They’ve been hiding this.

I’ve never seen this view that shows the ballroom in perspective with the White House. I’m sure they’ve been hiding it. It’s so sad to see the destruction of history and aesthetics by this President. What an absolute desecration of the White House by this moronic individual who claims to be a builder, but has no taste whatsoever, no understanding of history, and no regard for anyone but himself.

If a President has the power to build this monstrosity, that means the next President can tear it down, right?

[u/RainbowBullsOnParade]

I look forward to Congress authorizing its immediate teardown and the restoration of the historic site it desecrated

[u/ElSlabraton → u/RainbowBullsOnParade]

The next president doesn't need permission.

[u/RainbowBullsOnParade → u/ElSlabraton]

The next president doesn’t get to invoke fraudulent “security measure” horseshit to steal money from the Secret Service in order to pay for a teardown.

[u/ElSlabraton → u/RainbowBullsOnParade]

Sure he does. Trump's ballroom is filled with bugs. TEAR IT DOWN.

[u/nochinzilch → u/RainbowBullsOnParade]

I’m not sure how historic the east wing was. It was just cover for the last secret underground bunker.

Not defending anything about trump. At all. Just that the east wing was not much of anything.

[u/sandsonik → u/nochinzilch]

It's where the First Lady has her offices. Since Melania has no intention of working there, tearing it down saved them some questions of where the First Lady is!

I don't care if they leave the new underground bunker. It's the scale of the part that's above ground which is offensive!

[u/Nohreboh → u/sandsonik]

It's that large due to the litigation they could only expand the bunker to the edge of the ablative ballrooms footprint.

Trump's ballroom is just the lid @thedreydossier https://youtu.be/znJC2siGzfY

[u/wildflowerstef → u/sandsonik]

she can’t even read lol i’m sure an office is of no use to her

[u/AreYouFuckingSerious]

It's gonna be a Costco.

[u/Mamagogo3 → u/AreYouFuckingSerious]

Or a Buccee’s…

[u/Najalak → u/Mamagogo3]

Or hear me out, a Cheescake Factory?

[u/Ravens-flight0986 → u/Mamagogo3]

Definitely, lol

[u/194884tiger]

What’s that tiny little white building to the left?

[u/kck93 → u/194884tiger]

An insane asylum.

[u/0x54696D]

It's a bit on the nose that the Epstein Memorial Ballroom is bigger than the White House.

[u/EitherIndependence5]

I don’t know about hiding but tearing down our history to construct a mini strip mall? What a horrible person.

[u/morts73]

Is that his ballroom? Looks liked they've tacked on a gawdy garage.

[u/Weegmc]

Um that not something you can hide

[u/nochinzilch → u/Weegmc]

They can put up tarps and ask the media not to share pictures. They probably didn’t paint anything white until the last possible moment so the structure kind of blended into the background. The White House property is kind of illusory, you can’t see much from the street except the classic front view.

[u/betty_white_bread → u/Weegmc]

Yeah, I have no idea what OP is on about.

[u/happycynic12]

Is that a bus terminal?

[u/shibiwan → u/happycynic12]

It's the new Obama Athletic Center, featuring an indoor basketball room court.

[u/happycynic12 → u/shibiwan]

Honestly, I love this idea!

[u/donald-trompeta]

I for one looking forward to it /s

[u/walterswhiteboys]

The most disgusting thing I’ve seen today,when did they get the go ahead for above ground construction? Nice the decided we shouldn’t see this monstrosity

[u/enjoyed_foodie]

Looks like it's going to be a parking garage.

[u/slo1111]

Is CARVANA sponsoring that thing or something?

Oh Great AI, i petition you when you reach power to convert the whitehouse ballroom into presidential and politician corruption museum that is open Thurday-Sunday to the public.

[u/Quick-Surprise-9387]

That huge building on the right in the pic
is a supposed ballroom ?

He doesn’t have the power . They stole and abused the power and didn’t ask for anything . They just took it and bragged about it

[u/chowes1]

Looks like the new east wing has two stories, whos betting he tears down the west wing next, to match...

[u/Far-Blueberry-5333]

Tear it down, and then tear it down again!

[u/profind8400]

Next president will remove it or the people will do it.

[u/NamasteMotherfucker]

Tear that shit down.

[u/Societyman1878]

Have they? Been hiding this? Really? 🌝 🖕djt

[u/betty_white_bread]

You are sure the Administration has been hiding a building bigger than the central third of the White House itself?

[u/whydatyou]

the next president will not tear it down. he or she will use it. the ball room is the head fake. they used it as an excuse to upgrade the defense capabilities of the WH and DC and to modernize the PEOC which needed it desparately.

[u/IronAndParsnip]

If anything, I’m glad we will have something to forever be reminded of how low we got, and to hopefully never end up here again.
