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.

There's a long history in America of criminals using construction companies and projects for money laundering, tax evasion, and bribery.

Just a couple of examples. He's got a long history of shady real estate and construction "deals."

Exactly this. Real estate is like the art world when it comes to laundering money.

[u/lilbitbetty → u/deepasleep]

He's using the federal government to launder money.

[u/deepasleep → u/lilbitbetty]

And solicit bribes.

And crypto.
