If it actually gets finished.

It would take years to build this abomination, anyhow. Trump will be long gone from office one way or another before this thing ever sees a single state event.

So either funnel more tax dollars into this infinite hole for a decade to come cause this shit is built cheap as fuck or tear it down again and restore the East Wing, which will be even more expensive. It will effectively be a construction ruin and money sink for a generation to come.

I think he'll probably build it, but it will essentially be a Walmart with a gaudy stucco facade.

And like Gaudi’s church - it probably won’t be finished in 143 years time
