Lol he can't find an architect willing to build the ugly fucking building he imagines.
Exclusive: President Trump has argued with the architect he handpicked to design a White House ballroom over the size of the project, reflecting a conflict between architectural norms and Trump’s grandiose aesthetic.
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.

Ofir Birenbaum, the creepy little zio is taking Cairo Takeaway to court. He turned up there with a news crew and tried to bait them into looking antisemetic. It backfired badly on Ofir because it was a creepy fucked up false flag thing to do and he's trying to blame the victims of his racism.
