White House ballroom project has become costlier and larger than originally anticipated
Donald Trump encouraged those working on the construction of his new White House ballroom project to disregard traditional permitting, zoning, and code requirements, according to a new report.
Since announcing the project in July, Trump’s ballroom has become larger, costlier and more destructive than initially thought – raising concerns about whether the president is following historical rules when it comes to a White House addition.
The ballroom’s capacity, initially thought to be 650, has been raised to 900. Its cost has nearly doubled from $200 million to $350 million. Its construction, which Trump initially said would not interfere with the integrity of the current White House, has led to the destruction of the East Wing.
I expect they’ll probably follow code anyway? Because you know as soon as dipshit is out of there, they’re going to have to inspect that thing for safety reasons. And the contractor probably doesn’t want the reputation of building absolute crap.
On the other hand, if he’s as good as picking construction contractors as he is at picking lawyers or cabinet positions, well…
I’m sure it will be built by a contracting company incorporated just for this purpose. And after this, it will be dissolved. They’ll have no reputation to defend.
