President Trump’s plan to add an expansive ballroom to the White House will mean the demolition of the entire East Wing, which was expected to be fully torn down by this weekend, according to a senior administration official.
No arcitectural review, no nothing. He's tearing down a chunk of the White House as though it's his own property to do with what he will. The difference between bin Laden and Trump is that Trump partially destroyed a building signifying American democracy.
If the next president has any balls at all, the teardown of the Trumpist ballroom will begin in January of 2029.
If he intends to leave. It's starting to look like he doesn't intend to. And if he doesn't, his party will stand behind him.
For one thing is clearer and clearer: Republicans hate American democracy. If this was 1775, they'd be fighting for King George III. If this were 1861, they'd be defending slavery.
Also, this:
“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.”
