32. Whoever gets the task
Fri Dec 5, 2025, 09:49 AM

will need a whole team, just to handle the work change orders that Trump will most certainly rain down on the contractor.........

And the fun will be also watching the gawdy Trump Style when it comes to choosing the ton of furnishings including dining room tables and chairs, the plates, the silverware, etc etc etc

I'm sure that once again, he will hit up the Corporations, and Oligarchs for money to buy those things. And, of course add his customary 50% handling fee......If he has the taxpayers pay, his grifting runs the risk of being publicized.

At any rate, with his health, I can't conceive that he will live long enough to see the completion. Or avoid impeachment from the Republicans who are getting more and more upset with his going off the rails......
