@realDonaldTrump

The National Trust for Historic Preservation sues me for a Ballroom that is under budget, ahead of schedule, being built at no cost to the Taxpayer, and will be the finest Building of its kind anywhere in the World. I then get sued by them over the renovation of the dilapidated and structurally unsound former Kennedy Center, now, The Trump Kennedy Center (A show of Bipartisan Unity, a Republican and Democrat President!), where all I am doing is fixing, cleaning, running, and “sprucing up” a terribly maintained, for many years, Building, but a Building of potentially great importance.

Yet, The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a Radical Left Group of Lunatics whose funding was stopped by Congress in 2005, is not suing the Federal Reserve for a Building which has been decimated and destroyed, inside and out, by an incompetent and possibly corrupt Fed Chairman.

The once magnificent Building is BILLIONS over budget, may never be completed, and may never open. All of the beautiful walls inside have been ripped down, never to be built again, but the National “Trust” for Historic Preservation never did anything about it! Or, have they sued on Governor Gavin Newscum’s “RAILROAD TO NOWHERE” in California that is BILLIONS over Budget and, probably, will never open or be used. So, the White House Ballroom, and The Trump Kennedy Center, which are under budget, ahead of schedule, and will be among the most magnificent Buildings of their kind anywhere in the World, gets sued by a group that was cut off by Government years ago, but all of the many DISASTERS in our Country are left alone to die. Doesn’t make much sense, does it? President DONALD J. TRUMP

Dear President Trump,

The difference is that CONGRESS writes the laws and is responsibile for funding major changes.

Something they did with the FED Buildings which then proceeded through all the proper clearances and procedures.

Your vanity project did not.

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

www.salon.com

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.

He was actually very good at building it back, and it would have been better.

While I am sick and tired of mere judges constantly telling this President what they won’t permit, n this particular case, I wonder if maybe the judge was right.

I’m a fan of President Trump, but still it’s true that the Legislative Branch has the power of the purse, not the Executive Branch. And like that particular judge, I also don’t see what legislative grant of authority was given to the temporary incumbent to either take down that ballroom or to direct the construction of its replacement.

Ope! A judge just halted the construction.

You can sense that when the shit hits the fan, judges and their families will be terminated for the new ones they enabled.

The judge:

The President is a steward of the White House, not the owner.

(Something Trump will not understand)

/-----/ "Something they did with the FED Buildings which then proceeded through all the proper clearances and procedures."
Yeah, great job, over budget and costing taxpayers $2.5 billion (most likely will increase even more).

The Federal Reserve headquarters renovation is over budget, rising from an initial $1.9 billion estimate to $2.5 billion.
The renovation of the Marriner S. Eccles Building and the 1951 Constitution Avenue Building in Washington, D.C., was originally projected at $1.9 billion when approved in 2017, but costs have since escalated to $2.5 billion. This increase has drawn criticism from political figures, including former President Donald Trump and his allies, who have labeled the project as excessive and ostentatious.

The judge gave 14-days for Trump to respond. So construction continues...

Hey stupid, that’s for spending tax dollars.

This isn’t spending tax dollars.

Funny how the party of free shit hates free shit when Trump provides it.

So I can just walk into the White House with non-tax payer funding and spray paint the shit out of it?

Dumb analogy.

67 pages of leftists whining about a ballroom. If that’s not a perfect example of TDS I don’t know what is.

What do the morons think America should do now, leave an unfinished ballroom idle until democrats can resteal the power to come in and trash the whole thing?

Ballroom built
Ballroom not built

I see not impact on the planet or the trajectory of mankind.

Hey stupid, who is going to be paying for maintenace of the eyesore when it's done.

But that's fine, the next President can convert it to a more usable space later.

Funny how the party of free shit hates free shit when Trump provides it.

Trump taking bribes for influence has a cost.

BTW - I'm an anti-Trump Republican, not a DEM.

The president can walk into anything the people own and deface it? Spray paint it, burn it down, as long as he doenst use tax money for the match or paint? Nope. That was our building. Not his.
