Trump Reportedly Arguing With Ballroom Architect, Who Warns It Will Dwarf the White House

[Crepitus]

So, I'm not a real-estate developer, but isn't it customary to have a plan in hand before you tear down the existing structure?

Don't you guys think that would make sense?

The fact that there isn't one yet makes the demolition look suspiciously rushed.

What could have been the reason for the haste?

#ball-anon strikes again.

I don't blindly trust the media for accurate reporting, but a ready-shoot-aim approach from this administration wouldn't surprise me. From the whitehouse.gov site:

I can see the point.

No, no one does a major project with no plan.

That is a Trump hallmark, though.

no one demolishes a large building without a demolition plan, and an asbestos remediation plan, including tenting the site, a remediation plan and a hazardous waste disposal plan. (dumping building material waste into the Potomac River to expand a golf course is not a plan.

It was obvious from the start that there was no clear plan for the ballroom. AI generated drawings were substituted for real plans. The drawings didn’t match one another. The gigantic size numbers didn’t either.

I fully expect that the East Wing site will be an empty wasteland when Trump exits.

As with most things Trump, arrogance and mismanagement are key elements.

This fairy tale is one of the least believeable unsources stories about Trump and that says a lot.

The reason for the haste is obvious. Why give a bunch of lawyers time to file injunctions under the famous "no ballrooms at the white house" clause of the Constitution that they will easily be able to get some Biden or Obama appointee to hallucinate.

The East Wing was not a large structure. That being said, I don't think it'd be a good idea to dwarf the WH, but obviously there needs to be some accommodation better than pitched tents.

Yes plan first, seek approval, Don't waste our money.

Nobody cares.

Plan Ahead

The hell of it was that Fairfax County. Virginia initially approved it!

 

[Crepitus]

Nobody cares.

YOu don't, because you aren't very bright.

Many people do though.

Fairy tale?

What fairy tale?

If you believe that it is a fairy tale, you can produce the actual plans, produce any review or permitting, any demolition or remediation plans.

Ypu won’t, of course. Because you can’t.

No, I don't care because it's just your opinion, not fact.
I think the new wing of the White House will be big and beautiful!

 

[Meister]

All this hoopla from Crepitis? It's a ******* ballroom, you moron.
Who really cares other than the left wing whackos (Crepitis).
Crep would ***** if Trump put on his left shoe before his right shoe.

What opinion did I state, Son?

 

[1srelluc]

I'm sure the vile dems, if they ever see the inside of the WH again will use the ballroom. They like free shit.

Trolling by an unfit, unwell president.

In an addition almost twice the size of the existing White House, there is concern that the addition will overwhelm existing structures.

White House ballroom architect to stay despite argument with Trump

James McCrery II, who was brought on board by Trump to serve as the lead architect, reportedly expressed concern it could 'dwarf' the White House.

Architect James McCrery II, who was brought on board by Trump to serve as the lead architect with a splashy announcement and renderings of the gilded and cavernous ballroom in July “counseled restraint over concerns” that it could "dwarf" the 55,000-square-foot executive mansion, The Washington Post reported.
