Amid backlash over partial demolition of East Wing, White House reportedly intends to send blueprints
The White House has not submitted plans for Donald Trump’s new ballroom to the federal agency that oversees construction of federal buildings, though demolition is already under way.
On Tuesday, the White House told Reuters it intended to send plans to the National Capital Planning Commission, an agency that typically approves and monitors construction on federal buildings. Demolition began earlier this week, with reporters taking video of a backhoe ripping out chunks of the White House’s exterior.
The New York Times reported Wednesday, citing a senior administration official, that the ballroom plans will mean the demolition of the entire East Wing.
This is the most egregious neighborhood building code violation ever.
Busybody neighbors see obvious construction: “DO YOU HAVE A PERMIT FOR THAT??”
Trump: Mind yer own business.
Busybody neighbors: report it to municipal building code authorities
Trump: I suddenly need the govt to pay me $230 million settlement for the litigious mud they’ve dragged me through over the years, and that $230 million will come from taxpayers.
Methinks he owes the white house demolition crew $230 million, and you know how wealthy people refuse to ever pay for anything out of their own pocket.
