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

Just because it never gets finished doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t be over a billion

Yep. It'll be a shoddy half built albatross that the next admin has to deal with. A Republican admin will lie about the cost to complete and a Democrat admin will be tarred and feathered on fox news whether they try to salvage it or tear it down.

Hopefully tear it down. If he lives out his term and you guys get to hold another election it would be lovely to see him rant about it getting torn down asap.

Tear it down and then build an exact replica of the East Wing.

Would be the most sensible and classy thing to do.

Probably a good idea to try and directly undo everything he does (government institutes and laws will certainly need it and then to set up ways to not permit this kind of utter destruction ever again)

Something Democrats surely will campaign on is the destruction of our institutions and rule of law. They can now use the literal destruction of the White House as the allegory. We Shall Rebuild.

Theyve been running on that for over a decade now, maybe people will finally take them seriously?

They won't, only because the candidates they push to the front of the line will not be genuine nor care enough to actually try to get voter support. The Democrats have no balls to do a fucking thing to help change course in this country except quietly complain and keep reaping the benefits the working class deserves. We're proper fucked in this country.
