#Trump is finishing what the British started. Despite promises that the #WhiteHouse would be unaffected by the addition of a $230 million #ballroom, the #historic #EastWing has in fact been demolished. The images of the site are so jarring that the #Treasury Department has reportedly ordered its employees to stop taking photos of it.
…If the destruction of the #EastWing is a shock, the #money that’s paying for it might be even more of a #scandal. The #WhiteHouse, eager to assure Americans that their tax dollars have not been diverted for a #vanity project, has emphasized that the #ballroom is being financed by individuals & major #corporations. Instead of going through a process to obtain & disburse federal funds, #Trump simply asked companies his admin is supposed to be #regulating to write checks [ #bribery / #extortion].
