In keeping with normal casino architecture, people won’t be able to find the way out.

“Former builder”? Guys, I think you mean “convicted felon.”

If the numbers provided by the WH are accurate, the 90,000 sq ft addition will be nearly twice as large as the entire building, which the NPS says is 55,000 sq feet. Perfect message about an unserious country.

powerful to see how little women and children lives matter to most men in this country. What’s even more sickening is to see how it doesn’t matter to other women. We’re in this boat right now because women voted for the sex offender and keep socializing the next gen of these sexual predators.

It will probably end up like the old us embassy in russia anyway. Riddled with security risks and ultimately torn down.

Imagine, in WH ballroom: 1. The security headache. 2. Melania, kicked out of East wing. 3. Paying big bucks to go and sitting at the back. 4. Veterans, having just had the VA gutted to save money. 5. Donor sponsors getting their quid pro quo. 6. Foreign dignitaries suffering Trump's boasting.

Why is such a ballroom needed?Estimated completion date? Follow the money. Who is paying for it? Who is getting paid to build it?

Who the hell does he seriously think he is. The White House is the most beautiful, iconic,natural historical building on registry in the nation. Without a vote on this, he has no authority to concrete slab over the Rose Garden and Knock out wings on a whim.
