Yeah, but does it even replace the offices that were there?

Let’s talk about the bunker that was under the East Wing. A ballroom seems like a good cover for a larger one for someone wanting to stay in power….
Here’s info on the old bunker and who used it from The Hill article:
“The East Wing yet again stirred controversy when President Franklin D. Roosevelt added more offices as part of the White House’s growing staff in 1942, the WHHA stated. It also became the home of an underground bunker now referred to as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center. The bunker was used by members of President George W. Bush’s Cabinet following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and by President Trump[ ](https://thehill.com/people/donald-trump/)during the George Floyd protests in 2020.”
Trump used it for the George Floyd protests…..what a wimp.

Wait till he tears down the White House and replaces it with his magnificent presidential palace.

It will likely never get built. Instead he will pocket the “investment” and send in a construction crew every few weeks to make it look like something’s happening. Old Trump grift.

I’m just mad we’re going to be on the hook for the demolition cost of that monstrosity the next time a sane person is president.

Trump always dreams of being in a huge hall, surrounded by as many greedy little sycophants and kiss-asses as possible in one place. The ballroom is malignant narcissist paraphernalia.

If they demolished the bunker under it, aren’t they all just sitting ducks right now?

Pritzker, Newsome, AOC, Crockett need to start wearing T-shirts showing the ballroom being torn down on top, the east wing rebuilt under it in.
“Tear it Down” needs to be a protest chant. Someone will make this graphic soon. They all need to wear it.

Next year hell demo the west wing, the then the year after that he’ll demo the main building and serve out the remainder of his term from Mar A Lago in a hospital bed.
The best part is hell never live to see it finished and the Democratic supermajority will cancel all Federal memorials to Trump, then have to relocate the white house because the contractors he used wont have passed security backgrounds and there’s no way to ever fully secure the structure. So it will all have to be demo’d for a clean slate.

It’s not a ballroom.
The new palace for the ~~king~~, ~~dictator~~, third term president.

This wont end with the ballroom. He’ll keep tearing down and rebuilding the whole place until the original is gone and only the gaudy replacement is left
jackleggjr on
He’ll definitely come for the West Wing next.
Just wait: he’ll give the State of the Union from the newly constructed ballroom, and only invite Republicans or some stupid shit.
ts_wrathchild on
Next potus should demolish it right away and install a memorial to victims of fascism over top.
This ballroom is a direct symbol of fascism and it must not be allowed to stand when this nightmare is over.

Where will they find the workers to build this ballroom?

Sure it’ll get used as a ballroom, but I would bet a paycheck Trump privately thinks of it as a throne room.

The White House is now just an extension of the ballroom.
I hope whoever comes in next makes better use of the ballroom, like turning them into offices, or a museum of anti fascism.

Let’s be real. This is probably just another way to funnel bribes to himself. This thing is never going to actually get built.

Taxpayers will be on the hook to build this thing, then on the hook again to tear it down because of all the bugs and surveillance devices buried within it, and then on the hook to rebuild the original East Wing again properly.

Just for some context:
Trump World Tower (2001) cost $300M, 967k sq ft, 816 feet tall.
*WTF* are they putting in this ballroom?
Literally let them eat cake.
