Trump may not be able to work in the Oval Office for over a year
New York Post ^ | November 17 | Chris Perez

Posted on 11/16/2016 11:30:17 PM PST by PghBaldy

President Obama is apparently refusing to renovate the Oval Office — and has instead decided to pass the buck to Donald Trump, who may be forced to work somewhere else for a quarter of his term now as a result of the numerous security upgrades that will be going on inside the room. “My understanding is that for the first year of his time in office, President Trump will not have the Oval Office,” former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove told Fox News on Wednesday.

As bad as their security was it will take that long to remove all the electronic bugs.

Considering Trumps taste in décor, he'll turn the Oval Office into a giant Faraday cage. Gold gild of course. :)

Trump will be much more comfortable in his own hotel Penthouse. Besides, the renovation gives them plenty of time for a thorough exorcism.

Kick his ass out now. I’m sure the country would run just fine if Obama left office early. It’d be like Christmas!

I think Trump will be fine with this. He wants to work out of his own digs. Plus this gives them a chance to scrub the White House for bugs and other surprises that leaving a capital open to our enemies for eight years can lead to.

Now they don't need to come up with an excuse for due diligence security measures.

Zero is just desperate because, unless he gets the post at the UN, he’s going back to being the nobody he was before Ted Kennedy forced him on us.

Interesting. Never heard Obama say that.

He can thank the Clintons for that. The White House phone system and team was considered to be the best in the world prior to the election of Bill Clinton. They could find anyone at anytime, and do it quickly. They were skilled, and while the equipment wasn’t considered state of the art, it was the people using it that made it work well.

When the Clintons came in, they changed the system, and people could no longer be “found”. Not just the President, but everyone. It made it easy for people to dodge being found, and that is exactly what the scummy, liberal pieces of crap did.

This was from the book “Unlimited Access” by Gary Aldrich, the FBI agent in charge of White House security.

It’s just as well, Obama would probably screw it up.

There’s always the Presidential Suite down the street at the Trump Hotel.

After its done which won’t take long give it to the Pence family for awhile, Trump doesn’t work well if he has to be caged like a circus lion. Pence would control Washington while Trump oversees projects across the nation.

As if Donald Trump really even CARES... he’s a git-r-done guy. To Donald, “problem” is simply “another kind of opportunity.”

:Trump will bring in his own guys.. non-gov.. the gig will be done in 2 weeks.”

Ahead of schedule, and under budget!

Trump Tower is probably more advance.

Remember Theorem's "The Thing?" Maybe that's why Truman gutted the White House in 1947.

When has Trump ever not gotten a project done ahead of schedule. This is laughable!

It needs a total cleansing after OBeelzebub occupied it.

Trump needs to bring in his own people (not government employees) to comb the entire building for phone taps, bugs, hidden cameras and anything else the America haters might have left behind.
