Donald Trump is facing legal action over the demolition of the White House’s East Wing, part of a $300 million plan to build a new ballroom on the executive grounds.
A Virginia couple, Charles and Judith Voorhees, filed an emergency motion in federal court on October 23 seeking to halt the project, alleging that it violates multiple federal preservation and planning laws.
Well, the East Wing is demolished now. Just goes to show you how effective all this hand wringing is. You have to stop him, forcibly.
Once the building is a pile of rubble, he can just point at the pile of rubble and say well now we got to rebuild it I guess, oh and by the way I’m the one who gets to pick how it’s rebuilt. Ironic this is not a bad metaphor for the state of the country.
No. If courts decide that the demolition was illegal, he has to put it back exactly the way it was. It’s not a free pass to “rebuild it the way he wants”.
Tell ya what Chester, I’ll take great big ol’ deep breath and hold it until that happens.
You may wanna contact Guinness world records. It’s gonna be a while.
And what happens when he ignores that order too?
Lol I would bet my next paycheck that this will never happen.
What if he’s not, though? What if the courts ordered that the building must be rebuilt the way it was? I don’t think that’ll happen, but I wouldn’t mind if it did.
Nah, peaceful protest will totally solve this.

Where’s Arthur Dent when you need him?
