White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom

[Chesterton]

Sure its possible that Trump did have something truthful in mind. But having completely lost the benefit of doubt, any utterance should be granted an up front truth value of zero and does need to be verified.

There shouldn't be any work being done. Until the get done with the shutdown. There's no excuses not to pass Obama care. If Trump can waste money on other countries, that he wants to bail out.

Obama care has already been passed. So what are you talking about?

Shirley you know he was talking about the main house? Because in July the White House said they were going "to replace the current East Wing", and Trump yesterday posted "Completely separate from the White House itself, the East Wing is being fully modernized as part of this process, and will be more beautiful than ever when it is complete!"

But if you still think he's lying you can bump this thread when he destroys the White House and I'll apologize to you.

Of course he knows, and his name isn't Shirley. Lol.

Hey, we were due for an “upgrade”. We have to spend money on the ultra-powerful once in a while.

It's being paid for by private donations

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said during an executive order signing in July.

The "Current building", the "existing building," is being touched.
No matter how much he tries to walk it back, he lied.

I'm reminded of the movie Airplane

You read the OP, and I know you read my post #19 because you gave it a rating (Prayers? ), yet you say he lied. He's just inarticulate. It's obvious what he was saying.

So they claim.
Why would they need to tap private donations when this Congress has turned the power of the purse over to Trump?

It is obvious. He bluntly said it "would not touch" the existing building. The east wing and the west wing (in July, when that statement was made) were part of the existing building. The Oval office is in the White House, just as The Office of the First Lady is an entity within the White House.

He lied - again, and you seemingly support it (thus you have my prayers).
I agree that he is inarticulate, he's also dishonest and has proven so time and again. This is merely another example.

So taxpayers money isn't spent on it?

You're nitpicking about his words in spite of the logical evidence. The "existing building" obviously refers to the house itself, not the wings. The title of this thread is "White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom". In July the White House released a press release which said they were going "to replace the current East Wing". Simple physics - two physical structures cannot exist in the same place at the same time. There was no lie.

I am still trying to figure out what the big deal is.

I think some people hate Trump so much they can't stand the thought of him dancing in a ballroom.

From Wednesday:

“So I just wanna say, thank you all. Uh, simply, behind me, so, is a knockout panel. This panel, the next time you come here, will be opened up and gone. No – uh, no problem with any of the surrounding areas. These, this room will be fixed. This will be like a cocktail – the whole floor will be cocktails or pre-briefings or whatever it may be, lots of different things. So the entire floor. So you come in, the entire floor sets up. We didn’t have to do any of that. Usually, you have to do that. You need different rooms to go along with a ballroom.”

If that was anyone's grandad there'd be a family conference about what to do.

Have you seen the way he dances? I can't stand the thought of it either.

TEAR DOWN THE BALL!!!

I can't stand the thought of Peter Garrett dancing. No one can.

Did you know that he was a minister in our Labor government (equates to the Democrats) between 2004 and 2013? My son in law stood against him in the...2010 election I think? And lost badly.
