From the article:
” President Donald Trump schemed to keep his violent destruction of the White House’s East Wing hidden from the American public, according to author Michael Wolff.
The president abandoned his earlier promise to leave the East Wing untouched after learning from engineers that the quickest way to complete his $300 million ballroom would be to raze the historic building, Wolff shared on the Inside Trump’s Head podcast.
“They had a meeting and they said, ‘Listen, it really would be much cheaper and faster just to tear down the East Wing,’” Wolff said, citing a source familiar with the matter.
Rather than weigh the consequences of erasing the 123-year-old building’s history, the president’s first concern was reportedly how to keep its potential destruction hidden from the public.
“[Trump] said—this was given to me as a quote—he said, ‘F—. But can we do the demolition at night?,’“ Wolff told co-host Joanna Coles.
“So the idea would be, Washington would wake up and the East Wing would have evaporated,” Coles said. “

George Carlin – Some people are all three. Stupid, full of shit and fucking insane. Trump checks off all 3.

How does this fuckwit think he can disappear an entire historic building without anyone noticing?

The power and glory of our great nation is in the greasy grip of a totally self absorbed moron.

He wants it done during his presidency. Probably worried if a Democrat wins, the project will be shut down.
Would love to seenhisbface if asked how he would feel if a Democrat president demolished his pet project.

~~$200 $250 $300~~ $350M and counting
But he’s a world class builder right?
And he gave Jerome Powell a bunch of nonsense for the Fed building overages, meanwhile it became apparently why the project cost ballooned…..b/c officials from the first Trump administration, forced them during the planning and contracting phase, to use the most expensive marble material instead of less costly granite

Of course he did. He’s got the vocabulary of a punk ass teenager with a learning disability.
Did we think he quoted Benjamin Disreali or something?
And anyone else think that if Biden or Obama ripped down a wing of the White House there wouldn’t be a week-long rage fest on Fox News about the “sanctity” of that historical building?
More shameless hypocrisy from the Right and the MSM.
Super stoked we solved the whole “$300 for 5 bags of basic groceries” thing.
Can’t wait to never step foot in this ballroom….

Lol just a coincidence that he is suing the DOJ for the exact amount the Ballroom will cost…

I mean, if the whole thing was to have a channel to launder money or accept bribes, he could have tore any other government building and still have his gig. For some reason, he chose this one.

How does the consulting team not get held accountable for this. In my country the architect or engineer would need to provide the contractor with a demo plan and approval prior to any work on site. They would have their licences revoked and the client would be forced to reinstate the building, if this was done. Possibly even criminal charges.
I know that Trump seems to be untouchable, but why not go after his supporters. What is the AIA doing about this?

He is going to destroy the entire White House before it is all over. Black people built it. Of course he must destroy it.

The constant swearing, more in public now, indicates mental deterioration; throwing in the rage and incoherence.
We ready to resist?
Can we do the demolition at night?” the most on-brand sentence I’ve ever heard from Trump. Like corruption, but make it stealth mode.
What AOC, Sanders and the like need to start doing is calling out the people who are “just following orders”.
ICE is the worst, but every one in the Federal government is increasingly complicit.
Ball Room/Throne Room/Imperial reception wing? 🤷♂️
His priorities as POTUS seem sensible!
He thinks he’s hiding the Epstein files
