President Donald Trump schemed to keep his violent destruction of the White House’s East Wing hidden from the American public, according to author Michael Wolff.
Rather than weigh the consequences of erasing the 123-year-old building’s history, the president’s first concern was reportedly how to keep its potential destruction hidden from the public.
By the time White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Trump had changed his mind about preserving the East Wing, the building had already been reduced to twisted metal and rubble.
Can DC not yank the business license of the company doing the demolition without permits?
The White House invented a loophole out of thin air to avoid going through proper channels.
Doubtful. They could try but DC has basically zero political autonomy. They’re essentially an internal colony of the US.
Like, I want to hear the rant sure. But unless I can physically listen to it, who gives a fuck if the dude swears? He fucked kids, c’mon

Man that image is CRISP.
it’s “been official that this will be called the Trump Ballroom.”
While it will always be the Epstein Ballroom to me, when the Trump name becomes a humiliating stain on US history, wonder what they’ll rename it?
Fuck renaming it; raze it.
Yes. If Democrats get into the WH, they should start on day one. Incorporate the destruction of the Epstein ballroom as part of the inauguration.
Fuck norms, fuck the Tone Police, and fuck being doormats for the asshole Confederates.
They’d have to anyway. There’s no way of knowing if there is or isn’t listening devices or spyware built in. National security would dictate a full tear down I’d imagine.
That’s a necessary part of damnatio memoriae, along with removal of every occurrence of Trump’s name and image.

Imagine the incredible feeling of raw power the excavator operators must have experienced while destroying the White House though.
Would be funny if they were Canadian.
Or a Mexican immigrant
They used European equipment at least
Imagine the incredible feeling of raw power you feel driving your 2010 ford f150 to the same job 5 days a week 12hrs a day for the last 15 years, that is exactly what they experienced.
Raw $ falling into his pocket, kickbacks from the bribes paid by the company as trump donations.
But we have eyes, and memory recall? Is he missing one or both of these things?
Idiot. There are cameras all over the White House! Of course everyone was going to see your evil scheme.
I certainly hope there weren’t any bodies or documents of note in the East Wing prior to the demo…
Even without any of Epstein disclosures trump is insane, old, bitter and tired and should be removed. It almost seems to me that the democrats are complicit in keeping the trump flame alive. What does this tell us? The obvious answer is that kid diddling is non-partisan.
Hmm…I agree kiddy diddling is nonpartisan even if I quibble with your reasoning here.
Democrats are complicit because both parties are bought and paid for by the same donors.
I hope, one day, we can turn it into low income housing or a dog shelter… one can dream.
Assuming true:
I… weirdly am at least really happy that it was intentional destruction and not just complete and utter incompetence with tearing down a single exterior wall?
It was still complete and utter incompetence. Guaranteed they failed to properly preserve some historical artifacts. Because they didn’t have time, there was no visible presence of proper handling by experts. They probably strewed a bunch of asbestos all over the place.
So fear not, there was no sudden burst of competence here.
Oh yeah. They 100% destroyed a very countable number of historic arguments and important documents. And likely lost even more to the construction crew and whoever else was around taking souvenirs.
And yeah. Asbestos is 100% a concern and a LOT of people are likely going to have respiratory issues from the clean-up and just being in the area.
He should go ahead and tear the whole thing down, since the US government’s cooked anyway.
Tearing down the White House won’t change a damn thing about government corruption. But it sure is evidence of government corruption.
