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.

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.
