I could swear that I saw a clip last night of the area for the 90,000 sq. ft ballroom for an 80 year old man ....

who can’t dance and they already have done a lot of the excavation for the foundation. Look @
“them” to start laying the block for the foundation this weekend. Trump and company are going to ram
the construction of that garish unneeded golden grift palace as fast as possible in order to stop any
complaints or legal actions against it. The mother fucker tore down parts of the White House that
go back to Teddy Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Jackie Kennedy, and roses that go back to Mary Lincoln
just because he wants to be a dictator. Btw aren’t expenditures on the White House and its grounds
supposed to go through.



Trump and Miller tore this down and are building a tacky ass palace for grifting and to show that Trump
really is the boss.

Call your Congresscritter and both of your Senators and demand they stop building that eyesore.

This is the way the mob works, always drawing smaller players into their schemes so they can blackmail them into doing even more egregious stuff.

Sorry to keep reposting this link, but it explains the risks involved better than anything I can write. They want it dismantled before he dies.

I think it's deliberate.

Thx for the link. I remember that incident brutally well. I recalled it when I saw the photo of Trump yukking it up with Lavrov in the Oval right after DJT got inaugurated the first time. Wondered how many bugs his guests left behind.
Trump has been as effective as any nuke — more so, really.
