Donald Trump’s massive East Wing ballroom project is poised to get its final approval from a government commission that oversees planning for federal buildings and land in the nation’s capital, despite receiving over 32,000 comments from the public overwhelmingly opposing the construction.
The National Capital Planning Commission is expected to take a final vote to approve plans for the ballroom on Thursday, marking the latest clearance for the project in a process that has been on a fast track since Trump suddenly demolished the East Wing last October.
Some 9,000 pages of public comments to the NCPC released ahead of the meeting detailed major objections from Americans who expressed concerns about the project’s size and scope, cost and destruction of history, among other complaints.
Dismantling it would be a further waste of money. The best thing they could do is rename it the Barrack Hussein Obama Ballroom.
It would be worth the loss of money to deter future presidential vanity projects.
If Trump’s still alive to see the ballroom finished, hopefully he’s still alive to see it knocked down.
