He LIED! Imagine that?
First, he said his 200 million dollar ballroom would not impact the existing East Wing building. He said it was being funded by donations, not tax dollars. Should we believe any of that? I do not.
Then, this week the demolition began.
Now, we learn the entire East Wing is to be demolished! Now, the cost of the ballroom is expected to be 300 million dollars.
We all know government spending is never what they claim it will be.
Did the Donald approach Congress? Did he consult with the National Trust for Historic Preservation? Did he consult with historians? Did he ever, perhaps most importantly, consult with the American people?
Where is government oversight? Where is transparency?
The question remains--why? The Donald says people have clamored for 150 years that we need an extravagant White House ballroom. Funny, I've not once in my years heard of a movement decrying this. This is nothing short of a dictator wannabe flexing his muscles.
The current East Wing will be gone in a matter of days.
If this does not scream "I do not intend to leave office--not ever," I do not know what is.
I anxiously look forward to the "No Kings 3" rallies.
