So, what happens to the White House if Trumpy's ballroom can't be finished?

It should have never been ripped apart in the first place! So what will happen, will the east wing be replaced or rebuilt? Or will it be completely destroyed by an idiot?

he likes "inspecting" the bunker when things get exciting outside.

Lock him up in that.

but we should have plans to go soon after inauguration.

we need to consider that this quisling has had years to bug this building, for his own purposes and the kremlin's . maybe do something on penn ave that does not require security and move the presidential offices somewhere else?

My first thought was the Taliban blowing up monuments in Afghanistan to let the public know that they were never going back.

1. It would be a fait accompli (a done deal).

2. The start of the project (demolition) would be stalled for months, if not years, in the courts if it didn't happen right away in secrecy. Trump wanted that ballroom built before he died in office.

3. With the elimination of the East Wing, now Trump's saying, "Well, now, we have to build the ballroom. Can't leave the WH looking like THIS."

The “ballroom” should be turned into a museum in honor of the slaves who built the White House and the ordinary folks who have worked in it since. It is, after all, our house.

I'd vote to replace the East Wing. We don't need another ballroom in the White House.

and have a bronze plaque memorializing the devastation by the mad President.
Rededicate the building in the name of democracy and a warning to guard The People's House well.
