It wouldn't surprise me if the company they hired to demolish/build is owned by the shitstain, directly or indirectly, to siphon more money out of the government. Otherwise, he's not going to pay them.
it was an open secret that the Trumps were trashy noveau rich with no sense of taste or humility - Trump was leveraging his ownership of highly filmable property to get unearned cameos in movies even then - though most of those cameos ended up on the cutting room floor.
that part is cut when the movie is broadcast on network TV many times, though not because of all the bad shit he has done but when they trim movies for time on TV they remove parts that are not plot motivating.
The new White House ballroom is planned to be a 90,000 Square Foot addition to the East Wing, which will dwarf the 55,000 Square Foot main White House residence.
Knowing what we do of trump and my experience in dealing with many hotels and venues. This Epstein Ballroom will be built by the cheapest builder, who won't get payed by trump anyway, and will have very few electrical sockets and the whole back of house area will look like shit because all back of house areas look like depressing utility closests made into a liminal space
"There will also be security enhancements involving the underground bunker built under the East Wing during World War II, known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center."
Some forms of biometric security are sealed with electromagnetic locks, so in many cases a powerful neodymium magnet with or without power can actuate the mechanism without needing to interact with the security measure.
I hope to see the time another president comes in, uses the ballroom to hang every nazi after the New Nuremburg Trials, then tear down that thing and turn it into the most beautiful rosegarden ever.
Nah, don't burn the money by tearing it down. Use it p.e. to house migrants, shelter homeless people or run a permanent exhibition of the horrors of Trumps Nazi-Regime?

Nah. Make his section just a plain wall but with a detailed list, super small font, and no names. Erase him as an individual, but let the sheer magnitude of what he’s done speak for itself. Every lie preserved, but burn him and his enablers from everywhere. No books, no plaques, nothing with their names survives, only the record of wrongs.
SisyphusRollin
All those working class MAGA are so excited about the BALL ROOM lol.
RetrogradeLlama
Yep. Main White House if 55K sq ft including all floors. His new ballroom, one story, 90K sq ft.
unfortunatelynotdeadyet
He wanted a building where he could entertain all his friends. That model is actual size.

It is every good American's duty to piss on the ballroom floor.

We aren't going to be allowed within a 1000m of that thing.
RipThemUpRatchet
What a waste of freaking money. Nobody gives a shit about the stupid ballroom
bippityboppitybuttsex
It is an extortion from American businesses, they either pay or face legal action.
SomeDetroitGuy
I have it on good authority that literally every single President for the past 150 years wanted it. Okay, maybe not "good authority" but Trump.
Titilve74
The companies who "sponsored" this do, though... 🙄😒

Fun fact. 1985-A Biff was based on Donald Trump. Because yes even back in the 80s he was an asshole.

Democrats need to run on tearing that down as soon as elected

Please show respect! Call the room by its official name: The Epstein ballroom.

Nah, it's funded by Palantir and Google, so they get to name it.

I call it the "Anyone who ever wants my vote from here on out needs to promise to demolish that bullshit no matter the cost on day 1" ballroom

Yes. Buy the domain epsteinballroom.com and link it through to the whitehouse website.
Evi1Gav
Annoyingly, someone already owns it.

If you can contact them, ask them to do it? If it turns out it's him, that's still funny lol

noonehasthisoneyet
Why is he overcompensating with a ballroom? Is he trying to tell us how small his balls are? Idk with this dude
iklu
Whoever thought it would be moderate in size, were a bit naive
Dustorm
It’ll get partially constructed before the contractors realize Trump isn’t paying them.

President Mushroom strikes again! Clearly compensating for his well-known shortcoming.

A reminder that they are building a mega-bunker for bunker bitch to hide in.
mrthewhitee
The megabunker already exists and has for decades.
It's well documented.

rubypilgrim
didn't they already build that for Bush/Cheney?
bippityboppitybuttsex
The bunker was built during WW2.
lpooptoomuch
and some crazy defenses on the roof, probably gonna build a wall too, but only for him at the Whitehouse.
wadatahmydamie
We’ll move the Capitol to Portland
robingal1
Hitler killed himself in a bunker. What a nice thing to say about fascists.
wadatahmydamie
Good. We can bury it outright.
lostwalllet
I wouldn’t doubt it if all the sponsors of the ballroom got space in the bunker, too, as well as their own med-beds there.
bippityboppitybuttsex
The sponsors have their own, much nicer, bunkers... see Mark Zuckerberg and Oprah's purchase of Hawaii.
sadurdaynight
Gotta have plenty of space to pack in the mega-donors when he calls them all in like a mafia boss looking to shake folks down.

All the atrocities? Sorry, ballroom will not be big enough for that ...

Just the highlights (lowlights?) then

It's going to be his throne room. I'm calling it early.
HappyHermit247
Goddammit. I think you're right
MrTenant2
Exactly. Stupid looking, no class, no aesthetic, shitty architecture
woozle
the ballroom will be like 90,000 sq. feet iirc
Sebastopol140
It might be 88,000 sq feet... /s
LitterBoxKing
Yep. And the White House -- excluding the west wing -- is 55,000 sq. ft.
