This is gonna be good 
Trump thinks he can just slap on some fancy columns and call it progress? Newsflash, Donnie: your ego doesn't qualify you as a good architect 
. And $250 million for a ballroom? Come on, that's like me buying a new iPhone every week 
. Can't he see that this whole thing is just a cry for attention? I mean, who needs a gilded arch when we've got real issues to solve in this country 
? Give me a break with the "classicism" and "narrative of authority"... sounds like someone's trying way too hard to be important 
. And what about the poor people who live around the White House? Are they just gonna be left out of the party because Trump wants his own fancy space? 
Not cool, Donnie.
Trump thinks he can just slap on some fancy columns and call it progress? Newsflash, Donnie: your ego doesn't qualify you as a good architect . And $250 million for a ballroom? Come on, that's like me buying a new iPhone every week . Can't he see that this whole thing is just a cry for attention? I mean, who needs a gilded arch when we've got real issues to solve in this country ? Give me a break with the "classicism" and "narrative of authority"... sounds like someone's trying way too hard to be important . And what about the poor people who live around the White House? Are they just gonna be left out of the party because Trump wants his own fancy space? Not cool, Donnie.
. What's next, a private movie theater or an indoor pool? It's all about Trump being Trump and showing off his money. Newsflash: the White House isn't a luxury resort, it's the people's house 
.
. We should be building for the people, not just for ourselves. It's time to get some perspective and focus on what really matters – like getting things done for the American people 
.
It's like Trump is trying to make the White House his own personal playground or something! 250 million bucks is crazy talk 
I mean, I get it, he wants to leave a mark, but can't we just stick to some good old American charm instead of going for this over-the-top classicism vibe? 
I'm also worried about what this says about our country's values. Is this really the image we want to project to the world? 
It feels like Trump is more concerned with impressing his own ego than with representing us in a positive way. 
Can't we just have some decor that reflects who we are as a nation instead of trying to recreate ancient Rome or whatever? 
. What really gets my goat is that he's ignoring the concerns of people who actually care about architecture and design - like the AIA, for example 
. It's not just about Trump's style or his desire to be seen as authoritative; it's about what this says about our values as a country 
. As someone who values inclusivity and diversity in architecture, I find it deeply concerning that Trump's vision prioritizes personal grandeur over the well-being of local communities and the democratic ideals that our nation was built on 
.
.
Trump's designs are stifling creativity and freedom in federal architecture. We need more than just grandeur; we need civic design that reflects our nation's inclusivity, diversity, and democracy
