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.
Let’s not waste even more money tearing it down, just show the public the bunker underneath, maybe open it up to tourists, and get some decent designers to zhuzh up the ballroom after we’ve used it for the tribunals for this entire administration and their collaborators.
Repossess trump’s assets and sell them off to cover the cost of restoring the Whitehouse.
