Trump Ballroom Unlikely To Be Built

[WorldWatcher]

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.

Oh, and BTW...

40 U.S. Code § 8106 - Buildings on reservations, parks, or public grounds

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.

/----/ Folks, this is an example of what happens when a libtard loses a debate. They are reduced to ridiculous straw man arguments, trying to drag you down into a rabbit hole.

Definition and Mechanism
A straw man argument occurs when a person refutes a distorted, exaggerated, or oversimplified version of an argument rather than addressing the original claim directly. The term comes from the metaphor of a straw man or scarecrow, which is a fake figure that can be easily knocked down, symbolizing the weak version of the argument being attacked. The typical process involves three stages: first, person A presents a position; second, person B constructs a distorted version of that position; third, person B attacks this misrepresented version, claiming to have refuted the original argument.

You have no response. Trump doesnt own that, the people do. He cant tear down a building, burn down a building, spray paint museum art that is in his stewardship. Only the people cant do that. There is nothing in the constitution that gives him that power which is why the judge said stop. You cant defend that shit so you just whine your little pathetic ass off. Post something useful for one time in your life. Just once. not an insult but something that is fact based and interesting. I doubt you can muster it. (Watch cellblock go silent or simply insult me).

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.

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

You mean like an abortion clinic or a room to hold communist rallies? Maybe a dormitory for illegals...

 

[JoeB131]

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?

yes.

I think that ANYTHING to do with Trump needs to be eradicated in a Damnatio Memoriae when he's gone.

Kind of like when the Ancient Romans tried to erase really shitty Emperors after they were deposed.

Nope. Read the LAW

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.

www.bbc.com

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.

That is Title 54 of the United States Code. And it does not exempt them from Congressional action.

I posted Title 40 of the United States Code which still requires Congressional action.

Your reply means absolutely nothing. This post is about the ballroom and how it is being paid for and by whom.

/----/ The White House has been remodeled since day one.
the "President’s House" has never truly been a finished project. It is a living artifact that has been burned, gutted, expanded, and reinforced to keep pace with the evolving needs of the American presidency.

The history of the White House is generally defined by four major milestones, with a series of modern personalizations following them.

I. The Founding & Rebuilding (1792–1830)​

The original structure was a neoclassical design by James Hoban, though it took nearly a decade to become habitable.

• 1792: Construction begins; the cornerstone is laid.
• 1800: John Adams becomes the first president to move into the unfinished house.
• 1814: During the War of 1812, British forces set fire to the mansion, leaving only the exterior stone walls standing.
• 1817: Rebuilding is completed under Hoban’s supervision; James Monroe moves back in.
• 1824 & 1829: The iconic South and North Porticos are added, completing the residence's famous silhouette.

II.​

By the 20th century, the White House was overcrowded, serving as both a family home and a bustling office.

• 1902: Theodore Roosevelt commissions a massive renovation. He moves the president’s offices out of the family quarters and into a "temporary" structure: the West Wing.
• 1909: William Howard Taft expands the West Wing and oversees the construction of the first Oval Office.
• 1927: Calvin Coolidge adds a full third floor and a new roof.
• 1934: FDR relocates the Oval Office to its current corner location for better light and privacy, and adds a second story to the West Wing.
• 1942: The East Wing is built, originally designed to conceal an underground bunker during WWII and provide more office space.

III.​

By 1948, the building was literally falling apart; a leg of a piano even crashed through the floor of the family quarters.

• 1948–1952: The Truman Reconstruction begins. The entire interior is gutted, leaving only the exterior stone shell. A new steel frame and a two-story basement are installed, essentially building a modern house inside an 18th-century shell.

IV. Modern Personalizations & Expansions (1960–Present)​

Recent decades have focused on lifestyle additions and technological updates.

• 1969–1970: Richard Nixon converts the indoor swimming pool into the Press Briefing Room.
• 1975: Gerald Ford installs an outdoor swimming pool, funded by private donations.
• 2009: Barack Obama adapts the tennis court for basketball and establishes the White House Kitchen Garden.
• 2020: Donald Trump completes a new tennis pavilion.
• 2025–2026: In a significant structural shift, the East Wing was demolished to make way for a new, $400 million privately funded White House Ballroom, scheduled for completion in 2028.

Of course it does. You clowns are making it seem like the WH has never been remodeled since it was built. It's being paid by donations.

I'm way outside my lane here, but on TV one legal expert said that whoever sued the president doesn't have standing.
Since Republicans control the House it should be simple to pass something that gives Trump authority to build his ballroom.
The judge didn't reference your law, he said Trump doesn't own the WH. He's making stuff up.

I don’t think anyone has said he didn’t have standing. A very specific legal term. What’s being challenged is forest he have authority to tear down portions of the White HouseHouse to build a new structure without Congress.

House? Sure. Senate? Not as likely.

Actually if you read the decision he did.

On my phone or if would look it up for you.

So dipshit is just repeating the claims that just got laughed out of court.

 

[boilermaker55]

Typical stupid reply because it is not about the work being done but HOW it was "authorized" how and when to do the work.
FOOL!.

Those aren't strawman arguments. Trump literally destroyed the West Wing.

Think. Then post. In that order.

 

[Mr Natural]

They should leave it just the way it is as a reminder of the Trump years.

 

[boilermaker55]

The trouble with the "magarats" is they try to shift the narrative, it is not about the work being done it was how it was requisitioned.
But then "faux" news has the cult captured along with, P01135809, their leader, the 34 time convicted felon , sex offender, adulterer/liar

Those aren't strawman arguments. Trump literally destroyed the West Wing.

Think. Then post. In that order.

 

[Nostra]

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

Sure, give it a try, Moron.

So……you whine and cry because a President is adding to the WH at no cost to taxpayers, and then say the next President can tear it down at the expense of taxpayers.


‘Folks. This is the level of stupid we are dealing with.

/------/ This from #1334 is a straw man argument. "So I can just walk into the White House with non-tax payer funding and spray paint the shit out of it?"

We're talking about a sitting president, not you walking in and spray painting a wall.
