How much is trump's terrorist attack costing taxpayers?

I see that you did not answer Lf’s questions, Wrong Way Walter.

Why is that, WWW?

Dems are melting down over a beautiful new ballroom that cost the taxpayers not one cent.

Big beautiful ballroom? Have you seen the plans? Nobody else has. Trump has a history of making gaudy, ugly buildings. He has no taste and no respect or understanding of history.

Agreed. He's going to paint it gold and name it after himself just like he wants to do with the Kennedy Center.

Trump just announced a new construction project amid ballroom blowback

The president detailed upcoming renovations on social media.

Trump has faced fierce backlash from critics after tearing down the East Wing of the White House for his $300 million, 90,000-square-foot ballroom, despite previously pledging to not “interfere” with the historic building’s existing structure. The White House has maintained that Trump and individual donors, including companies such as Amazon, Apple and Google, are funding the construction.

In a post on his Truth Social platform early Monday, Trump pointed to upcoming renovations at the Kennedy Center, including its exterior columns, painted in white, which replaced what he described as “the fake looking gold paint that was there for years.”

“Many major improvements are being made, including seating, carpeting, wall coverings, ceilings, chandeliers, stages, heating and A/C, etc., to what will soon be the finest Arts and Entertainment Center anywhere in the World,” Trump wrote, calling the prominent hub the “new TRUMP KENNEDY, whoops, I mean, KENNEDY CENTER.”

Trump also said the center will remain fully open during construction.

“I am doing the same thing to the United States of America, but only on a ‘slightly’ larger scale!” he added in the post.

Don't forget the "arc de tRump".
 
The abuse of language such as this are very costly.....this is not a terrorist attack......that is a lie.
 
How much this change will be charged to the federal budget we have no idea, we dont deserve such info. There will also be almost certainly increased yearly operating costs....we can probably omit the almost certainly....this is a massive space to heat and cool.....and there is the matter of the lost office space to account for.

If someone burns down your house, can they say it cost you nothing, because they paid for the matches and gasoline? Of course not. The cost is in the destruction of the house, and also the stuff inside the house.

trump's terrorist attack destroyed a third of the White House. There was not enough warning to get stuff out, so the American taxpayer also lose the stuff inside the East Wing that belonged to them. trump is blocking any accurate estimate, but that all appears to be about a billion dollars.

But if that terrorist who burned down your house offered to build you a new house, to his liking, that would make up for it right?

The lack of warning allowing stuff inside the house to be destroyed would be a problem. But even beyond that, someone else does not have the right to steal from you, and then decide what you get to own afterwards.

I keep coming back to the question, why did it have to happen so fast? Why not remove everything from the building first? Why not run the demolition past the relevant oversight? Why not do a controlled archaeological dig on the demolition? Why not take samples of the fixture?

trump does not even have a realistic design for his replacement plan. The current design has stairways going nowhere, and misaligned windows. It is something thrown together quickly to excuse the terrorist attack.

You have no point. It was the people's house and Trump ,as usual, did what he wanted. He will rename it Mira Lago North. We have agencies that are charged with keeping historical buildings intact or if altered, the changes are to be in the mode of other historical buildings. A big gold ballroom will look way out of place.
You do not care. If he keeps all his club championship plaques on the walls, ypou will approve.

I'm sorry you're so upset... I think it's nice that people will be able to eat lobster and not have a portapotty a hundred feet away... Look at the entire picture .... Don't just react because you hate the president.

It just gets worse!
 
Why did they have to tear down the building with only 6 hours notice? You would usually tear down a building right before replacing it, so you can get maximum use out of it. The architectural drawings were thrown together in a day, and are completely worthless. They show staircases going nowhere, and claim to be much bigger on the outside than on the inside. It will take months to come up with a real plan.

It is almost like trump wanted to destroy something in the East Wing. The East Wing is where files were digitized. Some files were lost, so that might be it. But I think it is the files that will be digitized in the future. Now all files have to be sent to a newly purged Pentagon department of all trump loyalists.

Half of N.Y.C.s skyline of massive building were developed by Trump. Every piece of real estate (including of course worldwide
golf courses) are simply spectacular. I've seen the pictures and plans of this new ballroom many times over, and you would have
seen them as well if you ever had the common sense to watch FOX TV or NEWSMAX. And that ballroom is by far the most
spectacular one I've ever seen. By the way, you speaking of gaudy ugly buildings must have been referring to obama's legacy
library in Chicago that will most likely never get finished, and is about as ugly as Lurch's avatar.
