(Ex)- Presidental centres or buildings

The Kennedy Center board of directors, or in other words Trump stooges, will try to block the name removal in the court.
 
And of course a giant tarp was put up, because the big guy couldn't stand to have video of the actual detox of the Kennedy Center be available for Kimmel's use. You know...like bullies everywhere can't take it.

There was a shot from the side that showed a letter coming down. I’m sure Trump has dictated that there must be no sign of the repairs to the building. I think they should leave the ugly scar there for all to see.

That sounds reasonable, so I find it very hard to believe.

Nah, they should impeach him and throw him in jail.

Goddamn, that is an eyesore. Ugly modernism. It looks like something you wedge into a port on a laptop.

Looks like 1970s/1980s concrete only façade construction. Not particularly attractive. Probably will look better with more green around it.
 
Trump is using a $500M no-bid contract to build his White House ballroom

White House officials last year secretly awarded a no-bid contract worth up to $500 million for the construction of the East Wing ballroom in an unusual arrangement that sidestepped typical contracting procedures designed to control costs, according to a copy of the agreement obtained by The Washington Post.

The White House routed the contract through the Executive Residence, the document shows, an office that is exempt from rules that require federal agencies to solicit competitive bids and disclose details to the public. The office is typically responsible for routine repairs, entertainment expenses, and the purchase of furniture, art and other items for the executive mansion.

The confidential contract with Clark Construction, along with related correspondence and records obtained by The Post, reveal for the first time how the Trump administration bypassed norms last summer as it set the ballroom project in motion.

Records also show that President Donald Trump was directly involved in negotiating some costs for the project.
The East Wing contract is the latest example of the administration turning to no-bid deals to hasten a Trump-style makeover of the nation’s capital, which has included handpicking firms to upgrade Lafayette Square, the public park next to the White House, and to renovate the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Since no funds have been allocated by Congress for this project, why would any contractor with an ounce of sense expect payment? And, of course, given the fiascoes of the Reflecting Pool and the Kennedy Center, why would anyone with an ounce of sense expect a quality job?
 
A Washington Post-Ipsos poll this month asked more than 2,600 U.S. adults whether they feel “enthusiastic,” “satisfied,” “dissatisfied” or “upset” about the trio of projects in Washington. The nationwide survey also asked whether people think Trump is trying to “make Washington more beautiful” or has a different goal in mind.

Here’s what they said.

I can imagine Trump being shown this chart. "Look at the column on the right. Looks just like the Reflecting Pool!"
