It's not a ballroom, it's his Castle.

He's recreating Versailles and thinks he's Louis XIV.

He's changing the reflecting pool to his Fountains.
The Kennedy Center to rebuild it as Opera Garnier.
Building his own Arc de Triomphe.
He's slapping his name on everything in DC.
He wants to take over the DC golf courses as his Royal Gardens.

I figure he'll want a tower soon or a way to modify the Washington Monument.

And while I’m at it..I think there’s some reason he’s not defacing Mara Largo..first, it’s an historical site and I don’t think the zoning laws or his contract with Palm Beach county that allows him to reside there allows it. It’s not residential, as I understand it, it’s a private social club.

I hope we can elect someone courageous enough to tear it down while he’s still alive.

Why can't djt put big huge vertical 24 carat solid gold letters on all four sides of the Washington Monument.

Spelling out his name ,...

T.
R
U
M
P

If each solid gold letter costs $1 million dollars. That would be $5 million dollars per side of the Wash. Tower. X4 = $20 million dollars. That would be. Peanuts. The US taxpayer can certainly pick up the tab to make/keep Grumpy Grampppy Dotard happy.

He might be able to see that from all his golf courses in Washington DC area. He would be elated and proud

loses in 2028. And that's why he's so obsessed with it as it's being built...he's afraid it won't get finished by the next election. It's planned to be his hunker bunker. And who (when you think about it?) would remove him -- even if we Dems win?
