I got yer experts right here.

[shelterguy]

I can help. I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last year.

[Vermont Lt]

I had to manage road construction of CATV system in an historic district in our community. This was a Federally Registered district. Dealing with the committees and regulations associated with that area was a nightmare.

I can only imagine the absolute BS that they will have to deal with trying to work around the White House.

The New York Times is on the case.

“Experts” AKA NYT’s and Leftist liars...

Classic Nancy Pelosi Wrap-Up Smear "Tactic."

1. Demonize your political opponents by telling lies about them.
   
2. Have the press report the lies as if they were true.
   
3. Use the press reports as validation of your lies.

[Hyman Roth]

Ah yes. “Experts”. Geez

[Texas Eagle]

Yeah, you’re probably right, Ashley. Maybe he should just add a third row of radishes to Michelle Obama’s garden and call it good.

[Texas Eagle]

Yeah, you’re probably right, Ashley. Maybe he should just revarnish the floor Barack’s basketball court and call it good.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Yeah, but your room was probably 90 sq ft, not 90,000 sq ft.

[doc maverick]

No matter what Trump does, demoncrats will try to throw a wrench in it.
The NYT is a crap publication for democrat narratives.

[zeestephen]

90,000 square feet?

That is more than TWO acres!

As long as he doesn't hire Powell, the ballroom will be finished ahead of time and below budget. So we're good here.

A ballroom is a historic room. So we're good here also.

If true, I am 100% behind this if President Trump is paying for it and Kevin Bacon and I get the first dance on the new dance floor. :)

[Savage Beast]

Blah blah blah blah blah!

Trump could cure cancer, and they'd still gripe about something or other.

[mass55th]

LOL!! Historic preservationists? Did they have a problem when Harry Truman put a bowling alley in the White House? How about when Gerald Ford put in a pool on the South Lawn in 1975? Or Clinton put in a quarter-mile running track he never used? What President Trump is building will enhance the value of the White House which is already priceless. They’re just pissed that he’s doing it without tax dollars, and none of their cronies will be making money off the construction project.

[dpetty121263]

Oh yeah boys and girls this will help the low and middle class standard living out and put food on the table NOT! This is Trump’s ego at play here...

[Fledermaus]

Ah, those pesky experts again. Were they unexpected too?
