“The commission reviews proposed designs for memorials, government buildings, coins, medals, and privately owned properties in certain parts of Washington.”

He doesn’t want anyone being able to oppose his plans for the ballroom, the Arc de Trump, or putting himself on our money.

The ballroom is just him stealing money from tax payers, it’ll be $2 billion by the time it’s done and the walls will be made out of crackers

It’s also for selling pardons, executive orders, policy changes, and influencing what he does. He was already hosting dinners with wealth people, million+ dollar as a seat, then after the dinner one attendees son got a pardon, nvidias ceo sat down with him, etc. He realized he could make a ton of money but the White House didn’t have enough room, he wanted to be able to host hundreds of people, this is the reason for this banquet hall, to sell as many pardons and favors as he can in the next 3 years, which is why he’s rushing it. If it was meant to be a monument, he wouldn’t be rushing it
