He still isn't allowed to build, just demolish. I assume he demolished first to force the hand of the build approvers.

They don't even have coherent plans yet... There's stairways leading nowhere and windows facing walls

The point was the demolition, I'm not sure why but someone has been talking to Trump non-stop about the ballroom to do it

Maybe it's some weird sexist thing, maybe it's just because they hate America... But the demolition was the point here, someone wanted to get rid of the east wing

He wants to build a big monument to himself, and they won't let him be on Mt Rushmore.

So he's going to build this enormous monument to himself and attach it to the most iconic, most photographed building in America, so that any future photo will have the Trump Ballroom looming over everything, and they will remember him.

That's why I'm saying that IF (a big IF) we get out of this mess, the second thing the new president should do is order the destruction of that architectural atrocity, and rebuild the original East Wing, and make Trump pay quadruple out of his pocket for the whole thing.

I say it should be the second thing, because the first order should be to arrest Trump and all his henchmen, and send them to Gitmo for extensive interrogation, before they book it to the Argentina sanctuary he just bought that for them with taxpayer money.

Oh, for sure, that's definitely what Trump wants and tearing down that symbol of depravity will be a massive healing moment for the country

But Trump's mind is soup. He's not controlling anything, someone keeps talking to him about the ballroom so he'll repeat it for the cameras

Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller is Trump's Wormtongue, whispering poison into his ear, and encouraging to lean into his worst instincts.

I think he just generally doesn't want to acknowledge that he doesn't have permission from someone.

His brain is soup. He's out there talking about warning Hegseth about Bin Laden last year, he said 300 million Americans die every year to fentanyl, it can only good... He's not running the show

I'm sure that he also wouldn't want to admit he needs permission, but his mind is not functioning at a level where he can grasp details like that

And he keeps talking about the ballroom. Trump only remembers the last conversation he had, so someone is pointing him at the ballroom for some reason. We saw it when Kirk was shot... When asked for comment he said it was terrible and then launched into another speech about the ballroom

And whoever is pushing this has to know the plans aren't even close to ready. So they must have another goal

getting a secret hot mic on various crowd members at events like this would be invaluable, whether it was installed by the party in control of the state or some other entity.

They have concepts of plans you haven't heard of that are much better than the plans you have heard of!

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

They don't even have coherent plans yet... There's stairways leading nowhere and windows facing walls They got AI to design it? Who the fuck let Trump have access to AI?

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 4 points 2 months ago

Lmao yes, project 2025 is like 90% AI. The tarrif numbers were AI. Hell, if you look at one of the first executive orders, the one that un-recognizes trans people, about 3 paragraphs in it begins to correctly identify the difference between sex and gender for like an entire page

So it's a retarded Winchester House?

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 7 points 2 months ago

Who's gonna stop him if the building starts? Laws don't matter, and never have for the rich.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago

Maybe each successive bad emperor will demolish a wing and just leave a hole in the ground until it’s all gone.
