Trump Ballroom Unlikely To Be Built

[WorldWatcher]

/—-/ President Vance will never tear it down, and God forbid a democRAT wins he will not only keep the ballroom and use it often, he’ll find a way to take credit for building it. And you’ll applaud him.

Why would I applaud?

I'm an anti-Trumper Republican. Trump was the biggest mistake my party ever made.

I grew up in New York, I tried to warn y'all all the way back in 2015. But did y'all listen? Nope.

/----/ Warn us about what? I've lived on Long Island since 1972 and worked in Manhattan daily for nearly 30 years. DJT was the toast of the town until he had the audacity to run against Hildabeast.

Then you know Trump was and still is a scum bag and yet you still voted for him.

You reap what you sow.

Frankly, I can't think of a better metaphor for the whole Trump Regime. They are very good at tearing things down, but they suck at actually building anything.

The White House ballroom will never be built

Trump can't focus long enough, even on his $400 million passion project

In October, Donald Trump traumatized all true patriots by tearing down the East Wing of the White House. The move, he claims, will clear the way for a ballroom for holding large events that are typically held in tents on the South Lawn. A debate immediately arose online over whether or not the next Democratic president should tear down the ballroom or keep it, albeit with the necessary extensive renovations to remove all the tackiness Trump brings to any project.

Two months later, it increasingly seems that such discussion was a wasted effort, as the chance this ballroom will actually be built is rapidly disappearing. Perhaps it could have if Trump had delegated the management of the project to someone competent, but that’s not what he did. Instead, the famously lazy and disorganized president decided to blow off his actual governance duties in favor of micromanaging a construction project he is incapable of handling. Finishing the ballroom in the next three years would be difficult for anyone, but it’s quickly becoming clear it will be nearly impossible for the famed real estate tycoon to pull it off.

For anyone who has dealt with any renovation project more complex than patching drywall, the ballroom’s construction is waving every red flag possible, signaling endless delays that will stretch for months — and, in all likelihood, for years. Despite announcing plans for the ballroom in July, it’s clear there’s no idea what it’s going to look like, how big it will be or how it will be laid out. Trump keeps changing things, driven by a short-sighted impulsiveness that keeps pushing him to expand the scope of the project. Initially, it was supposed to seat 650 people in 90,000 square feet, but he kept throwing tantrums about how he wanted it bigger. Earlier this month, he even ran off the initial architect, and odds are that will happen again.

Then there’s the red tape. Even though a judge ruled against the National Trust for Historic Preservation in their lawsuit to temporarily halt construction, he required the White House to avoid building anything foundational and demanded plans for the structure be submitted by the end of the year. But as the White House hasn’t even scheduled meetings with the National Capital Planning Commission to start the process, meeting that deadline appears unlikely.

The front stairs are an "architectural feature". How it that a"design flaw"? It's a "decoration".

Staircases to nowhere are not an architectural feature. They're a mistaken design.

Trump has shown a President can just tear down what he wants

Presidents have always had great leeway with modifications to the WH.
Congress would only be involved if funding needed to be appropriated.

And once Trump is out of office, his usefulness to the billionaires will be at an end. Good luck raising the money for that.
