Donald Trump is facing legal action over the demolition of the White House’s East Wing, part of a $300 million plan to build a new ballroom on the executive grounds.

A Virginia couple, Charles and Judith Voorhees, filed an emergency motion in federal court on October 23 seeking to halt the project, alleging that it violates multiple federal preservation and planning laws.

    I still can’t get over how cartoonishly evil trump is. Dude is literally destroying the white house and tweeting AI videos of himself shitting on the US flag, the Constitution, and the American people. He is literally destroying our culture and heritage and he hasn’t even finished with his first year in his new admin. He isn’t the antichrist. He’s the devil made flesh.

      I love how cartoonishly evil, dumb and uncharismatic he is, and americans were like: “let’s see what he has to offer a second time.”

      History lesson in the future has to be absolute wild. People will imagine some well spoken George Clooney like person and then they see a video of Krang talking about grabbing pussy.

        Honestly though I do only feel I learned how dumb and ridiculous and drug-fuelled and self-destroying the Nazis were after I left school. History class took them much more seriously than people did at the time.

          Yep. I absolutely hate how Hitler is portrayed. He’s always made to look scary. Trump isn’t scary by any stretch of the imagination. That’s why so many people missed the similarities. Trump/Hitler are just unstable. History should teach Hitler as unstable, not fearsome. Apparently there’s a trend with young men to develop some kind of admiration for Hitler precisely because of how “tough” he’s made to look in history class. Absolutely appalling.
