      How is he going to build his ballroom now? Draw it on a White House map with a Sharpie?

      this is just insane! 🤯 I mean, it’s not like we didn’t see some shady stuff coming, but firing the whole agency? C’mon now

    4. MysteriousPepper8908 on

      How much you want to bet they’re never going to see a cent for the work they’re done already like all all his other contractors? Serves them right for working with a known convicted con man.

      So we just ripped down a whole wing of the White House for nothing? Gotta be some grift behind this.

      You elect The Apprentice host for president, you get the Apprentice show in real life.

      If you do a little searching around reddit you can find I recently did an analysis that demonstrates the big ass ballroom can be built with Legos^((tm)) for a mere $18.8M (that’s using the standard 2×4 Lego bricks; I suppose it will cost a little more if you want to include some of the spiffier Lego bricks.)

      POTUS can fire anyone he wants?! What a shitty system of government! What ever happened to the idea of balances and checks? I guess it was just an idea but not fully implemented.

      Is the White House going to be a pile of rubble for his whole administration?

      Seems fitting but it doesn’t make it any less sad.

      He bulldozed the East Wing because he knows he’s dying and he wants to leave a mark.

    12. SeparateSpend1542 on

      People are confused. He’s firing the government oversight that would have stopped him. Contractors are still on the clock and now have no oversight.

      Imagine a Russian asset creating a wh wing. All this shit needs to be investigated

      Back in 1993 Bill Clinton fired [seven people in the White House Travel Office.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_travel_office_controversy)

      There were accusations of financial improprieties, though the director was eventually acquitted. Republicans saw that as an excuse to give those jobs to Clinton donors or friends.

      The republicans kept investigating this until it got brought into the Whitewater investigation that eventually led to Ken Starr’s becoming an independent council.

      This ’scandal‘ was investigated until 2000. Rush Limbaugh brought it up whenever he went into the litany of ‚Clinton crimes.‘ Travelgate!

      Hypocrisy doesn’t work on the right. Their shamelessness gives them an immunity to it. The Clinton’s have to be shaking their heads, though. Newt Gingrich would have jizzed himself dry imagining the impeachment investigation if Bill had done anything like this.

      He’s going to “find” something wrong with the rest of the White House and move everything to MarALago. Watch.

      “The commission reviews proposed designs for memorials, government buildings, *coins*, medals, and privately owned properties in certain parts of Washington.”

      He doesn’t want anyone being able to oppose his plans for the ballroom, the Arc de Trump, or putting himself on our money.

    22. Stereo_Jungle_Child on

      He’s going to pocket the $300 million donated and force the taxpayers to foot the bill for the actual building.

    23. Weird-Independence79 on

      You can bet anything illegal, immoral, unethical, and petty is in his everyday playbook. How much more are the American people willing to tolerate?

    24. Veearrsix on

      Clearly no one actually read the article, he did not „fire“ the construction crew, he „fired“ the Fine Arts Commission who has an advisory review role for White House modifications, which means it provides recommendations on design and aesthetics but does not have final approval power. Its review is legally required for major projects.

      Edit: Arguably, this is worse. More slashing government agencies because he doesn’t like rules.

    25. m0j0r0lla on

      He is gonna stiff the contractors like he has his entire life. Unfortunately, the American tax payer is the *contractor* in this nightmare.

    26. DootyMcCool2000 on

      Can’t have any reputable channels around if you wanna funnel half of that money into Trump’s fortune.

    27. south-of-the-river on

      He will never build the ballroom and just systematically destroy more and more landmarks under the guise of development. All that money will go into his pockets and the pockets of the weird old billionaire circle that Epstein and Co had working on their eternal life projects.

    28. sexisdivine on

      How much you want to bet nothings going to get built and even if it does it’ll be shoddy/need constant upkeep/fall apart within a year. 

    29. IShouldChimeInOnThis on

      Can’t have a bottomless slush fund if people can SEE the slush fund.

    30. Additional_Hippo_878 on

      I’m beginning to think he could well be a total wrong’un. Jussayin…

    31. Cleavon_Littlefinger on

      Obviously a person with as limited capacity for criticism and who happens to be as horrifically tacky and garish as this dipshit would want to eliminate anyone advising him on matters of design and aesthetics.

    32. LilLebowskiAchiever on

      It’s almost November and there is no way they can frame up and build a replacement before winter hits DC.

      The planned 90,000 square foot ballroom is 1 1/2 size of a standard American football field. The earliest this evening starts is late next spring.

      By then, all the funds will be embezzled into “consulting fees” for his favorite flying monkeys.

    33. Ausrottenndm1 on

      Basically he’s stealing the money and it won’t be done, when he realizes after countless upcoming attempts at a 3rd term it ain’t happening, he will leave it incomplete and say peace suckers

    34. timmy6169 on

      So they probably were against every single thing he is doing, planning or otherwise which constitutes insubordination thus needing swift removal to keep any red tape from existing. Which in turn gives him a green light to create any stupid idea he wants in any place with unlimited funds.

      Are we winning yet?

    35. PenguinSage on

      Remind me, what happened to that wall he wanted to build in his first term? Not weighing in on how I felt about that one but seems like abandoned over budgeted construction projects are this man’s MO

    38. mantequilla69420 on

      For those saying they won’t get a cent – Just remember, the money isn’t coming from Trump, it’s coming from the Government… I.E you… So you sure as hell bet those contractors will get paid

      The tattered blue tarp that will hang on the side of the White House for the next three years (dear God) is an appropriate symbol of our democracy
