Nazi architecture vibes. Also, literally nazi architecture.
He’s like a gaudy king Midas; everything he touches turns to kitsch.
But what will the next president do with it? Tear it down? Turn it into low-cost housing?
This has got to be the tackiest, low-brow shit I’ve ever seen. Did he put plastic covers on all the White House couches, too?
Maybe hes nervous about JDs proclivities too
You can be sure that he’ll serve cold McD’s to the guests.
More of a gold leaf guy.
Sooo much gold. Gross
A future US president should literally disassemble this and just restore everything back to before trump showed up. It will be expensive, but so what. Just start wiping his greasy prints off of everything.
A future US president should do a full rollback of every executive order, contract, piece of legislation and appointment made by Trump in either of his two terms. All of it, null and void, and any Trump appointee barred from life from holding public office or serving as a corporate officer. That is the only way that rule of law has even a chance of being restored.
White House official told the Daily Beast last week that the administration has already received nearly $200 million in pledges for the ballroom, which Trump promises to cover out of pocket if needed.
A White House official told the Daily Beast last week that the administration has already received nearly $200 million in pledges for the project, which is not using any tax dollars.
CBS News reported that pledges are coming from corporations and wealthy donors, including Google, Booz Allen Hamilton, R.J. Reynolds, Palantir, and NextEra Energy. Lockheed Martin is said to have contributed $10 million to the project. They each may be rewarded by having their names etched into the White House.
🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮
If Trump promises to cover any costs out of pocket that the corpo simp fucks don’t pay that makes me believe pretty strongly that he has no intention of leaving the White House unless it’s in a coffin…
So glad I left Booz Allen last year. What a fucking embarrassment
I had extensive contacts with Booz in a previous career. It’s pretty much expected behavior for them.
That has been clear since 2021
Hey DOGE…
Nearby, an oft-photographed area of the White House has been transformed into a colonnade filled with gold-framed images of all of America’s past presidents, except Joe Biden. Instead, the space where Trump’s predecessor should be displayed on the “presidential walk of fame” is a photo of Biden’s “autopen.”
Omg this guy is the fucking worst.
what a petty child
Looks like a Mausoleum for American democracy
This looks like it would take more than 4 years to build properly… implications?
“Properly”. It’s being planned by Trump.
Also no way that they’re going to build that thing for $200M. That won’t even cover the first round of grifting before a spade hits the ground.
Can’t help but laugh at all the steps in front of it too, when that fat fuck was complaining about the escalator at the UN being broken. How you going to get into that building, Taco? Someone have to carry you?
The ballroom building looks suspiciously like something from Hitler’s Germania.
First thing that crossed my mind, too.
Very Albert Speer-ical.
Isn’t that the big dome that the nazi government and Hitler wanted to build? … in a new imperial city they would design.
Albert Speer was Hitler’s architect. No surprise, they lied about when they started planning their Nazi architecture so it surprised and impressed everyone.
Everything Trump has been doing is out of Hitler’s playbook.
Architecture Of Doom covers this very well.
The mere mention of Ruinenwerttheorie would give Trump a stroke.
He literally just wants it bigger than the White House. What a petty fucking man-child.
Would be fine by me if it gets bulldozed by the next administration.
The next administration won’t, it will be the same administration, or whomever they select themselves because Trump realized he’s to old. You can’t have fair and free elections while the FCC is being directly controlled by the white house. All donations, run through the white house now. These used to be separate bodies, this administration seized control of them and the Supreme Court didn’t stop them, and Congress won’t stop them.
FCC, doj, fbi, ……
I hope it does. Wasted money be damned.
It’ll probably be turned into offices.
Maybe a horse barn.
Homeless shelter
One word: Gaudy
He’s really leaning into those Marie Antonette vibes.
