White House Demolished
Trump’s demolition of the White House is completely illustrative of his demolition of the U.S. Presidency, and the shredding of Our Constitution.
Just
as The Constitution is by, for, and of The American People, so too is Our
House. Trump is just a tenant.
This
Tenant, though, has taken over The House and redesigns it more to his liking,
(Mara Largo-Style).
The
new building, which, make no mistake, is in fact, an entire new building attached
to the White House, will now dwarf the original structure.
Trump’s
Grand Ballroom is nearly twice the size of The White House. According to
whitehouse.gov, the Ground Floor, State Floor, and residence floors of the
White House are approximately 55,000 square feet. This number does not include
the West or East Wings.
The
New Trump Grand Ballroom (Mar–a–Lago–style) will be approximately 90,000 square feet, with a seating capacity of about 650 people and the ability to accommodate up to 990 people. https://www.google.com/search?q=how+big+is+the+white+house+ballroom+going+to+be&sca_esv
Do Americans want this lavish expansion?
No. Polls show an overall rejection of
Trump’s Grand Palace (Mara Largo-style). In the YouGov America poll, released
Wednesday, 53 percent of Americans said they strongly or somewhat disapprove
“of the decision to demolish part of the East Wing of the White House as part
of the renovations,” https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5569341-trump-white-house-ballroom-disapproval/
This
News as Trump’s overall Approval Rating hovers in the 37% Range.
The East Wing demolition also displayed
Trump’s disdain for Presidential Norms. His unilateral command to destroy a
historic portion of a National Treasure is typical of his dictatorial ways. While
the Trump team claims to have met with the National Park Service (which maintains White House grounds) and others, that meeting was primarily to explain the already progressing project, rather than to gather input. Neither Congress nor The
White House Historical Society were invited into the planning and procedure of the
new construction. Thus, Jackie Kennedy’s completely redesigned and restored East
Wing was completely Demolished this week.
Just
as Trump is completely Demolishing our Democracy.
Organize.
Advocate. Oppose.
