Pretty deranged to applaud the destruction of agencies that help everyone in order to own the libs.
I'm not sure that anyone suspected this narcissitic crime kingpin would wipe out the East Wing for his gold-plated ballroom. Will there be anything left of the America we once knew when he's through with it?
Why do i care that he's destroying a historic wing of the White House? Is that a serious question?Why do you care? The project is being paid for by Trump and private donors.
He's already destroyed the Rose Garden, he'll be hosting a UFC event on the grounds soon and now he's adding a tacky-*** gold-plated ballroom that will be almost double the sq. footage of the current White House. What's next, tearing down Mt Vernon for a disco?Per AI:
Context of previous renovations
The White House has a history of expansion and renovation to accommodate the changing needs of the presidency. The new ballroom represents a major architectural change in line with past presidents' projects, though its scale and design have drawn significant critique from historians and architectural experts. Unlike structural changes to the Executive Residence, the East Wing addition is not subject to the same level of historical preservation review.
The new White House ballroom is designed in a neoclassical style intended to be almost identical to the existing White House's architectural heritage. However, critics argue that its massive size and specific design elements clash with the original building's scale and proportion.
Details on the demolition of the 1942 Constrution:
- Entrance and exterior: The covered entryway and the exterior facade of the East Wing have been demolished.
- Former offices: The destruction includes the area that housed the White House's calligraphy office.
- Overall scope: While the demolition is not the entire 1942 structure, it is described as a "substantial" change, including the removal of a wall in the East Room to connect to the new ballroom. The new structure will effectively replace the existing East Wing in that area.

I could go with less gold myself. However it's not uncommon in many parts of the world to see it in important government/diplomatic offices/buildings. Didn't think much about the oval office decorations before now, won't spend much time thinking about it after now.He's already destroyed the Rose Garden, he'll be hosting a UFC event on the grounds soon and now he's adding a tacky-*** gold-plated ballroom that will be almost double the sq. footage of the current White House.

And no, we do not trust his taste.

yes, but you miss the entire point...even if it's paid for by donors, even if the facade doesn't detract from the current, it's being done by trump. Therefore, by definition, it has to be bad.Per AI:

Trust me, it's well established that you don't care what he does, no matter how deranged. Thanks for the reminder.I could go with less gold myself.

A couple more reminders while i'm at it. I don't particularly trust you. I don't take what you think too seriously (edit: I have occasionally in the past, but i'm trying to be better). Trump will be your president for another 3 years and change.Trust me, it's well established that you don't care what he does, no matter how deranged. Thanks for the reminder.
When he proposed it, he said it wouldn't even touch the current White House, which for your knowledge, is one of the most important historical buildings in our country, if not the most important. Americans have every right to be disgusted by his plan to re-make everything in his image, knowing that as soon as he's gone, we want to sweep away every bit of his memory into history's dust bin.yes, but you miss the entire point...even if it's paid for by donors, even if the facade doesn't detract from the current, it's being done by trump.

BOOM!!!

"White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom
The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure."

Nope, nothing will be left. We'll all be burned to a crisp. SMHWill there be anything left of the America we once knew when he's through with it?
