WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump railed against a federal judge’s decision on Thursday that continues to block above-ground construction of a $400 million White House ballroom, allowing only below-ground work on a bunker and other “national security facilities” at the site.

 
What should happen is Trump is ordered to pay to rebuild the East Wing, with him having nothing to do with it.....assemble a panel of experts.

But that is highly unlikely to happen.
 
Upgrading the bunker system was likely a good idea.....I have been told that it was outdated....a problem.

Not sure if that could have been done with the East Wing in place....but it was built with the East Wing in place I am pretty sure....I once knew when it was built but I forget and am not interested in looking it up.
 
I think it is true that the East Wing had been neglected, needed work, and at least some reconfiguring to make it better suited for operations.
 
The entire episode sparked a public outcry condemned by many including The NY Times who declared, “Evidently, New York needs to make salvation of this kind of landmark mandatory and stop expecting that its developers will be good citizens and good sports.”

Trump, the ultimate poor sport has never felt any sense of civic duty.

Is it any surprise today that art and history eluded Trump. For this philistine, profit has always been more dear to him than a greater cultural good.

Trump told us who he was as a businessman and public figure- ready to renege on an agreement if it becomes inconvenient, no regard for the knowledge of experts and a blatant disregard for the truth.

 
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump railed against a federal judge’s decision on Thursday that continues to block above-ground construction of a $400 million White House ballroom, allowing only below-ground work on a bunker and other “national security facilities” at the site.

This judge is either a Trump hater or a stone cold idiot. In his order he states:

Leon said that below-ground work on security measures is exempt from his order suspending above-ground construction. Government lawyers have argued that the project includes critical security features to guard against a range of possible threats, such as drones, ballistic missiles and biohazards.

He's fine with Trump building a bunker there, but says he can't build a building on top of it. That makes ZERO sense. It was okay that in the past presidents to gut the White House to remuddle it. But god forbid that Trump do something like that, and using private donations rather than taxpayer money.

I see. All judges who disagree with Trump are corrupt.

The only "outcry" has been from Trump haters. The rest of the public doesn't give a shit.
 
Sorry. Everyone who is a liberal is an evil being. That better?
You're not sorry, you're pathetic.

That aside, no not every liberal is evil. If I had to guess, this judge simply hates Trump for one reason or another and saw this as an opportunity to smack him down. His initial ruling to stop the project entirely was overturned on appeal with the appeals court remanding the order back to him saying he couldn't stop a national security project. So, this idiot judge simply narrowed his ruling, and it will go back to the appeals court to be smacked down again.

Also, since when does a lowly district court judge decide national policy and what the executive branch can and cannot do on something clearly within their purview? Asshole district court judges have far too much power, conservative or liberal. A single unelected judge should not be deciding national policy of any sort whatsoever.
