      how can we make this?

      it’s we just start calling it like that, it’ll be the English word for it.

      Wikipedia will list it as Epstein ballroom.

    Best visual representation of Trumps presidencies, demolishing over a century of US history to erect a monument to his ego.

    Argentina though - forty sweet Beelyun smackers of taxpayer cash to prop up a political ally of this fascist fraud machine.

    What’s the point of a private ballroom like this? Is he really going to host enough balls and parties to make this worth the space? Normally a ballroom is like rented out and has events going for it and is a community space. This seems just like something stupid for him to have with no purpose.

    I hope to fuck the next administration puts it back the way it was and put in restrictions to disallow total bullshit like this. But again the Democrats are enablers so fuck this timeline.

    This says something about Trump.

    Back under Clinton, the White House lawn needed to be redone for reasons. (Obligatory fuck lawns)

    The National Parks service said it would take a few years to complete and Clinton didn’t want to do it because he didn’t want the look of a torn up lawn in front of the White House to be a news item.

    W was told the same thing and he made the same decision.

    Obama was told and he was the one to finally do it. I don’t remember if it made any sort of news outside the typical inside beltway noise but a lot of folks kind of gave him props for doing that.

    This kind of construction isn’t going to be pretty and the fact that Trump is allowing it…I mean, it’s sort of Obama-esque but we all know it’s Trump’s ego running the show.

      Allowing it? NPS didn’t ask to add a ballroom to the White House. Trump is tearing down part of the White House because he’s adding a grand ballroom, same way he paved over the Rose Garden. Literally no one asked him to do this.

    It’s a historic building, which is always challenging, and I’m sure the end result will be gaudy and golden. That said, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to add an event space. I’m sure it will be useful.
