The White House is actively being torn down

Such a responsible usage of the budget.

If you wrote this into a TV show, it'd be criticized for being too on the nose.

Seriously. The government is shut down but full steam ahead on the Gaudy Tacky Ballroom. You know its just going to be a gold nightmare that ends up looking cheap

He doesn't plan on leaving, ever.

This, and the upcoming Trump Arch (not the official name), are proof that Trump 2028 will be a reality, backed by the Supreme Court. He's not leaving office until he dies, by any means necessary, and by then Project 2025 will have been fully realized.

Welcome to the new U.S.S.A.

I suspect they are going to put a literal fucking throne in there.

Do you think we will have a Lenin-style mausoleum with Trump once he dies?

And gold Trump statues.

First of all how is this allowed without Congress approval and how is it even happening under government shutdown ?

just tear the whole fucking thing down. none of it matters anymore. it's ruined.

My first thought... How long does he plan on being there?

I'd be fine with the next Dem President deciding to blow up the White House with tnt, and moves the office of the presidency to a different building in Washington DC.

theres not gonna be one,dude this country is a walking corpse of a nation that hide its zombie bite for too long and is now transforming

And yeah, like others said, he wouldn't be doing this if he didn't plan on leaving in four years. He plans to stay there for as long as he's alive.

I'm really hoping nature/God/etc. takes care of him before then.

I think he'd be doing it even if he only had a week left in office. All the guy cares about is leaving a legacy of Cheeto dust shit stains everywhere so people never forget him. This is just an extension of that. Even if he is voted out in a few years we'll still be stuck with his stupid white house ballroom

So what's the over/under on how much of this money is just disappearing?

I'm assuming fifty cents on the dollar.

To hell with that. Reversing Trump's vulgar architecture and interior decorations is literally the easiest part of what will need to be done if this shit show ever ends.

Sure it'll be easy.

But should it really be a priority?

And it'll just give the GOP more ammunition - "look at the wasteful Dems with TDS throwing away your money to destroy something that is brand new and looks perfectly fine, instead of using that money to fix your insulin costs and your kid's education".

Of course fixing Trump's vulgar architecture should not be done instead of doing more important things, but there's no reason to let shit like this stand.

And I reject all arguments about giving the GOP "more ammunition". They are professional whiners and will never run out of "ammunition".

Compared to all the fascism, I really dont care about tacky remodeling.

I agree with you in principle but why make their whining easier for them
