no question he is an incompetent idiot. but I think the lack of planning was intentional. he wanted to tear something apart right away so he could whine about how wasteful it would be to not go ahead with the ballroom since the east wing is no more. break things and then say "hey, we have to replace the broken things, cant let them remain broken". similar routine to rushing the morons from doge in to start ripping things apart before anyone could stop it. I hope maga voters spend the rest of their lives rueing their stupidity.
