If it doesn't get built, that'll be a devastating psychic blow to Trump. He wants it so, so bad.

If it does get built, it really should be burned down. Controlled burn. Deliberate. It'd be like a ritual cleansing for the nation.

My opinion is we should restore the East wing, but in my ideal world, it'd be devoted to government work and the Offices of the First Lord/Lady be reduced significantly.
