Joseph Stalin planned to expand Red Square by demolishing several historic buildings, including the iconic St. Basil's Cathedral. The primary goal was to create a vast, open space that glorified the authoritarian state and Stalin's personality cult. The architect who objected was put in a gulag.
Even the architect Trump hired to build his massive addition to the White House objects to the president's vision. The two have argued about the size of the 90,000-sq-foot project that would dwarf the mansion. @jonathanreports.bsky.social @ddiamond.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees.
The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.
