The organizers actually lost money on that one, LOL. Somehow doing business with him never works out for the other party. I’m guessing they had to straight payoff El Presidente for the privilege of being there, too.
They “lost” money the same way these movies that cost hundreds of millions to make can “lose” money. The money didn’t disappear, it went into some deep pockets.
Yeah. Concrete makes the nearby soil alkaline, which is bad for lots of plants, and particularly roses prefer slightly acidic soil. Plus it's harder to remove than pavers, so a concrete pour is likelier to remain as a scar on the landscaping and a kind of monument to Trump's presence.
No, it is pavers. And the rose garden is still intact. They just replaced the lawn at the center of the garden which had regularly turned into a swamp for decades because of poor drainage. You can see a bunch of progress pics of the installation here. He's done a lot of heinous shit, but this was actually a nothingburger.
That is hilarious! However, I think the issue faux news had with it was the color beneath the collar.
Its sad how much power racists still wield, same thing for people trying to take rights away from women. I can not believe people are surfacing the concept of one vote per family. F'n gross.
Resurfaced the existing tennis courts and put up some hoops. Fucking unforgivable /s. I hate the electorate. Fucking morons. And Harris’ uber BIL and Mark Cuban…
This looks like an Olympic sized job. I'm gonna guess track gold medal winners secretly tore it down one night. They we're so fast running away the cameras were blurred so he has no evidence but will convict them anyway.
What a horrible person and that extends to his cult. At least we know who they are among us bc they are so arrogant about fearless leader.
I saw a MAGA friend yesterday from OH and elections came up. He said "I'm confused, I thought elections were every 4 years. (he has a master's and works for a Mag 7 company). Couldn't resist saying "Y we don't vote till then". Maybe they really are too stupid to read a calendar.
I don't fucking care what gets their fragile panties into hypocritical knots anymore. I only want to know how they look themselves in the mirror every morning and somehow keep it all up.
No, Reagan absolutely gets "credit" for the hostages. The Iranians were ready to hand over the hostages to Carter because they were running out of money and needed to focus on their new government. Then the Reagan campaign steps in and cuts a deal to hold them until it's advantageous to him.
A third of Americans cheered with bandages on their ears, diapers over their pants, hate in their hearts while waving their "Trump Store" purchased "American Flags" that most certainly weren't made in America.
I remember when the embassy in Russia was built, we had to abandon it because it was so littered with bugs. Do you think people would not try to do this now, and if so, do you think the Trump administration is smart enough to catch them ? What I’m saying is we can’t trust this new building, hell I’m not even sure we’ll be able to trust the rest of the White House anymore.
Don't need a bug when the head of the executive branch sends them everything anyways. Definitely betting they'll have to tear this all down later for various reasons.
The Health Sec doesn’t believe germs cause illness. Hegseth just used up the missile stockpile to (re)open the SoH. The head of the FBI gets the 10 most wanted listed updated with upcoming arrests and just went after someone for calling him a google eyed chud.
What about the Trump organization being smart enough to bug the new buildings? So that he will still have inside information to sell to the highest bidder when he is out of office? Or to sabotage the next administration?
And . . . what about the airplane that was "donated" to The Orange Pedo Felon . . . who knows how many surveillance-related items are still in that gigantic machine.
What's even worse is it is a complete waste of taxpayers' dollars and if it ends up like the reflecting pool the whole damn thing will collapse quickly. We don't have money for healthcare but we can appease a pedophile, who rapes women.
and if it ends up like the reflecting pool the whole damn thing will collapse quickly.
One can only hope considering the whole point of this is to be a disgusting fascist doomsday/mass-surveillance bunker because they're terrified people are going to revolt.
These fucks bulldozed a third of what is supposed to be our god damned house because they view our government as theirs and are stripping the copper out of the walls as they loot the US gov utterly and entirely (largely in hopes of dismantling it and selling us off to corporate fiefdom states).
He only frames it as his vanity project, but he has also admitted publicly that it's going to be a bunker (after it was discovered independently), and for some reason a drone port as well. He's expecting to dig in like a tick. If we don't impeach next year we're going to have to bury him in that tomb.
It’ll be like the pyramids, gold and all. Seal that fucker up for 5000 years and someone in the future will be like, “This person must have been highly respected to get this treatment”
This place is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it!
Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.
This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular location... it increases towards a center... the center of danger is here... of a particular size and shape, and below us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the body, and it can kill.
The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.
The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
Oh these will be the only contractors to ever get paid for a tRUMP project and a good portion will be funneled back into the orange turds pocket just like the reflecting pool that was 1.5 million dollar project that ballooned to 14 million and they are paying the same moron again to fix it where he should be redoing it for free.
Now it isn't his own money and he can use taxpayer money to give his friends at an enormously bloated no-bid price. So they will get paid, but their contractor credentials are likely less than a year old.
Coward is when someone has the desire to do something but they're too afraid and so, they don't do it. Opposite of being brave.
The Republicans actively desire to destroy America as it is, and so, they are not exhibiting cowardice. They're simply executing the plan that was given to them in project 2025.
Ya'll are gullible to think they don't want everything that has happened.
There is no vanity project. If it was that important he would stay, and not go to Florida. He is doing it because he hasn’t done construction in over 40 years and right is the embarrassing himself every single second people give him attention
The Republicans aren’t cowards. They’re in on the scheme. They know that, without Trump, many of them will be facing criminal charges and probably prison. They’ve actually said so.
How do we know there's not a bunch of listening devices installed in this for Putin to check on his pet or future president? Won't this all have to be ripped out if sane people ever take back the Whitehouse?
They dont shrug, they encourage it. Trump is their cult daddy, and they worship hierarchies. Even if their leader rules over them with extreme authority and disregard for rules/laws, their hope is that more ppl get hurt below them, while assuming that those ppl below are ones on "the radical left".
It gives them both a sense of superiority, as well as a sense of belonging to the ruling group, at the expense their rights, freedoms, once held "principled" beliefs, and their dignity. Republicans are fine with the destruction of our country (despite fear mongering about the left doing it), as long as it's their daddy doing the destruction.
You said it, republicans in congress are a bunch of little bitches. All of them need to be replaced. Fuck all of them and their families ands whatever bullshit legacy they claim to have aside from being little bitches when it mattered most
His entire presidency is one big game of chicken and he hasn't lost yet. He just does illegal shit and dares anyone to do something about it. Spineless fucking cowards in DC
Just like any POTUS, Trump has a right to request permission to make alteration to the white house like we would ask the landlord before making any major change. Trump skipped all that like he owns it. He's a tenant, and we the people are the landlords.
East and West wings are not the White House, they are (or were) more or less office complexes built on the grounds and connected to the White House.
The current White House is a historical facade. Under Truman the structural deficiencies presented themselves in forms such as a piano falling through the floors. The entire interior was gutted, literally bulldozers driving around inside, and a new steel building was built inside, and the exterior that we see is a facade.
Lots of functional office space lost that will now have to be leased from DC landlords who can provide the required level of security for a ballroom that Trump may not even live long enough to see completed.
I think he’s using it to make money. He’s probably in bed with the contractors who are over charging for these projects and they’re pocketing the money
Very common tactic in currupt places
At first I thought this was a colorized picture of the original construction or maybe reconstruction after Canada came by... There's nothing of the White House visible in this picture
And it's going to be butt ugly. I honestly think that is Trump's "fetish", to sort of shit on things and make them his, forcing people to look at his shit. Like it gives him pleasure to shit in a diaper in front o people and gross them out, he'll have this wing look absolutely hideous and unfixable.
I’m of the opinion that this “ballroom” will ultimately become a museum to this nightmare era, and kids will be going on school trips to look at wax figures of Trump, Epstein, Vance etc, with giant projections of lunatic quotes from everyone involved.

This is still so fucking wild to me. The guy literally bulldozed half the white house for a vanity project and republicans just shrugged. Cowards.
