This says something about Trump.
Back under Clinton, the White House lawn needed to be redone for reasons. (Obligatory fuck lawns)
The National Parks service said it would take a few years to complete and Clinton didn't want to do it because he didn't want the look of a torn up lawn in front of the White House to be a news item.
W was told the same thing and he made the same decision.
Obama was told and he was the one to finally do it. I don't remember if it made any sort of news outside the typical inside beltway noise but a lot of folks kind of gave him props for doing that.
This kind of construction isn't going to be pretty and the fact that Trump is allowing it...I mean, it's sort of Obama-esque but we all know it's Trump's ego running the show.
It would take video evidence to make me believe the NPS actually signed off on this.
Allowing it? NPS didn’t ask to add a ballroom to the White House. Trump is tearing down part of the White House because he’s adding a grand ballroom, same way he paved over the Rose Garden. Literally no one asked him to do this.
Trump plans on being around long after construction is complete
