Images of the demolition of parts of the East Wing went viral on Monday, and Treasury’s headquarters next door to the White House has a front-row seat
The Treasury Department instructed employees not to share photos of the demolition of parts of the White House’s East Wing after images of construction equipment dismantling the facade of the building went viral online.
Treasury’s headquarters is located next door to the East Wing, giving employees there a front-row seat to the construction of Trump’s $250 million ballroom. The new project is set to replace parts of the East Wing.
Nothing says, “I am proud of what we are doing!” quite like a gag order preventing it from becoming public knowledge.
Wait’ll you find out about Iraq War II: Gee Dubz
If that isn’t the perfect metaphor for what Trump’s done to this government, I don’t know what is.
Reality has jumped the shark
That is not dismantling. That is demolition.
Because they are building hidden bathrooms that can fit a copy machine and boxes of stolen nuclear sub secrets.
They should put gender neutral bathrooms in, then people on both sides of the political spectrum will be mad
We haven’t seen a single mock-up of what this is going to look like. Knowing his taste, it will be a monstrosity.
We have, actually.
Lots of “gold” trim. 🤮
Completely unrelated, but just like Putin’s office. Definitely no similarities there. None whatsoever.
I thought all those employees would be staying home, isn’t the government on shutdown?
The government employees are at home; these are privately funded contractors, just like the ballroom reno itself.
All for a room for rich people to spin around in
Why didn’t they just blow it up? Y’know, like the towers.
. . . what.
