The National Trust for Historic Preservation warned that President Trump’s planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom would “overwhelm the White House itself,” which spans just 55,000 square feet.
He’s claiming you don’t need permission to demolish, only to build. If we’re lucky, this will be nd up like “the pit” in Season 1 of Parks and Rec
