and Americans are watching it all disappear.
“The ballroom project is expected to cost upwards of $250 million, which Trump said in July would be paid by himself and donors.
“It will be beautiful,” Trump said at the time. “It won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be – it will be near it, but not touching it. And pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of. It’s my favorite.”
It was unclear why the demolition to the East Wing’s walls was occurring despite Trump’s promise to not touch the existing building. The White House did not respond to a request for comment on Monday.”
QUINNSCOMMENTARY 
Only stupid gullible people believe promises from a person like Trump. The USA is full of stupid gullible people. Sad.

“It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.”
Yesterday, former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton cut to the heart of President Donald J. Trump’s destruction of the East Wing of the White House.
Indeed, that might have been the whole point. After saying in July that the ballroom he planned to build would not touch the East Wing, the president tore into the building on Monday, the first workday after about seven million people turned out for the No Kings protests to demonstrate their opposition to his administration.
There are currently no approved plans to rebuild, no permits, no signs of weatherproofing for a construction project begun just before winter, no indication that the history or the paintings or the artifacts in the East Wing were preserved. There is only the destruction of the People’s House.
Today, Luke Broadwater of the New York Times reported that Trump will demolish the entire East Wing. According to a senior administration official, the demolition should be finished by this weekend.

I’ve just read this for the third time. Strictly speaking, the ballroom will never touch the East Wing because the East Wing will be gone. Maybe that’s the spin his assistant liars will put on it.

With approval and not destructing what was there and without lying about what he was doing.
People who support and or even accept this man’s behavior need to examine their priorities and values.

Soo true. The frog in the pot cartoon hits the nail on the head. People who say ‘get over it’ are too ignorant to realize what is being done. Being okay with the erosion of truth is not okay and everything being done by this administration is accomplishing that deception and the frog accepts it until it realizes it’s cooked and of course then it is too late.

Examine their priorities and values? That’s a concept waaay too advanced for those people.
