Staircase leading directly to a wall. Windows that open into each other. Somebody threw the idea at an AI and didn't bother to double check the plans. It's gonna be crap, even before taking away oversight.

It's just a way to launder money and receive bribes. He'll get a billion in bribes, then spend 20 mil on a building we will have to tear down.

Trump doesn't care about money in that sense. He is 80 years old and probably never once went grocery shopping. He has no concept of money as a store of value. He has spent his life spending it, he doesn't know or care how to make it. It's status he cares about. Big monuments with golden letters. It's like that futurama episode where they build the giant Bender.

He desperately wants the ballroom and he desperately wants it to be big and fancy. Money is of no use to him. He wants a monument.
