GOOD FOR HIM
PROBABLY REMOVING HIDDEN LISTENING DEVICES, ALSO.
It makes sense, it’s difficult for a President to move around to events, this will be far safer.
The Old Post Office in DC is a magnificent example.
And they were going to demolish it.
What do you mean "supposed to be" you jerk?
Opulence may not be the best optics right now.
Sigh, get a life, Daily Mail. You folks better start memorizing the Koran and burka-ing your slave women, lest you be beheaded.
That’s what I was thinking.
Maybe they’ll find Jimmy Hoffa’s body.
If the President wants to engage in self gratification he has many properties around the world on which to do so. This isnt a flagpole or a new garden. This is a major change in the POTUS’ residence.it’s not turninga basement swimming pool into a bowling alley or a projection theater. And it’s not his house. It’s his temporary residence. And if he’s trolling those No Kings people there are a lot of cheaper and more meaningful ways to do it.
Ridiculous that they have to put up big tents for the big events
How much does that cost each time?
Has anyone seen an artist picture of what it will look like (from the outside) once completed? I have only seen the interior pictures. As long as it is complimentary to the White House, I dont see the problem.
That part was very old maybe it was in need of repairs
Stolen elections have consequences.
The entire White House could be demolished by now if it wasn’t for Trump telling millions in 2021 to wait and vote in 2024.
Privately funded with Trump paying part himself. Let that sink in. What other president pays out of his own pocket for government renovations? Yet most news sources breeze right past this fact.
He’s a builder. He knows what he’s doing and whom to hire
Period
Didn’t these limey bastards burn the White House down in 1814? You’d think they’d be happier...
“Opulence may not be the best optics right now.”
Why?
I love it!
Classical lines, romanesque arches, corinthian columns. Mostly white, touches of gold, masses of glass to open the area. It will be pure magic for either dinners or balls. And it will feel right to the Europeans used to the majesty of older, classical architecture.
The presidency is SUPPOSED to awe visitors with the power of our country. This will.
Went there. Love the bar/lobby and the chandeliers are magnificent.
