    Great, let’s tear down a well-preserved historic building in pristine condition for no absolute reason at all!

      Might as well go back to the 1812 method of renovating at this point.
      Probably less insulting to the concept of the USA than whatever the fuck this is.

        I think the next president should tear down and start from scratch. Eho nlknows what kind of bugs that traitor has let his foreign ‘pals’ put wherever.

      The east wing was built in like 1902. It’s historic but it’s not super duper old and was rebuilt in the 40s to hide a bunker under it.

        Honestly my biggest issue with this is that it seems to be a pretty clear sign (in addition to the other blatantly obvious signs like various public comments, selling Trump 2028 gear on his website, etc) that he has no intention of ever leaving the White House, term limits be damned. He’s just not the type of person to do major work like that if he’s expecting to move out and no longer be able to enjoy it himself in a few years.

              I’m with you, the issue is doing it on a whim with no plan to the people’s property as he treats it like his own including his pathetic walk of fame.
