Yesterday

The East Wing will be removed for this monstrosity.

The site of the new ballroom will be where the small, heavily changed, and reconstructed East Wing currently sits.

It makes the White House look like the Girl Next Door who meets the tasteless billionaire who changes the girl's natural beauty by having her breasts enlarged to EEE so he can impress his friends.

T***p exists in a world where no one is willing to tell him "NO!"

Just because you can afford to build something doesn't mean it should be built. He was on the WH roof making plans to rebuild the West Wing in his image.

And no one seems to be able to stop him.

I bet his next project will be to replace the Lincoln Monument with one of himself -- only twice as big.
