    Trump dance floor: Where only the Trump dance will be allowed.

    Full-sized McDonald's: Preparing the finest Big Macs and Quarter Pounders with Cheese.

    Kid Rock: He'll actually just live there in the corner of the ballroom and perform whenever Trump asks him to.

    Mechanical bull: All of the fanciest heads of state have them in their palaces.

    Spray-tan booth: Have to reapply after you sweat off your tan on the dance floor.

    No one renovates unless they are planning on staying for years not three but years like for good! I’d say that is a big deal or are you of the belief once 2028 comes he announces he’s walking away

    I think he's walking away.

    Who renovated in 42?  They didn't stay and Nixon installed a bowling alley. Truman had one too before that. I don't think he would have stayed either.

    I feel like the "M" is meant to either be devil's horns or a crown, maybe both.

    Note how up-close and clear that unmarred ear is, hahahahahaha. The whole thing is *chef's kiss*.

    You don't think that adding something inside is different than demolishing an entire wing of an historical government building and landmark, one of the biggest American symbols in history, so that he can name-brand a massive building that will dwarf that symbol? Especially after the POTUS specifically promised he wouldn't? And then add how it's being funded, by whom... The way you're underestimating the weight of this is pretty weird I think!

    We’ve received a lot of questions about Trump’s demolition of the White House East Wing.

    Here’s how the process is supposed to work:
    1. Initial Proposal: The White House is managed by the National Park Service (NPS) but used by the Executive Office of the President (EOP). Any proposed change, even by a sitting president,  begins internally through the Office of the Curator and the White House Facilities Management Division.
    2. Historic Review: The NPS, as custodian of the White House under the Presidential Residence Act and National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), must review all alterations for compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA. This requires assessing potential impacts on historic and cultural resources in consultation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) and the D.C. State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
    3. Planning & Environmental Oversight: The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) evaluates all major federal projects in the National Capital Region, including work on the White House grounds, for design, planning, and environmental impacts under NEPA (the National Environmental Policy Act). Public comment and design reviews are part of that process.
    4. Aesthetic Review: The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) reviews and advises on the design and appearance of any exterior modifications to the White House or its grounds.
    5. Final Authorization: After approvals from NPS, NCPC, and CFA, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the White House Chief Usher / Facilities Management Office finalize funding, scheduling, and logistics.

    Only after completing this full process could any major construction or demolition legally begin.

    Yet Trump ignored every step, acting unilaterally through executive order, bypassing oversight, and ordering demolition as if he were a monarch. The result: the people’s house, altered without the people’s consent.

    More details: 

    Section 107, let’s talk about it.

    The above process has always been the process taken, and here’s why.

    Section 107 of the National Historic Preservation Act exempts the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and the Supreme Court from being legally required to go through the Act’s formal Section 106 review. In other words, the law doesn’t automatically force those branches to follow the same procedures as other federal buildings. That exemption exists only because each branch of government controls its own seat of power,  it was never intended as a free pass to ignore preservation, planning, or environmental rules altogether.

    In practice, every administration since the 1960s has followed the same review structure out of duty, accountability, and executive-branch policy. The White House is still federal property, managed by the National Park Service under the Presidential Residence Act and subject to Executive Order 11593, which requires federal agencies to protect and consult on historic resources. Major exterior or site work still triggers National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) and U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) design reviews, along with NEPA environmental assessments. Any project involving government resources must also comply with the Anti-Deficiency Act and federal ethics rules on funding and gifts.

    So yes, Section 107 means the NHPA can’t force compliance, but presidents are still bound by a network of executive orders, planning statutes, environmental laws, and constitutional duties. That’s why the process described isn’t optional, it’s the framework that has always protected the people’s house from unilateral or politically motivated alteration.

    These executive orders: 

    - Executive Order 11593 (1971) – Protection and Enhancement of the Cultural Environment - Requires all federal agencies (including the Executive Office of the President) to “locate, inventory, and nominate to the National Register all properties under their control” and to consult with the Secretary of the Interior before altering historically significant structures. (Demolishing part of the White House without such consultation would conflict with this order.)
    - Executive Order 12148 (1979), delegates emergency and historic property responsibilities to the Department of the Interior, reaffirming that federal agencies must protect historic resources even when exemptions exist.

    My 2 cents for the none of you that care. He shouldn’t be doing it, especially not right now. But people are making it a bigger deal than it is by saying things like it’s proof he isn’t leaving in 2028.
    Trump just wants to make his mark. He’ll be gone in 2028. Even if he wanted to stay, he’ll be even older than Biden, people won’t want him there. He’ll be gone.

    People have been saying he'll be gone for 10 years and he keeps coming back and people keep wanting him back. They keep finding loopholes or ignoring laws, policies and ethics so I'm not sure why you and others think he won't keep doing it in any way that keeps him enriched and in power.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    53% of republicans think he should run for a third term. That’s 40-50 million.

    I'm totally appalled by the destruction for lots of reasons, but not because Trump is going to be in office forever, because he's gonna drop dead soon. 
    After him? Who are we looking at for the GOP? Vance? Miller? Don Jr? MTG? Some Christian Nationalist? Whoever it is, it's going to be just as bad or worse. MAGA is here to stay, and they are going to get up to all kinds of crazy, fascist shit in that fucking ballroom. MAGA and the Christian Nationalist movement, together, are going to stick around, Trump or no Trump. They are playing the long game. And I don't mean the idiots in Trump merch. I mean the actual fascists who have power behind the scenes.

    now compare a bowling lane to a ballroom that is bigger than the entire white house.
