Outrage Over Trump Demolishing East Wing for Ballroom

Featured Video Play Icon

Trump lied about about building Multi-million dollar ballroom, claiming nothing would be touched, then Demolished White House East Wing Without notice or Permission. It’s clear that Trump thinks of himself as a King / Dictator similar to Putin… that he thinks the White House is his own personal property and he has no intentions of ever leaving.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House is symptomatic of how Trump is destroying our country and what an out-of-control LUNATIC he is.

Judge Questions Trump Authority to Build White House Ballroom

A Washington federal judge pushed back on Justice Department claims that President Donald Trump has authority to demolish the White House East Wing to construct a 90,000 square-foot ballroom.

Per the above article; A Washington federal judge pushed back on Justice Department claims that President Donald Trump has authority to demolish the White House East Wing to construct a 90,000 square-foot ballroom.

Judge Richard Leon of the US District Court for the District of Columbia appeared unpersuaded at a hearing on Thursday that Congress would’ve given presidents permission do such major projects without lawmaker approval.

The judge pointed to former President Gerald Ford’s swimming pool and cabana project in the 1970s, which the government had cited as an example of a renovation that Congress didn’t approve.

“You compare that to ripping down the East Wing?” Leon said to Justice Department lawyer Yaakov Roth. “Come on. Be serious.”

Roth argued that Trump has authority to make changes under a law authorizing the president to spend money for the “repair, alteration, refurnishing,” and “improvement” of the executive residence, including heating, lighting, and air conditioning.

This law “anticipates very small side projects,” not a $400 million ballroom, Leon said. He added that the government’s argument that ballroom construction counts as an alternation or improvement is a “pretty expansive interpretation.”

When Roth asked toward the end of the proceeding if he’d addressed Leon’s questions, the judge replied, “You did the best you could.”

The judge was hearing arguments in a bid by historic preservationists to halt the project until it has cleared federal review. Trump has said the ballroom could cost as much as $400 million and could be used to host future inaugurations.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation sued the administration over the project, claiming it illegally demolished the East Wing without environmental reviews or input from Congress, the public, or relevant federal commissions.

Trump’s infamous White House ballroom and bunker have been all but scrapped by a federal Judge and the national preservation committee. Oh, and the $400 million in ballroom donor money has either disappeared, or simply never existed. There has been zero transparency or accounting of the millions pledged to a private fundraising pipeline.
The original East Wing was built in 1902 and renovated in 1942. Now it lays in ruins, completely demolished with several bulldozers and skip loaders clearing out the last of the rubble.
Trump had the wing improperly demolished, so now GSA has to hire a construction company to fill the site with dirt and sod. The Judge snapped during a hearing, saying, “Come on, be serious,” after a lawyer for the administration drew parallels to the erection of a pool during the Gerald Ford administration in the 1970s and other smaller renovations.
The East Wing of the White House is destroyed, it can never be replaced, and Trump probably won’t be allowed to put his precious ballroom there either. But he *did* pocket $400 million in bribes from his “donors” to build…absolutely nothing. [facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1375374051302417]
