3. Anyone who thinks he's going to stop with the East Wing is extremely naive.

He already lied about this.

It wasn’t going to touch the WH at all. Then it was just the facade of the East Wing. They demolished the entire East Wing.

It was going to cost $200 million. Now it’s up to $350 million.

He needs to be stopped.
