It’s one of the ultimate bits of Trump Derangement Syndrome: The East Wing was already demolished. Why not simply let the new ballroom be built? TDS. So, the loonies sued to stop construction, got friendly judges to cooperate, and basically left a big pile of dirt
Court Rules Construction of Trump’s Ballroom Can Proceed
The construction of President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom can proceed, a federal appeals court ruled late Friday night. The judgement came just 24-hours after a lower court judge continued to block above-ground rebuild on the site of the former East Wing.
AP reports a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit put on temporary hold the order by U.S. District Judge Richard Leon halting part of the $400 million project.
The ruling marks a substantial victory for the president in his effort to redesign the storied American structure.
Construction is now expected to continue until the next hearing, which is due to take place on 5 June.
Trump demolished the East Wing last fall to build the massive ballroom in that space.
Seriously, there needs to be another hearing? Just end this idiocy. Put a stake in its heart. Let it be built.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation later sued to block construction, arguing the president had overstepped his authority by moving forward with the project without first getting approval from key federal agencies and Congress.
Maybe yes, maybe no, but, the building is already torn down, what do you want to happen? Leave a big pile of dirt there? The taxpayers are not paying for it. It’s all private donations. Move on. See a competent psychologist who is not a left wing loon.
Let trump build his stupid ballroom. It’s a war not worth fighting. If America still exists, the next President can have it demolished on day one. All the better if our first Sun-King is alive and aware enough to watch it.
Mr trump has proved that the only limit on Presidential powers is their own thoughts and morals!
The next President will pull all the Louis XIV gilding from around D.C. and pry the trump name off the people’s buildings. His dauphin(s) will be persona non grata except in the courtrooms.
Teach wants his King to have a ballroom
King Trump needs a suitable ballroom within to dance. Teach loves yo der King Trump dancing to the King’s fav disco song YMCA”,
What foes it tell us about Trump and his donors that they consider a ballroom more important than housing for vets?
Instead of 100 billion Iran war you could house the 40000 homeless vets for 10 billion
@ 2000000 dollars per vet.
The TDS bull shit from Alias and and Dowd is almost humorous.
Neither of our ignorant liberals has an idea as to why Trump is building a “ballroom”. The purpose is to have a room for state functions, and to have adequate bathrooms. Obama would bring in circus tents and outdoor potties.
King Donny wants a royal palace, trimmed in “gold”, so that he’ll be remembered. He’ll be remembered alright, LOL.
