Possible fate of Trump's ballroom

[SteveAitch]

It'll be made of the cheapest concrete slabs you can find, much like a Walmart.

RAAC?

Drywall.

You won't see much drywall because it will be covered with more golden gewgaws and curlicues than a pimped-out Pontiac.

Maybe it will be completed in his third term or after terms no longer become a thing and he has been declared Eternal President. Eventually it will feature his embalmed corpse that European leaders will be forced to pay homage to.

Why not, he's made the Oval Office look like the inside of a Southall Taxi.

After trying to stiff the contractor that did the demolition, will Trump be able to find a contractor to do the building.

History tells us that there is always someone stupid enough to do stuff for Trump.

After trying to stiff the contractor that did the demolition, will Trump be able to find a contractor to do the building.

This has been covered in a couple of the other threads.

The claim that the contractor that did the demolition wasn't paid is likely false. (There is no reputable source to support the claim, and given how recently the east wing was torn down, it is unlikely they would be expecting payment this soon anyways.)

However, at least some of the companies involved have taken steps to reduce their on-line presence, because of the resulting backlash. (This includes the company that did the demolition.)

I can see other companies that are contracted to actually do the construction might want to pass on it because they don't want the bad reputation that will result from being involved with the project.

I think the exterior of the ballroom will be completed sometime in 2026. Then the interior will require more funds than are being privately donated. But who knows?

Taxpayers will pay plenty over the years for Trump's massive ballroom, experts say - Roll Call

President Trump says his new ballroom will be privately funded, but White House observers say taxpayers will pay plenty.

The interior will be funded by Home Depot Black Friday sales on polystyrene onlays.

Weird, I am being denied access to the Home Depot website.

You don't have permission to access "http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ekena-Mi...Center-Onlay-Moulding-ONL32X09X01LE/202607728" on this server.

I predict he will die from some apoplectic occasion long before he ever trips the light fantastic in his soon to be tacky ballroom.

 

[Tero]

The next charismatic president who also likes junk food instslls a food court there. One floor, just like in a mall.

I predict he will die from some apoplectic occasion long before he ever trips the light fantastic in his soon to be tacky ballroom.

But that would be so sad; the very thought of him not being there to open the first ball with his signature dance move, while a full symphony orchestra plays YMCA(pre-recorde. Obvs) is beyond tragic! Nothing else could possibly match the beauty and splendour of all that gold so perfectly!

Well they've already got the outdoor seating area.

 

[ZiprHead]

Considering the backlash the company that demolished the east wing got, I'm hoping no construction company will actually agree to take on the project.

They will need a food court for when Trump starts hiring out the White House as a function centre.

 

[Norman Alexander]

It will remain a soggy pile of rubble for years, a tribute to Trump's "building skills". At least until he is six feet under in an unmarked, lost grave. Then a completely new design will emerge that will probably look a lot like the old building but much more to scale and class for the property than the Big Beautiful Ballroom.

I heard they're altering the plans to make it three times bigger so if they print out all the Epstein documents that incriminate Trump they'll have enough room to store a tenth of them.

So a bigger stage and a bigger bathroom needed in it then?????

If you stick a toilet into any sized room it becomes a bathroom. Perhaps that's what the next president should do with the place, just stick a toilet in the center and call it the Trump Bathroom. Charge tourists ten bucks to poop in there and give all the money to the poor.

Make it a gold plated toilet to drive the point home.

And instead of toilet paper they can use documents from the Epstein files.

And a nice portrait of Trump.

Right in the middle of the bowl. Better yet make it one of those shelf toilets, so you can admire your work and get a commemorative photo..
