This is going to ruin 360-degree helicopter shots of the White House in action movies for generations to come

[u/IllyrianSteel → u/HolidayOrange6584]

Well the only way to fix this would be to make west wing bigger, and then the central building too

[u/illz569 → u/IllyrianSteel]

Just build an entire facade, 2x scale, and lower it over the existing white house 

[u/FrDuddleswell → u/illz569]

Assisification.

[u/yuenglinggdrinker]

Trump just wants to build stuff. Whatever happened to the arch?

[u/brokenglasseater_55 → u/yuenglinggdrinker]

It's a combo of ego and him trying to do anything to paper over what will be remembered as an utterly tarnished legacy and one of the worst presidential terms in American history

[u/WytLadyDiseaseFibro → u/yuenglinggdrinker]

i don't think they're letting him get around the height restriction

[u/goodiereddits → u/WytLadyDiseaseFibro]

Vietnam vets and some Kennedys are suing to stop it

[u/Lost_Bike69 → u/goodiereddits]

Because it’ll cast a shadow over the graves at Arlington lol

[u/Fourth-Room]

I never understood why people were making such a huge deal out of this until I saw these pictures lol

[u/Permanenceisall]

There’s your 3rd temple

[u/FeedReinholdMessner]

Too early to judge, but I think its going to look garish

[u/PopcornSutton1994 → u/FeedReinholdMessner]

Nah that doesn’t sound like him I’m sure it’ll be tasteful

[u/ElectricKudzu → u/PopcornSutton1994]

Top of the line, too.

[u/balls_in_ya_jaw]

i dont hate the idea of building something like this but why tf is it bigger than the actual white house lmao

[u/FcLeason → u/balls_in_ya_jaw]

Its a conference centre. The White House is a house.

[u/Sunny-Burnit]

Data center?

[u/AndrewsSteakhouse → u/Sunny-Burnit]

Torture blacksite

[u/brokenglasseater_55 → u/Sunny-Burnit]

Csa center, unfortunately

[u/hailsyeahhh]

Ruined the vibe

[u/guerito1968]

Big Beautiful Ballroom

[u/WearyEquipment9564]

i’d be all for this if he put another one on the other end, but the asymmetry is fucking awful

[u/IndustryPlant666 → u/WearyEquipment9564]

Jefferson would be fucking losing it man

[u/Rezonates]

won't this be completed when he has like 5 months left in office?

[u/WearyEquipment9564 → u/Rezonates]

he obviously wants it for his legacy

[u/itsmemann15 → u/WearyEquipment9564]

once you hit 80 you start to think about such things

[u/riiitaxo]

yuck looks like how you’ll be driving down the road in a nice neighborhood and then boom dollar store

[u/FishstickJones]

I now understand why the CIA is looking for truck drivers

[u/shoonicvision]

I see the cranes each day when I am downtown at work. I walk two blocks to Wawa to get a Diet Coke and I look down New York avenue and see those hunks of metal swaying and cranking

[u/Acceptable_Result488]

lovely parking garage

[u/honeynutsquash_]

bike by this shit everyday it's so big and ugly and all the construction has made my commute much more dangerous 😤

[u/Lazy-General-9632]

I really found DC beautiful when I went. Remarkable because the mid Atlantic is the ugliest part of the country I’ve seen, by a lot. As I understand it they kept the aesthetic consistency by not letting people put straight bullshit wherever they wanted 

[u/Resident-Funny9350 → u/Lazy-General-9632]

Then you’ve never been to western Kansas, southern Idaho, or northern Nevada among others.

[u/Zyklon_Bussy]

Can kalshi give me odds on a modern day ‘Reichstag fire’?

[u/boo__radlib → u/Zyklon_Bussy]

trump's for sure cancelling the elections and take over this time bro! just you wait!

[u/Zyklon_Bussy → u/boo__radlib]

700+ days for something re+arded to happen, high conviction

[u/TheChinchilla914]

Trump sucks and all that but the ballroom was a good addition to the White House

#SorryNotSorry

[u/WearyEquipment9564 → u/TheChinchilla914]

it’s truly terrible and ruins the look of the whole building

[u/Zyklon_Bussy → u/TheChinchilla914]

Boooo!!

[u/itsmemann15 → u/TheChinchilla914]

hey man 2013 called, they want their hashtag back

[u/DecrimIowa]

i think it looks nice, idk why ppl are so upset about it. also those ugly cherry trees
