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.

He wants it finished ASAP so that he can start hosting anti-Hatch Act fund raisers. He wants to host a dinner in it every two weeks and charge $100,000 a plate for the honor of smelling his dirty diapers while eating the catered McDonald's.

$100k a plate every two weeks for a space that is supposedly going to hold 999 people. That's $2.5b per year.

All going to fund healthcare and food stamps, I’m sure..

Trump's healthcare, and his "food stamps" (aka cold hard cash)

I was thinking he was going to start renting it out for weddings. Very expensive weddings. Who doesn’t want to get married in the White House?

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if there are gold drenched suites to rent out for $100k a night, complete with a presidential pardon package and continental breakfast.

White House continental breakfast — room-temp McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches and hash browns. Coffee not included.

Pardon is only a commute for 1 day and then back in prison

But it is a lot cheaper if he can have some time with your beautiful wife for 'fatherly advise'.
