Donald Trump actually destroyed a large section of America's White House to build a ballroom in his own honor. Incredible when you think about it.

He has also installed himself in the lead position at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts and renamed the Institute of Peace to the Donald Trump Institute of Peace. He even had his name installed on the building.

Of course we are a dictatorship.

It is always about Trump when Trump is involved with something.
The Kennedy Center is now a platform for Trump, and the honors were ok...but why did Trump feel the need to MC the event?
Because he is Trump.

The Epstein Ballroom is another debacle that he is doing, and his simps think it is great that he ruined the East Wing to do so.

I agree the WH needed a banquet room or something for larger formal events, but not his fking monstrosity that is actually larger than the WH.
Why?
Trump.

Trump wants his name on every building he can get it on. This Ballroom will be no different. This is his priority.

The empty Insitute of Peace building was relabled for some Trump peace event and a few temporary staff were hired for the event.

The ballroom will evidently be about double the size of photos released a month or so ago. No picutres of the expanded version yet. Architect was replaced, too.

Trump's next stunt will be to paint the big gray granite Executive Office Building west of the White House. He wants it to be white.

I would love to hear the conversation that got the architect fired. Can you imagine this architect explaining what gaudy is, how the size would dwarf the white house, how the aesthetics were all wrong? YOU'RE FIRED.
