Word around dc is that the dems are winning the midterms, and there will be aggressive oversight into the donors who funded the ballroom. I expect there to be an unfinished building there for some time.

Good. I hope they get audited so we can find out if these fatcats got tax deductions for their contributions - which would in fact make the ballroom taxpayer-funded.

They’ll probably find that Bezos paid to have an AWS data center in the revised bunker.

Would assume most of the donated money has "disappeared".

Guy who has trouble climbing stairs plans ballroom that is accessed by stairs. Lots and lots of stairs. Including stairs that don’t lead to entrances. I get that Trump himself will have internal access. Are the stairs all just for show? The architect does know about ADA compliance, right?

It is so infuriating that this guy can go destroy these national institutions without any pushback.

Yes. I’m pausing here to fondly remember that video of Trump with the Bald Eagle. The Eagle resisted.

Best outcome-- we still have a dirt pile in early 2029, and it's turned into a library and center for the study of US government and constitutional law.

He really is putting Hitler’s bunker under there so he’ll never have to leave.
