And charge the costs to those companies that paid for this monstrosity.

(543 posts)Right wing keeps bringing up public executions, maybe we should give them what they want. I say this in jest, of course, I don't believe our government should be killing our own people. If it is going to look as horrible as it seems, it should be razed. It will make the White House look like a minor feature of the trump Taj Mahal, part 2. This will be unacceptable. The White House should not be overshadowed by any ballroom.

(131,217 posts)It will be the cheapest possible construction - particle board, plywood, gold spray paint and styrofoam geegaws from Hobby Lobby and chandeliers from a bankrupt casino - so Trump can pocket whatever funds are left over; it will probably be such low-grade garbage that it will have to be hauled to a landfill.

(7,367 posts)Next President is going to busy as hell trying to undo the mess he created here and in the world. I'm going to guess that TSF will name the room after himself, but the next President will change the name. And maybe, over time, they will get rid of the overt zealous use of gold.

(93,900 posts)I can't see it being useful at all . Maybe if they put on some big events but even that would br so few.
That's why it would have to be torn down or turned into something else entirely where it would be used . Becsuse if it's just kept as a ballroom it will just be a huge structure that gets very little to no use.
