This means zero oversight contracts for Trumpf insiders to make millions from and possibly money laundering opportunities.

The administration, though, asserted...government was...not destroying them.

Where have we heard that before?

President Trump loves to destroy things that other people cherish.

President Trump has no idea how to create value, aside from slapping a brand name on it.

President Trump is the perfect President for Republicans.

I heard today that the new ballroom will not be physically attached to the White House.

If the presumed occupant lives long enough, the stench at 1600-A Pennsylvania Avenue will remain.

@#9 ... the new ballroom will not be physically attached to the White House ...

I've not yet seen that. Got a [non-AI-generated] link?

(FWIW I have seen social media references saying Pres Trump has turned the White House into a stalled construction pit ...)

thx.

That fat ------ knows almost as much about tariffs as he does about construction. Which is ZERO.

Probably why he seems to prefer licensing his name to other developers who actually build the buildings.

What Pres Trump does seem to know is how to grossly gild things in gold trim to make it look tawdry.

Clearly, Trump has oodles of free time on his hands.
That happens a lot.
When you're not working your actual job.
