They don't even have coherent plans yet... There's stairways leading nowhere and windows facing walls
The point was the demolition, I'm not sure why but someone has been talking to Trump non-stop about the ballroom to do it
Maybe it's some weird sexist thing, maybe it's just because they hate America... But the demolition was the point here, someone wanted to get rid of the east wing
Lmao yes, project 2025 is like 90% AI. The tarrif numbers were AI. Hell, if you look at one of the first executive orders, the one that un-recognizes trans people, about 3 paragraphs in it begins to correctly identify the difference between sex and gender for like an entire page
He wants to build a big monument to himself, and they won't let him be on Mt Rushmore.
So he's going to build this enormous monument to himself and attach it to the most iconic, most photographed building in America, so that any future photo will have the Trump Ballroom looming over everything, and they will remember him.
That's why I'm saying that IF (a big IF) we get out of this mess, the second thing the new president should do is order the destruction of that architectural atrocity, and rebuild the original East Wing, and make Trump pay quadruple out of his pocket for the whole thing.
I say it should be the second thing, because the first order should be to arrest Trump and all his henchmen, and send them to Gitmo for extensive interrogation, before they book it to the Argentina sanctuary he just bought that for them with taxpayer money.
Oh, for sure, that's definitely what Trump wants and tearing down that symbol of depravity will be a massive healing moment for the country
But Trump's mind is soup. He's not controlling anything, someone keeps talking to him about the ballroom so he'll repeat it for the cameras
I think he just generally doesn't want to acknowledge that he doesn't have permission from someone.
His brain is soup. He's out there talking about warning Hegseth about Bin Laden last year, he said 300 million Americans die every year to fentanyl, it can only good... He's not running the show
I'm sure that he also wouldn't want to admit he needs permission, but his mind is not functioning at a level where he can grasp details like that
And he keeps talking about the ballroom. Trump only remembers the last conversation he had, so someone is pointing him at the ballroom for some reason. We saw it when Kirk was shot... When asked for comment he said it was terrible and then launched into another speech about the ballroom
And whoever is pushing this has to know the plans aren't even close to ready. So they must have another goal
getting a secret hot mic on various crowd members at events like this would be invaluable, whether it was installed by the party in control of the state or some other entity.
They have concepts of plans.
