It would be better to stop it before it is built, than to tear it down after $300 million dollars has been spent to build it.
But, who would want to go to Washington to see the Trump Ballroom?
It will be so huge that the present White House will look like a storage shed out back.
The right thing for Congress and the Senate to do is to impeach the criminal and convict him and throw his ass to the curb. Then, file a civil suit and take every penny he has to his name.
That would be justice.

(12,192 posts)The East Wing, the colonnade and the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, I'm not referring to the Rose Garden that he paved over. There was another garden he had to bulldozer over to get to the east colonnade.
He's going to bulldoze the whole thing. The next up is the original White House. He is going to bulldozer it all down. He's not stopping with just a wing or two. Who's going to stop him? Congress isn't even able to function. The Supremes are licking his butt and the Admirals are shooting at innocent people in Venezuela.
Two things I predict that pedo is going to do. 1. He's going to bulldoze all of the White House. And 2. He's going to bomb an American city killing many people.

had to meet all kinds of rules to put his shop in a local listed historical structure. This asshole destroys the

Charles and Judith Voorhees filed a motion in Washington federal court Thursday afternoon, asking a judge to halt any further damage to the White House while the legality of the project is assessed.
The motion seeks a temporary restraining order against the demolition, arguing it is taking place without legally required approvals or reviews.
Trump initially said the ballroom would be constructed without impacting the existing structure of the White House, but this week said much of the East Wing was being demolished to make way for the project.
The new court filing, which names Trump and National Park Service Director Jessica Brown as defendants, alleges that the demolition and construction violates the National Capital Planning Act and the National Historic Preservation Act, as well as a mandatory review by the Commission of Fine Arts.
I am not holding my breath on this lawsuit. There appears to be some exemptions that could apply to trump
