(And without the credulous “changes course” language.)

From Law Dork, yesterday:
Photos obtained exclusively by Law Dork on Tuesday show that President Donald Trump is completely demolishing the East Wing of the White House as part of his stated plan to build a ballroom befitting his standards on the White
House grounds.
Although Trump earlier had said the ballroom
"won't interfere with the current building," this week it became abundantly clear that was a lie.
And, this dramatic change to the governmental building, Trump says, is happening care of private money and outside of any governmental
- and transparent — funding process.

4. The grooming worked

My theory is Putin is behind Epstein. They have groomed DT for years. I think Melania is a plant. The White House is looking more like the Kremlin every day. The Kremilin has ballrooms and gold galore. The Epstein victims are scared. The Russians kill anything that gets in their way and call it suicide or an accidental window fall. Come on America, we need to take our country back.

7. With the heavy equipment and obvious lack of care with the demolition, the main part of the WH will be damaged.

Ceiling cracks, wall cracks, foundation damage because it is an old building. That will give Trump the excuse to tear the whole thing down and build a vulgar version of Napoleon’s Versailles as a monument to himself.
