White House ballroom project has become costlier and larger than originally anticipated
Donald Trump encouraged those working on the construction of his new White House ballroom project to disregard traditional permitting, zoning, and code requirements, according to a new report.
Since announcing the project in July, Trump’s ballroom has become larger, costlier and more destructive than initially thought – raising concerns about whether the president is following historical rules when it comes to a White House addition.
The ballroom’s capacity, initially thought to be 650, has been raised to 900. Its cost has nearly doubled from $200 million to $350 million. Its construction, which Trump initially said would not interfere with the integrity of the current White House, has led to the destruction of the East Wing.
Look on the bright side; hopefully it’ll catch on fire due to an electric short, or Canada, or something, during one of Trump’s shindigs and him and nine hundred of his “friends” will get trapped inside due to overcrowding and insufficient emergency exits and will burn to death in abject agony.

Please let this end the way I hope it will……
Burned down, fell over, sank into the swamp
I think we Canadians would be happy to help with any extensive remodeling your White House requires.
Maybe you can paint it orange this time.
yeah come give it the ol 1812 special please
Code requirements? Dude those are not just useless regulations. Those are for your safety and the soundness of the building. Only a complete moron signs off on a build that ignores building codes. But here we are.
I expect they’ll probably follow code anyway? Because you know as soon as dipshit is out of there, they’re going to have to inspect that thing for safety reasons. And the contractor probably doesn’t want the reputation of building absolute crap.
On the other hand, if he’s as good as picking construction contractors as he is at picking lawyers or cabinet positions, well…
Four Seasons Total Landscaping is about to land another big job
I’m sure it will be built by a contracting company incorporated just for this purpose. And after this, it will be dissolved. They’ll have no reputation to defend.
Seriously. i get ignoring zoning and permitting because fuck everyone else, but skipping CODE requirements just means your building fucking sucks.
I’ve seen what happens when a construction guy gets to build their own buildings out of sight of inspectors. It’s not pretty.
Shhhhhhh! Let him play in his castle. It keeps him quiet.
The mad King’s Follies.
Taking others land without permission is on brand of “American values” tho.
He’s only going back to its roots
Headline says he told them to disregard but the first sentence says he encouraged them to disregard.
Pick one and make it accurate…
And later is says he “told” them a second time, however are we to untangle this Gordian knot of language???
He has a history of destroying historical buildings if he has any opportunity.
All he’s doing is giving a future president an excuse to tear it down. Plus, visiting politicians and influential businesspeople usually don’t like to hang out in unsafe buildings.
Can’t say as much about submarines, though.
Everything he’s doing is probably going to have to be torn down and rebuilt.
Hey, Canada, that’s kind of your thing isn’t it? Seriously, though, please just burn the while fucking White House to the ground! (again) Cause we’re never gonna be able to get Diaper Donnie’s stench out, anyway…
Uh, it looks like you guys are well on your way to burning it down without our help.
probablycertainlyFTFY.
Even if by some miracle it isn’t an unsafe, condemned piece of shit, it’s still a blight and a travesty of historical proportions that will need to be corrected by restoring it to the previous design.
Just make sure those same fuckin billionaires who donated for this pony up the money for it’s restoration, too.
Yes! Disregard the code! Don’t even think about the building code!
And don’t worry, the ballroom certainly won’t fall down with you inside it, piggy!
I have never been horny before in my life, on account of being asexual, but the thought of this ballroom collapsing under shitty building practices while housing the top thousand richest bastards in society, is certainly making me feel something hormonal.
Never in your life? I always assumed asexual meant very rarely horny, not literally never. Is that common?
It’s a spectrum, but there are people who are literally never horny. It’s not common though.
We should be so lucky.
It’ll probably collapse on a kindergarten tour group while piggy is in Europe meeting with Putin.
Along those same lines, they should have a Wizard of Oz ball using the original snow recipe from the movie.
They’ll have to tear it down inside of ten years, I guarantee it.
I’d be surprised if he didn’t
White trash doing white trash shit
“No one knows more about construction than me.”
