Fact #1 On July 31st he said he was building a 650 banquet room.Fact #2 In September preliminary work began.Fact #3 On October 20, 2025 people started to question what is going on and he now said it will hold 999. It also was increased to two stories!Fact #4 As a retied engineer no way can you have a major design change in two months. The drawings had to go reviews by the following federal agencies:
1. Designer / Architect2. Structural Engineer3. Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing (MEP) Engineers4. Code Compliance Reviewer / Building Official5. Historic Preservation Officer (I doubt very much Trump even considered getting their approval)6. Project Manager / Owner’s Representative7. Contractor / Construction Manager8. Regulatory Agencies / Environmental Review
Even if you ignore anything after #3 it still will take about an year from conception to shovel ready.
So what trump said we all lies… totals lies he had this work started at least last fall!
Also consider... President Trump appointed Will Scharf, a top White House aide, as the head of the NCPC on July 10, 2025. And it was Scharf who made a distinction between demolition work and actual construction, stating that the commission's jurisdiction is limited to the latter.
To me that sound like premeditation! That is fraud! He planned on doing the typical con man switch, sell you one thing and give you another... he playing us for a shill!
He lied when he said it was only going to build a "small ballroom" of 650... then wham... he pulls the rug out from under us. With the ol' bait and switch!
President Donald Trump is tearing down the East Wing to build a $250 million ballroom.PoliticoBy Heather Richards and Michael Doyle10/22/2025President Donald Trump’s move to demolish part of the White House to make way for a $250 million ballroom is eliciting outrage and calls for more oversight before any further changes are made.Images of a partially destroyed East Wing, first published by The Washington Post on Monday, sparked an outcry online and a quick defense from the White House.[...]Trump’s appointee as chair of the National Capital Planning Commission, his White House staff secretary Will Scharf, stoutly defended the White House’s work during the commission’s last videotaped public hearing, held Sept. 4.“I think it’s one of the most exciting construction projects in the modern history of the district,” Scharf said, “and I think any assertion that this commission should have been consulted earlier than it has been or than it will be is simply false and represents a misunderstanding of this commission’s role in that project.”Scharf said the commission “has long denied that it has jurisdiction over demolition and site preparation work for federal buildings, on federal property. What we deal with is essentially construction, vertical build.”
Sit up! Roll over! Beg! That's a good lapdog.
CBS News reported that,
By Arden Farhi, Jennifer JacobsOctober 23, 2025House Democrats, disturbed by what they see as the destruction of a historic landmark, are demanding answers about the forthcoming White House ballroom. In a letter to President Trump, a trio of Democrats expressed concern about "transparency, funding priorities, the physical integrity of the White House and the ethical integrity of the Administration it houses."Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, along with Democratic Reps. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona and Jared Huffman of California, wrote that decisions about the ballroom addition "were made in complete secrecy" and without "public disclosure or proper consultation."[...]Garcia, Huffman and Ansari asked the White House to turn over communication related to the ongoing demolition. They also requested architectural plans, a detailed budget for the project, a list of all donors and legal justifications for the structure.Democrats lack the power to unilaterally subpoena documents, so the letter amounts to a voluntary request — not a binding demand.
Okay. Who want to bet?
