There you go. The Roberts' supreme court is the weakest I've seen in my adult life, genuflecting to the MAGA abomination.

On March 4, days after the start of the #war with #Iran, #Trump personally negotiated the price of concrete [?!?!] to be provided by one of Clark’s wholly owned subsidiaries, according to a summary of the terms that notes his involvement. The summary indicates the price, initially more than $47 million, dropped $2.3 million during the negotiation.

After signing the #EastWing contract, Clark officials notified the White House that the company planned to award #NoBid deals to at least 11 subcontractors for demolition, abatement, excavation, fencing & other services, according to copies of correspondence obtained by The Post. Two of those subcontractors are Clark subsidiaries.

The role of the Executive Residence “does not include maintenance or repair involving structural building elements or major utility systems for those areas, which are handled by GSA or NPS,” acc/to the memorandum, which expires in 2029.
…Clark’s internal construction cost estimates rose from $200 million in July 2025 to $600 million by March 2026, WaPo previously reported.

“I would certainly expect them to compete a project of this size & complexity,” said Anthony Costa, a former GSA official who oversaw complex government real estate projects during a career that spanned four presidential admins.
The estimated #EastWing construction cost has tripled since last July, when the project was first announced, with [at least] half expected to come from #taxpayers, WaPo previously reported.#Trump #law #ballroom #TaxPayersMoney #GovernmentWaste #oversight

Competitive bidding is generally required at most federal agencies. Experts said the Executive Residence is exempt from those rules, & the president has legal authority to hire companies of his choosing to make changes to the executive mansion & the surrounding grounds. Those experts said soliciting bids would have ensured the best price for #taxpayers, especially given the size & cost of the #EastWing project.

The #EastWing contract is the latest example of the admin turning to #NoBid deals to hasten a Trump-style makeover [ick — Mar-a-Lago face] of the nation’s capital, which has included handpicking firms to upgrade #LafayetteSquare next to the #WhiteHouse & to “renovate” the Lincoln Memorial #ReflectingPool.

The confidential contract with Clark Construction, along with related correspondence & records obtained by The Post, reveal for the first time how the #Trump admin bypassed norms last summer as it set the #ballroom project in motion.
Records also show that Trump was directly involved in [badly] negotiating some costs for the #EastWing project.#law #TaxPayersMoney #GovernmentWaste #oversight #landmark #UShistory #UrbanPlanning #architecture

The #WhiteHouse 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 & disclose details to the public. The office is typically responsible for routine repairs, entertainment expenses, & the purchase of furniture, art & other items for the executive mansion.

#WhiteHouse officials last year secretly awarded a #NoBid contract worth up to $500 million for the construction of the #EastWing #ballroom in an unusual arrangement that sidestepped typical contracting procedures designed to control costs, acc/to a copy of the agreement obtained by WaPo.

Five months after the demolition of the White House’s #EastWing, #Trump claimed that the project to construct a massive #ballroom & a bunker in its place would cost up to $400 million & that private donors would pay for all of it.
“This is taxpayer-free. We have no taxpayer putting up 10 cents,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on March 31, describing the project as including bomb shelters & major medical facilities.#FactCheck #TrumpLies #scam #fraud #GovernmentWaste #TaxpayersMoney

…The #NationalTrust …alleges that the #Trump admin violated the #Constitution’s property clause, which authorizes #Congress to oversee property on #FederalLand.
The National Trust’s lawsuit names Trump & other admin officials, including at the National Park Service [#NPS] & the General Services Administration [#GSA], as defendants.#law #WhiteHouse #EastWing #ballroom #HistoricLandmark #USHistory #conservation

Trump’s desire to “go big” with the project has put him at odds with architect James McCrery II, the people said, who has counseled restraint over concerns the planned 90,000-square-foot! addition could dwarf the 55,000-square-foot mansion in violation of a general architectural rule: don’t build an addition that overshadows the main building [especially that main building ffs].

#Trump wants a bigger White House #ballroom. His architect disagrees.
Trump has personally argued with James McCrery, the architect he handpicked to design a #WhiteHouse ballroom, over the size of the project, reflecting a conflict between architectural norms & Trump’s “grandiose” [#tacky AF] aesthetic, acc/to 4 people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal conversations.

Hitler's cabinet was chaos, he played them all off each other to stay on top, and I imagine the dying mind of Trump is trying to do the same.
As expressed by the physical destruction of a third of the White House, this is a 'smash and grab' and they're using audacity to get away with it.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/23/retribution-jonathan-karl-book-trump-cabinet
