Related: About this forumTrump Makes ACCIDENTAL CONFESSION as EAST WING Destruction BACKFIRES - Legal AF
A Congressional Trust has now gotten into the act and told Trump that the desecration by demo of the White House is illegal, and not authorized, leading the White House to accidentally confess that they need "permits" to build the ballroom and can't just act unilaterally to tear down The People's House.
Michael Popok reports on the new scathing letter sent from the National Trust to Trump's White House which others will likely use as a basis for a new suit to stop it. - 10/23/2025.

(16,582 posts)1. Trump confessed he needs permits and can't just act unilaterally to tear down The People's House, but he
went ahead and did it anyway. In a sane world Trump would be sued and forced to pay for rebuilding the entire East Wing, returning it to its former condition, sparing no expense. But, since we live in a fucked up bizarro world, nothing will happen, and Trump will continue doing whatever he wants with zero accountability.
