Trump will monetize the ballroom. . He will charge to rent it out. . Added to the rental change, he'll collect on catering, bar charges, linens, floral, etc. . He'll charge admitance for his own events. . Foreign countries and US oligarchs will rent. This will replace lost DC hotel revenue.

Those hacks will damage the whole structure! So Trump can drag it out 3 years! More grift$ Then he must stay at his Properties and charges 3x the rate to all!

He's doing what bin Laden wanted to do.

Why is no one pointing out that this is being done with Swedish construction equipment? So much for America First.

Call it #TheEpsteinBallroom for now, but when the #orangegoof is gone, rename it to: "The Barrack Obama Peace Prize Center for LGBTQ+ Rights and Racial Equality"

Any chance he was in the can at that time?

I can't even.

😢💔

BE BEST!1

we're not done with him for a bit.

😡

Sickening. I was already depressed so this is doing nothing to help my mood.

My heart both hurts and rages. F these people🤬

This makes me sick. 🤬

So gutwrenching.

Same here … and I’m not even from the U.S. It is rape on a scale ‘never seen before’ as he would say.

With you.

Once the fascists are finally overthrown someday the next president needs to tear this down

If they are so desperate for affordable housing... Let them build ballroom!!!

Will this BALLroom have an Epstein room for "special" occasions? 😁

So grotesque... There's your next wave of Dem ads right there. Just play that over and over again..

That is fucking spot on! Goya would be proud.

That about sums it up

Me too. 😭

Fucking animal

😡🤬😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬 youtu.be/NxfcSGQH-t0

Every component of the East Wing is an historical artifact. The demolition process is a well used mechanism by Trump to make the process irreversible quickly even though no permit process has been secured. Kill, then ask forgiveness. Fu*k Trump and his enablers.

Wonder what he’s planning to call it 🙄

Yes that is going on in the background! A thief a con a Convicted Felon! You Fucking Hideous Republicans! I hope Every Republican running for office is VOTED OUT!

Never could one picture be more symbolic of his presidency.

He should be sued by the american citizens for destroying our house.

Wild speculation on my part, but I don’t think he plans to leave.

Please call it the Epstein ballroom. Let it forever be like a steel ball and chain around the necks of the funders.

I will never not be scared to death that this idiot has the nuclear codes. Everyone knows this, right? I’m not just screaming into a void? This psychopath has the nuclear codes.

Sad, disgusting news

if there's asbestos -- it is going EVERYWHERE!

This is making me feel things about the White House that I didn’t think I’d feel. There’s just something incredibly disturbing on the symbolic level of this desecration.

If I were a future prez--ha hah!--I would refuse to live in the WH and simply say it has been sullied too much by Trump. I would turn it into housing for the poor and homeless, and raise funding for a new, yet modest, presidential residence.

What would be interesting is some journalist finding out who are the demolition workers, and do an interview or two. What do they think of the work they're doing?

But. What he is doing to humans here and around the world is much worse.

I can’t even look without my stomach turning.

I have never in my life been violent. I've never felt violent. Now, I feel violent.

Before tearing down part of the People's House, Trump was legally required to submit his plans for review by: Congress National Parks Services State Historic Preservation Officer Commission on Fine Arts National Capital Planning Commission General Services Admin Public and Cultural Stakeholders

Contractors working for Trump need to check they will get paid. I bet they end up chasing payment. Just a hunch based on Trump‘s whole life of avoiding having to pay for anything.

Because it's all part of his plan of chaos and disruption and disrespect for our history and constitution. Misuse of military force and funding are all connected.

He absolutely knows about Historic Landmarks. He did this shit in New York. Agreed to salvage and preserve Art Deco metalwork. Then destroyed it intentionally. He is doing this deliberately during the shutdown so we can’t stop him.

Prosecute this desecration of the People’s House Illegally demolished! Impeach this ruthless out of control Ego maniac! Congress HAS to be involved in All these Actions! Congress it’s written in the Constitution! Enough with this unfit Convicted Felon invoking Executive Orders!

What about security and Russian listing devices trumps will put in?

He's already given them a their pardons.

The White House and surrounding property is a National Park, it is paid for by us and belongs to us. Like everything they are doing, they are not allowed to do this. They don’t care. Anyone who is not actively resisting their assault on We The People is complicit now. We are losing our country.

Nope. Sometimes you just say fuck it and deal with the fines later.

I have a bad feeling Donnie's renovations, such as they are, may cause structural damage to the entire White House.

Horrific. Physically revolting.

Our enemies are giddy with delight. Our allies (if we have any left) are horrified, disappointed, and not at all surprised.

Arrest the construction workers for destruction of public property.

Are there protesters outside the WH? LBJ had them for long, long, time.

Metaphor for what he is doing to America.

And if the demolition of the East Wing of the White House isn’t the bottom, now he wants the taxpayers to give him $230, million to compensate him for his crimes of instigating the January 6, insurrection and stealing classified documents to store on the stage and bathroom at mar a lago.

Do Mar-a-Lago next.

Building the Epstein Ballroom

Donald is building The Epstein Ballroom in honor of his best friend and wingman at the Miss Teen USA pageant.

Look at all that asbestos and lead paint dust!!

I hope that all of MAGA take some time to go the site and take in a deep breath of freedom and owning the libs. Do it several times.

Is anyone following the operator home?

That would require dems to wake up and realize they aren't invertebrates!

The absolute least I expect from a future Democrat administration is the tearing down of this abomination and the removal of all the tacky ass gold. (The second least thing is actually punishing these conspirators, but that may be too much to hope for.)

What?

And that maga can’t wait to see the East Wing torn down.

Me too!! I want to be involved in the tearing down of the ballroom!! And restoring the East wing back to its glory

It's a throne room, not a ballroom.

That will be a joyful day. Like pulling down Saddam's statue.

Don’t forget the ketchup!

Happy meal only.

Don't forget the Dijon ketchup!

And it will be sold out. That's the heartbreaking fact of it.

I assumed it was going to be a Teen Miss America pagent

DISFUCKINGGUSTING!!

He is giving us a building to convert on day 1 We must Never forget

ACECO, tasked with demolishing White House wing, faces online firestorm - The Baltimore Banner share.google/ccQb5N3D2gkb...

It's literally a national park. I'm curious who issues permits for historic structures.

Even the British who burnt it down know this is an Horrendous act by the Orangerapistpedo and the relevant authorities doing absolutely fuck all to stop this madness need to be held to account when then dust settles and he OPP is dead .

There are a lot of things I feel and hear when I see this. Among them is remembering that asbestos was most certainly a thing when it was built.

THIS IS GROTESQUE! DONALD'S LOVING IT. AND THERE WILL BE A DAY FOLKS!

if this was not permitted, can the contractor be sued for illegal destruction of public property?

😱🥲

Obsession with architectural legacy tends to preceed the great downfall.

Yes...I saw that lol

These are the worst of times these are the worst of times. Someday again will come out best of times. However we have to take the trash out first 👍!

I’m gonna be sick

Everyone who loves humanity more than wealth and property hates America.

May as well continue the metaphor and demolish the entire White House.

Shameful! Heartbreaking!

Timely that he's doing this while the Shutdown has closed the planning.dc.gov
