I can’t wait until it comes out that the contractors did a shit job, the gold is so spray paint, the contractors never got paid, Trump embezzled every possible cent, and the things is a decaying mess before the decade is out.
you know, if they make it self cleaning and shit i could actually go for this
He still isn’t allowed to build, just demolish. I assume he demolished first to force the hand of the build approvers.
Maybe each successive bad emperor will demolish a wing and just leave a hole in the ground until it’s all gone.
They don’t even have coherent plans yet… There’s stairways leading nowhere and windows facing walls
The point was the demolition, I’m not sure why but someone has been talking to Trump non-stop about the ballroom to do it
Maybe it’s some weird sexist thing, maybe it’s just because they hate America… But the demolition was the point here, someone wanted to get rid of the east wing
They don’t even have coherent plans yet… There’s stairways leading nowhere and windows facing walls They got AI to design it? Who the fuck let Trump have access to AI?
So it’s a retarded Winchester House?
Lmao yes, project 2025 is like 90% AI. The tarrif numbers were AI. Hell, if you look at one of the first executive orders, the one that un-recognizes trans people, about 3 paragraphs in it begins to correctly identify the difference between sex and gender for like an entire page
He wants to build a big monument to himself, and they won’t let him be on Mt Rushmore.
So he’s going to build this enormous monument to himself and attach it to the most iconic, most photographed building in America, so that any future photo will have the Trump Ballroom looming over everything, and they will remember him.
That’s why I’m saying that IF (a big IF) we get out of this mess, the second thing the new president should do is order the destruction of that architectural atrocity, and rebuild the original East Wing, and make Trump pay quadruple out of his pocket for the whole thing.
I say it should be the second thing, because the first order should be to arrest Trump and all his henchmen, and send them to Gitmo for extensive interrogation, before they book it to the Argentina sanctuary he just bought that for them with taxpayer money.
Oh, for sure, that’s definitely what Trump wants and tearing down that symbol of depravity will be a massive healing moment for the country
But Trump’s mind is soup. He’s not controlling anything, someone keeps talking to him about the ballroom so he’ll repeat it for the cameras
I think he just generally doesn’t want to acknowledge that he doesn’t have permission from someone.
His brain is soup. He’s out there talking about warning Hegseth about Bin Laden last year, he said 300 million Americans die every year to fentanyl, it can only good… He’s not running the show
I’m sure that he also wouldn’t want to admit he needs permission, but his mind is not functioning at a level where he can grasp details like that
And he keeps talking about the ballroom. Trump only remembers the last conversation he had, so someone is pointing him at the ballroom for some reason. We saw it when Kirk was shot… When asked for comment he said it was terrible and then launched into another speech about the ballroom
And whoever is pushing this has to know the plans aren’t even close to ready. So they must have another goal
getting a secret hot mic on various crowd members at events like this would be invaluable, whether it was installed by the party in control of the state or some other entity.
They have concepts of plans.
Who’s gonna stop him if the building starts? Laws don’t matter, and never have for the rich.
Kindly don’t associate AC/DC with the Orange Jackass.
I got a ball room for ya, in my pants!
I expect the White House to have its own McDonald’s after this.
…Niw that you say it, it’s kinda oddly fitting…
I don’t think less of anyone for including an apostrophe in a possessive “its,” but I appreciate when someone doesn’t.
It’s going to look tacky. You’ve seen what he’s done to the Oval Office. It’ll be $230M for that slap-dash look of awful design populated with gilded nonsense to try seem classy.
I call it “dollar store-baroque,” that act of taking a piece of furniture, painting it white (or sometimes black) and sticking a bunch of golden trims and floral decorations on it. It’s what people with little money and less taste get/do when they want their place to look classy. So of course Trump is doing it to the White House.
It’s called “Dictator Chic”.
CNN called it ‘Temu Versailles’ the other day, seems very apt.
What did he do to the Oval Office? I’m not sure I could picture it before but I certainly haven’t seen it recently.
I’d honestly be less mad about that.
A 25,000 sqft ballroom is opulence, a 25,000 sqft ball pit is an international attraction! In time it might also lead to the discovery of new life forms…
100% the next cause of a global pandemic is gonna evolve from that ballpit. The old Mcdonald’s Play Place’s were worrying enough
Surely for $350 million you could design a ball cleaning system under the floor… Just capture them from one side, put them through a quick rinse and dry under UV, and then you can have a ball waterfall on the far side
Uv light won’t do anything to fix diarrhea.
Oh definitely for that price you could come up with something to clean the balls, but our current Secretary of Health would probably say thats unnecessary and ruins “survival of the fittest” or something and then pocket any extra cash earmarked for safety
More like the one at dashcon…
well, we know where we’re hosting Dashcon 3!
it’s convenient too, i was in need of new shoelaces!
I mean. Intriguing concept, ball pit the size of the WH east wing.
Btw, ball pits are Heaven for back problems.
Can I use HSA funds to build my ball pit?
Definitely. That was part of the very initial vision and the pitch for the entire program, a ball pit in every household, for the medical benefit of all Americans. Just fill in the request form for permit A38 and let the tax guy down by the harbour do the rest.
🔴🔵🥎🧶🏀🎱
Ianal nor USian, had to look up what HSA even is, don’t believe a word from my mouth. Except for when I tell you how fantastic ball pits are for your back.
i worry i would sink to the bottom
If only he could be fun like that.
