If the monstrosity is actually built, I’m betting that it will only be used a few times. And someone at one of these events will report some of the issues with the building. Given that it’s Trump, it will be hideously gaudy. But there will also be odd things wrong with it. Like, for some reason there will only be one bathroom and the gold-plated toilets clog every other use. And half the building will be freezing while the other half is sweltering, and the only thing that can be done is to alternate which half is doing what.
Come January 2029
when – hopefully – a Democrat is sworn in, they will have 8,000 other Trump
fuckups to fix, so this ballroom will probably just be used for storage for six
months or so. Eventually, they’ll get a
reliable building inspector in, who will almost immediately condemn it. Like they’ll discover that these load bearing
“marble” columns are just plywood with some cheap marble pattern stickers. Given the shoddy construction, the only way
it could cost $300 million is if the people building it were paid $20 a minute,
or half the money for it “mysteriously disappeared.”
So this Democrat
President will – after going through proper channels – have the building torn
down. The Republicans in Congress will
decry the destruction of this “Wonder of the World,” but the President will
hopefully utterly ignore them. Once it
is gone, they’ll dust off the blueprints of the East Wing – give it some
updates – and build a New East Wing. And
hopefully it – and a new garden – will be ready for the President’s second
inauguration in January 2033.
That’s one
possibility of what will happen to the trump ballroom. The other is that when – take your pick of
any 100 impeachment worthy scandals – finally takes hold and it looks like
he’ll finally be held accountable, Trump will “have a stroke” and will resign
for his health. And the first thing
President Vance will do is pardon him, not because he did anything wrong, but
to stop the meanie democrats from tormenting this sick, old man who, by the
grace of God, is out playing golf just days after he was on his death bed. But Vance is not Trump, and I’m betting that
whatever corrupt schemes are involved with the ballroom won’t immediately
transfer over, so it might not even get built and will just remain this blot on
the landscape until the Democrat elected in 2028 eventually has the time to
just build a new and improved East Wing.
Personally, I’m
hoping for that second option, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
