Only Abraham Lincoln is a better President.

I think it will be for a different purpose.

We'll find out.

This all comes down to Trump being a petty, jealous little man.

He goes to North Korea and China and gets jealous of their digs.

Same reason he is illegally deploying the Guard to DC.

I'm not going to read the basic material of the topic to you. You are a grown man, stop begging strangers to inform you.

Just acknowledge your pointless whining is about matters you know nothing of.

 

[jknowgood]

And you will reflexively attack people criticizing your pet rapist charity thief, per your programming.

You loons amuse me, on really how stupid you are.

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

It's layout reminds me of a Fiddler Crab, that funky crab with the big claw on one side, which is native to swampy areas along the U.S. eastern seaboard. So it fits very naturally into the D.C. environment.

I wonder if that was on purpose?

You loons amuse me, on really how stupid you are.

Right on cue... grab those ankles for Daddy and tell him how special his special ballroom is.

The one you will end up paying for.

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?

MSN

"the people said"

Hell, if "the people said" it, it has to be true.

A new equivalent of the West Wing, for government function, leaving the old White House for living quarters.

One moment you don't know, then all a sudden you do.youre a good ignorant liberal.

What does deploying the guard to DC have to do with North Korea and China?

Maybe fully emerge from your coma before posting these nonsensical tirades.

I am discussing the thread title, the reading material, the released images, etc.

If you want to claim they are all bullshit, go right ahead. You don't have to beg a stranger for attention to make a big boy point all by your big boy self.

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.

Look like everyone but Trump and his cult see what an aberration this is. Even the architect.

But I have to admit, after the White House was rebuilt, after the War of 1812 when the British burned down the first "White House",... The "West Wing" did not exist until Theodore Roosevelt remodeled it, and,.... Added the West Wing. And apparently, several more Administrations such as Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, & Jimmy Carter, either remodeled, or added to the White House in various ways.

You invalidated your own thread. The Trump Ballroom hysteria is more trigger bait that you Trump Haters swallowed whole. Happy Thanksgiving.

 

[Muhammed]

This made 1004 on my list of a thousand things to give a shit about.

But your list is overflowing?!?

You've got to at least give a shit about that?

Lincoln allowed union troops to stay at the WH from time to time when accommodations were not otherwise available.

A far cry for Pelosi making the NG stay in parking garages during the winter.

The ballroom could serve that purpose if need be.

You say he tore the east wing with no plan on the replacement, in the same sentence. While also saying the plans for the replacement is too big. You loons don't even know what you're bitching about. So your point is?

Yes, no finalized plan.

But we have lots of info anyway.

Well, apparently you don't.

I'm not paying any more attention to this low IQ talking point, sorry.

Trump's Ballroom, will end up being larger than the White House, if he has his way!​

I don't see This Ballroom, being a venue, for "We the People" , where "Boy Scouts of America", etc, could gather.

I actually Believe that this Ballroom, will end up being only for the "Elites of America", & the World, with Trump's Name somehow placed on it.

To me,... Messing with the White House, is also an Attempt to change America's Heritage, as in Renaming the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America", which none of the Founding Fathers, were concerned about changing it's Name. And to me,... It's still "The Gulf of Mexico".

But I have to admit, after the White House was rebuilt, after the War of 1812 when the British burned down the first "White House",... The "West Wing" did not exist until Theodore Roosevelt remodeled it, and,.... Added the West Wing. And apparently, several more Administrations such as Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, & Jimmy Carter, either remodeled, or added to the White House in various ways.

Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees.​

The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.

Yesterday at 5:00 a.m. EST

"By Jonathan Edwards
and
Dan Diamond

President Donald Trump has argued with the architect he handpicked to design a White House ballroom over the size of the project, reflecting a conflict between architectural norms and Trump’s grandiose aesthetic, according to four people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal conversations.
Trump’s desire to go big with the project has put him at odds with architect James McCrery II, the people said, who has counseled restraint over concerns the planned 90,000-square-foot addition could dwarf the 55,000-square-foot mansion in violation of a general architectural rule: don’t build an addition that overshadows the main building."

So, IOW, Others have done things to the WH, but you object because Trump want's a venue to host Diplomats, and State leaders from around the world without having to stand in a tent. All because, well, you know, TRUUUUUMP! Get bent loser.

Tore the east wing down with no plans.
He is putting a structure in its place that is way to big.
Liberalism is a mental disease.

No plan but you’re whining about Trump and the Architect discussing the plans.

Your low IQ causes you to contradict your silly whining.
