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.

      To be fair, it wasn’t the Canadians. It was the British. Canada wasn’t a Canada in 1814.

      But yes, we’d be happy to come help disinfect that building with fire. I think when your civil war kicks off, torching that building early on and then rebuilding it after the sane people take over would make great imagery.
