Trump is building his own residence and office on Pennsylvania Ave. Doesn’t want to live in government housing.

IIRC, Trump gets to redecorate it. The Obama’s did.

Uh, Trump has a bit of experience with contractors. It will be gutted and rebuilt in a month.

Harry Truman worked out of Blair House while they tore the White House apart and basically reconstructed it.

Worked out fine for him. Story is a nothingburger.

Oh. I guess they just cleaned that sink real good, in
anticipation of Horndog Bill having access to that office
and the young interns again. Poor Monica caught all the
blame for that little Horndog Fiasco & Bill got adopted by
politicians; but Monica caught all the mess from that
CLINTON crap.

I am of the opinion that the nation could use a White House out west. Nothing coastal, but something more in flyover country (Denver, Salt Lake, etc). Use it as an alternate White House.

So they thought Hillary would win, and needed an excuse for her to not be in the White House... What was Hillary planning? False flag attack against the White House to justify war? That she could survive by not being there?

I heard that the glass windows in the Oval Office were actually 6-8 inches thick and ground to eliminate distortion so that the viewing through them looked normal.

> At least the sink made famous during the Monica days will likely be replaced.

That must be why its gonna take a year - everything has to be steam cleaned and sanitized.

HA! That was my first thought too - he’ll review the contract, renegotiate and get it done in 1/10th the time.

As if a specific office is necessary for Trump to be an effective leader.....I bet he can get it done better/cheaper/faster than current plans....

Yeah because the White House doesn't have bulletproof glass.

They don't even bother with good lies anymore...

No....Trump is very respectful of our country and its history. He knows that his proper place is in the Whitehouse as part of his commitment. The media just doesn’t have any news.
