down statues of historical figures and replacing them with George Floyd statues?

As trump pointed out, serving official state dinners to world leaders in a tent is not a great look for America

That be

What if trump decided to replace Lincoln's bust with his at the Lincoln Memorial? Still okay as long as it was privately funded? Is there any line he can cross that goes too far for you?

Your Murder Cult wants to erase Lincoln's freeing of slaves.

Democrats demand removal of Lincoln Emancipation Memorial in DC

House Democrats proposed legislation to remove the Emancipation Memorial from Lincoln Park in Washington, D.C., which they said portrays a racially insensitive image.
