The East Wing of the White House, first constructed in 1902. 123 years of American history, bulldozed by a madman.

[Miles Archer]

It's more of Trump's "fuck you for electing Biden in 2020" revenge tour.

He's got his Crypto scam, we still pay for his playtime, he has a spiffy new Qatari jet that we will pay to refurbish, he flattened Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden, completed in 1962, is now the Mar-a-Lago patio, 63 years later.

I don't understand how he has the legal right to systematically and methodically destroy the White House.

I don't understand how this is being accepted, and not viewed as an act of domestic terrorism.

Even the understated majesty of the White House.

1. Not enough guardrails

Seriously unbelievable

[Blues Heron]

2. This will wake up more people than destroying usaid and the education department combined

[The Blue Flower]

5. We can only hope

He has desecrated everything he's touched.

[Irish_Dem]

3. He has no legal right. But he commits his crimes in the open

knowing no one will stop him.

He loves getting away with all of his crimes.

[yellow dahlia]

6. In a normal world would Congress have the say?

GAO?

How about We the People?!

If I were near DC, I'm afraid I would be on-site daily. So much to protest!

[Irish_Dem]

8. Yes, and there are other US agencies which regulate the renovation

of historical landmarks.

But Trump fired them all.

And the courts and congress are worthless.

Yes just as well we do not live near DC.
We would be permanent fixtures on the WH lawn with our signs.

[yellow dahlia]

9. And in February I would have been in front of the Treasury and the SSA...

and the USAID office. And then later in front of the USIP, CFPB, etc, etc, etc...

And then I would camp myself out in front of SCOTUS in recent weeks.

I have but one sanity to give for my country.

[Irish_Dem]

28. So many crimes, we would have to decide each day which crime to tackle.

Well put.
One sanity to give for our country.

In four years we will be insane I think.

[yellow dahlia]

30. Yup.

[Rowdyag]

4. He's tearing up OUR HOUSE

He's a damn renter and a lousy tenant 😡🤬

Orange Mussolini broke the lease...kick is ass to the street

[yellow dahlia]

7. This is such an assault!

Just one more in the barrage of assaults.

[yaesu]

10. He already bulldozed our democracy, made a mockery of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, destroyed foreign relations

he must be running out of things to destroy so the White House is next.

[speak easy]

20. "he must be running out of things to destroy "

don't hold your breath

Ben Meiselas delivers an important message to those who have standing to sue over Trump's ballroom: So let me just send this message to anybody who has the standing to sue—to the law firms that are out there, to the state attorney generals: go and seek an injunction to block this construction.

The argument that you should make is that Donald Trump engaged in fraud in saying that he alone was going to pay for it, and that it wasn’t going to impact in any way the existing structure. The emergency basis for your injunction is the photograph that we showed—that they just damaged the actual White House and are destroying the East Wing, which is a violation.

Get a court to enjoin or block further construction until such time as there’s discovery in a transparent way. Who is funding this thing? Make the order, demand discovery, and then address the issues of the illegality—that it is a violation of Article I of the Constitution. That’s the argument you need to make. Go and make it.

Do what I just said, and do it because it’s the patriotic thing to do, and it’s the right thing to do, because laws are being violated right now by Trump as a result of this destruction of the White House.

12. It looks like it's been bombed.

13. Rachel suggested...

That it's his temper tantrum over the No Kings thing.

[Grammy23]

17. I agree that this is his revenge

For anything and everything that bugs him or upsets his fragile ego. He can literally tear the White House apart in front of everybody and all but dare us to do anything about it.

I don’t understand why Congress has no say so over this project. Who says we need a ball room that will be twice as big as the White House? Why does the Orange Mussolini get to decide about this project with zero input from anyone? Evidently, he decided what he wanted and ordered it to be done ASAP. Can no one stop him? Guess we’ll find out.

14. trump respects nothing...nt

15. Who in hell gave him permission to deface

The People’s House?

[Intractable]

22. A more relevant question is, "Who is going to stop him"?

[Initech]

24. Who the hell gave him a god complex?

[Zenlitened]

16. Looks like the Pentagon on 9/11

America Under Attack, indeed

[B.See]

18. And from all of those so-called "real" American "patriots"

who supposedly care about desecration of the flag, and whether a president wears a tan suit... NOT A FKNG WORD.

Which says A LOT about those "Americans," DOESN'T IT??

[Initech]

19. That mad man and his fucking goons need to be removed now.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

21. When he stood on the WH roof he was planning out

how he will tear down the West Wing and build condos for wealthy donors.

Finally, the main WH will be replaced by a Trump Tower taller than any other than other structure in the Nation's Capital.

[Cha]

23. Precisely What Happened.

25. "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot."

That's the song I'll remember this by...

26. For those unaware of the NYC Bonwit Teller fiasco...

Krasnov made promises then…

He is simply Krasnov the Destroyer…

[oasis]

27. But...but, Obama's tan suit.

[Emile]

29. The People's House is a national landmark. It's going to

cost tax payers a fortune to restore it back to it's original beauty.

[yellow dahlia]

31. Makes me sick to my stomach...

and angry.

Pretty much a daily routine in this madness.
