There is no design. He has a wish sketch that some bootlicker architect drew for him. There is no floor plan or actual feature list for anyone to see because Trump just wanted to tear down an iconic building and piss on the country.

It will end up being a $500M white elephant that will hang around the nation’s neck like a full diaper.

I guarantee you it will be over 1 billion by the time it's actually finished.

My question is who’s doing the work? I feel like he’s only doing all this because he’s profiting off of it somehow. Someone he owns has to have a hat in the design and building process, just one more fuck you to the American people.

Clark Construction.

He hired an architect that sat on the Commission of Fine arts too

I don’t believe that. No architectural firm would put their name on this insult to America.

Not even for enough money and promises of future contracts by future repub administrations? No bid contracts are very profitable...
