This is what the United States Liar-in-Chief said in July about the construction of his $250 million 90,000-square-foot ballroom at the White House: “It won’t interfere with the current building…. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of.”
The demolition of the East Wing of the White House started yesterday.
In my search at 7:30 last night for a photograph of the East Wing that was in the public domain so I could share it on my blog, I ended up looking at what Wikipedia had to say about . (By the way, I didn’t find a photo I had the right to use.) I discovered that Wikipedia’s page about the East Wing had already been updates. It was worded in the past tense, as follows:
“The East Wing of the White House was a two-story structure that served as office space for the first lady and her staff, including the White House social secretary, White House Graphics and Calligraphy Office and correspondence staff. On the ground floor, the East Wing included the visitors’ entrance and the East Colonade, a corridor connecting the body of the East Wing to the Executive Residence. Along the corridor was the White House theater, also called the family theater….”
The East Wing of the White House was completed in 1942 to cover the underground Presidential Emergency Operations Center.
I have no words.
Well, actually, I have a lot of words, but I cannot put most of them in print.
Can anyone say, “Madman” or “Dictator?”
Trump has accomplished what the terrorists on September 11, 2001, were prevented from doing.
In case you think this cannot possibly be true, please check out the photographs and reports from six online news resources:
