Well, well, well...

1. Putin's fingerprints are on everything Trump does and says.

Putin is having the time of his life destroying the US.

[orangecrush]

2. I'm sure it's purely coincidental

[Irish_Dem]

3. Coincidences take a lot of planning.

[Hieronymus Phact]

17. old army saying

Once is a mistake,
twice is a coincidence,
three times is enemy action.

[orangecrush]

30. Its a true saying

especially in this case

[Irish_Dem]

32. Bingo.

[PCIntern]

33. The three parts of Ian Fleming's Goldfinger

Except the first part is Happenstance as in once is happenstance.

[calimary]

54. Makes sense.

Old army saying:

Once is a mistake,
twice is a coincidence,
three times is enemy action.

I had not heard that one before, but it’s a keeper for sure.

[homegirl]

67. It isn't

coincidental that the first work day after SEVEN MILLION AMERICANS held a NO KINGS EVENT, that Drumpf in his rage tore down the East Wing of the White House.

Donald had a temper tantrum and he desttroyed part of the White House!!!

[EYESORE 9001]

16. May his life become even less enjoyable with every new day

Poot can’t feel too comfortable about anything else right now, and it appears the guy he wanted to eff-up the USA is even effing- up that plan. He can’t be confident that the people of the USA will tolerate this execrable shitheel regime for much longer. If he believes that, we must prove him wrong.

[Irish_Dem]

34. Putin knows the American people are unlikley to rise up against fascism

in any meaningful way.

[evolves]

29. More like "footprints,"

since he walks all over donnie…

[Magoo48]

61. Perhaps he wants to share a pure cane sugar Diet Coke and big Mac with Pootie in the ballroom.

Afterwords, a long, leisurely stroll down to the situation room where they can imagine world conquest and be alone.

[Irish_Dem]

62. This would be quite fitting.

Putin can get a look at his handiwork up close and personal.

[Jilly_in_VA]

4. Parcon the crudity

but he doesn't have balls enough for his golden bathroom at Mar-a-Lardo.

[GoCubsGo]

5. Just like all the gold shit he put up in the Oval Office.

It's just like all of Sweet Daddy Vlad's offices and properties. All of it is fucking hideous.

[dixiegrrrrl]

43. Hideous and very distracting

Watched his press conference yesterday from the Oval. He was sitting with all that fake gold stuff glued to fireplace next to him,
distracting from his appearance,fortunately. Unbelievably tacky.

[Dave Bowman]

6. So from now on he shall be know at Czar Krasnov the first.

Or maybe Crazy Yvan.

[tanyev]

9. Maybe the No Kings! protests should be No Czars!

[multigraincracker]

39. Even Burger Kings. Good name for him, by the way.

[Joinfortmill]

12. Love this

[thomski64]

7. ..my bad

he doesn't want to be King,
...........he wants to be Czar Krasnov

[thomski64]

10. You beat me to Dave

[eppur_se_muova]

8. My first thought was "Versailles" -- actually, most tacky, overdone ballrooms are based on the tastes of French monarchs

[Wednesdays]

38. Right. Starting with Peter the Great,

Russia wanted to emulate France. They spoke French at the Russian court, for example.

[shanti]

56. Exactly

And he’s planning his own Arc de Trump too.

[eppur_se_muova]

57. Thanks for adding that. nt

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

11. Gaudy OPulence: G/OP. From the Giddy Over Putin crowd.

Hopefully, the architects have factored in enough Porta-Potties for the MAGA attendees.

[Hope22]

13. When Putin moves in he will feel right at home........nt

[FBaggins]

14. That's a tough sell if you've seen the existing Trump ballroom at MAL

Which he did about 20 years ago

[TommyT139]

52. Funny thing....

While it is hard to pinpoint the beginning of Trump and Putin’s relationship, Trump claimed to have met Putin while Trump was still a private citizen.

Among other times, in Oct. 2013, Trump mentioned knowing Putin in a late night interview with David Letterman. “I’ve done a lot of business with the Russians,” Trump said, adding that they’re “smart” and “tough.” He went on to say about meeting Putin, “He’s a tough guy. I met him once,” though he never clarified when this first meeting was.

https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/what-is-donald-trumps-relationship-with-vladimir-putin-a-timeline

So even if Trump is lying about having met Putin, his envy was already in action back then.

[aggiesal]

15. Put-In will be the first person to see it,.when it's finished ....

He needs to get Put-In's stamp of approval.

[Srkdqltr]

18. The ladies i sew with on Mondays don't think Trump needs more room for his balls assuming he has any.

[rpannier]

19. Next president, that's near the top of what I'm dismantling

And sending him the bill

[FBaggins]

27. Oh... I doubt that I would demolish a completed extension just to spite him

But it won't bear his name (or that of any funding corporations), and the decor will change so it's unrecognizable.

[orangecrush]

31. I would

And I'd have it hauled and dumped at Mar A Lago

[calimary]

68. I would, too.

Dismantle everything he installed, after his years in the White House are over.
Restore the White House to how it was before he started fucking with it!
Have what was removed trucked down to Mar-a-Lago and delivered to the front gates.

Let him decide what to do with it.

[Clouds Passing]

20. Gauche

[JCMach1]

21. Its literally a throne room

[dalton99a]

22. From 2017:

[IronLionZion]

23. MARA Make America Russia Again

next he'll give Alaska back to them

[Cherokee100]

24. Brasnov wants

Brasov wants his boss, to feel at home when he takes over.

[Wounded Bear]

25. All of this kind of monumental shit is ultimately based on the Palace of Versailles...

built in the reign of Louis the XIV of france, otherwise known as The Sun King, one of the longest reigning kings in European history.

He was also known for the many wars he got into.

[Ocelot II]

26. Only cheaper.

It will certainly be constructed with the cheapest materials, and he'll pocket the rest of the money after he stiffs the contractors. But at least if it's cheaply made, it will be easier to demolish eventually.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

28. Hitler also had a ballroom

Link to tweet

[sop]

46. Hitler's architecture...

https://hitler-pics.com/2023/05/06/hitler-architecture/

[dedl67]

47. That would certainly add a nice touch to the White House grounds

Also, the "Volkshalle", designed by Albert Speer, never had the chance to be built. The architectural plans may still be around someplace, and since it suits Trump's style, he might consider, say, tearing down the Capitol and erecting that in its place, named of course, after himself..

[COL Mustard]

35. In best Boris Badenov voice

Is coincidence. Nothing but coincidence! Nothing to see here, so moving along, please.

[bdamomma]

36. Fucking

Russia of course. The cretin hates anything American and Democracy.

[Botany]

37. Pelosi to Trump, "With you all roads lead to Putin."

&t=6s

[liberalla]

40. Of course it is!

[ChicagoTeamster]

41. Hitler also remodeled the Chancellor's office at the Reichstag and another building to add ballrooms and a conservatory

Although the pictures in the MT bluesky post do show compelling similarities, I don't have any pictures of what Hitler's ballrooms looked like, he redesigned the Chancellory and other buildings. So maybe Trump is following Hitler's playbook and Kremlin design because so much of the Third Reich's property was destroyed. Either way, he's cobbling together everything from the examples of other Authoritarians and Fascists.

[dflprincess]

42. Just remembering

It did not end well for the Tsar.

[Ocelot II]

44. Or for Marie Antoinette.

[sop]

45. It's a larger version of the Grand Ballroom at Mar-a-Lago, built by Trump in 2004.

[HarryM]

50. Disgusting! nt

[pansypoo53219]

48. looks like the oval office as well.

[HarryM]

49. I thought it would be

The New Reich Chancellery in Berlin.

[LiberalArkie]

51. Trump and Epstein probably had "Massages" there

[QueerDuck]

53. Looks like the acoustics will be HORRIBLE! An echo chamber.

No public speeches or toasts will be understood. No "ballroom" orchestral ensemble will sound decent... any piano and string quartet will sound like a music box playing at the bottom of a steel drum.

Burn it down.

[fierywoman]

55. I find it weird that a man who clearly doesn't know how to dance (see

inauguration party photos) wants a ballroom ...

{{{ s.a.r.c.a.s.m. }}}

[marble falls]

58. It's modeled after Putin's colon. Something TACO is familiar with.

[orangecrush]

63. ...

[The Conductor]

59. Well I Guessed Wrong...

I thought it was the Reichs Chancellery.

[Trueblue Texan]

60. My bad! I figured it would be modeled on...

...Jeffrey Epstein's playroom.

[Iggo]

64. Something Russian?

[orangecrush]

66. Yup

[Smilo]

65. Nah, it's after the best little whore house

in mar a lago.

[Rhiannon12866]

69. Yikes! I should have seen it, I've been there

And it is enormous, with thousands of rooms, and yes, filled with gold and art, built in 1714 for Peter the Great - of course TFG would want to copy the outsized lavish rooms. There's not room for anything like this anywhere near D.C.
