Die reißen echt Teile des White Houses ab, ohne das vorher in irgendeiner Form genehmigt haben zu lassen (ist historisches Staatseigentum)
Sieht sehr danach aus, als plant Donaldo mit einem längeren Aufenthalt
White House communications director Steven Cheung on Monday shared a screenshot from Smithsonian Magazine of construction at the White House during the 1950s, in response to what he called “pearl clutching” after images of the demolition surfaced.
The photo he posted was taken during the Truman administration, when the White House underwent a complete reconstruction after engineers discovered it was “structurally weak and in danger of collapse,” according to the White House Historical Association.
Construction has always been a part of the evolution of the White House,” Cheung wrote on X. “Losers who are quick to criticize need to stop their pearl clutching and understand the building needs to be modernized. Otherwise you’re just living in the past
Robert K Sutton, former chief historian of the NPS, told the BBC that there is always public concern when the White House goes under construction.
„There has been controversy with anything going on related to the White House pretty much since it was built,“ he said.
The NPS has guidelines and a rigorous review process for any construction. That includes things like reviewing in-depth plans for a project, vetting the architect and designs and reviewing the costs.
That – he said – hasn’t been done here.
„This building is so important. It’s considered, I think, to be the most important executive building in the world – yet we just don’t know what’s happening and I think that’s very inappropriate.“
He said the project is being privately funded by „many generous Patriots“. Their identities are unclear still as the White House has not released any names of who might be funding it.
