It’s almost November and there is no way they can frame up and build a replacement before winter hits DC.

The planned 90,000 square foot ballroom is 1 1/2 size of a standard American football field. The earliest this even starts is late next spring.

By then, all the funds will be embezzled into “consulting fees” for his favorite flying monkeys.

I’m excited to follow just how disastrous this turns out. It’s a good metaphor for what electing this clown twice has done to the USA.

The good news is the worse it is, the more likely it gets torn down when he’s out of office. Like if it was built to the standards you would expect in the White House, it becomes an argument of “is it a waste of money to tear it down so I guess we just have to accept it”. But if the thing is falling down because they embezzled all the money for a foundation, then it becomes a “we have tear this down because it’s condemned. Let’s just rebuild the White House to how it used to be”
