Rent out the suites for all kinds of nefarious activities.
All happening at the White House.

but those people are way ahead of the pack. Wednesday was Malcolm Nance day but I missed him.

Yes of course, Trump will have cameras everywhere.

...

I just finished reading a novel by Blake Crouch ("Snowbound"; honestly not a very good book - formulmaic and no where close to his better stuff like "Dark Matter", "Recursion" and "Upgrade" or the "Wayward Pines" trilogy) and in that novel a major plot point is how organized crime had set-up a sex-slave operation at remote lake cabin in the Alaskan Bush, and was kidnapping women to be held as sex slaves and enducements to get rich people (read - RICH WHITE MEN) to fork over Millions in admission for weekend trips where they are permitted to "do whatever you want", but warned they cannot kill the women. The story is not worth going into greater detail and the plot holes are as big as Alaska itself, but the central premise is very clearly either influenced by Jeffrey Epstein's island or was prescient in ways that I shudder to consider.

The larger point is that it would be the least surprising thing in the world to me to find out that the REAL reason Trump wants to supress and hide the Epstein files is that there was no so much sex acts and debauchery naming him (everyone already KNOWS Trump is a sexual deviant, rapist and creep anyway) but that there was financial consideration exchanged between he and Epstein that profited Trump at the expense of ruined lives and abuse of teenaged girls. Trump is a convicted sexual predator and rapist. He BRAGS about it freely and on tape. He is fighting with everything - including disinforamtion, frivolous prosecutions and vengeance seeking, and even tanking the nation's economy to hide his involement being told chapter and verse.

Just imagine the stress on your heart and life if you KNEW you were guilty of things so heinous and depraved that THOSE THINGS bother you more than what is ALREADY public record for your sick behavior. The truth will eventually be known and Trump is going to be a case study in worse-case results for both political campaigns and for executive administrations for hundreds of years - but the man himself? He will become a sick pervert in the shadows of history - scorned and mentioned only as something to AVOID and never allow again.

That would explain why they are holding out on releasing even a redacted set of files.

It's basically a Trump hotel, and likely will be branded as such

In Washington did Donald Trump
A Pleasure Dome Erect.

a stately pleasure dome decree...

But above ground

we tell him he's the richest person in the world. He's achieved his goal.

Mr. trump, RJ May, Christian Zeigler, Matt Gaetz, Roy Moore, et. al... all perfectly reflective of the "Republican Family Values" tour they so often preach with open mouths and empty hearts.

When his term is over.

Worshipping Money and enjoying all it can buy!!!!

The Musk Colosseum!
Grand Old Pachyderms stomping Gimps and Democrats!!!
Live!! On X every Friday night!!! Tune in to win a trip to Mars!!!

or is he planning to sell condos to his contributors? Where is the Congressional majority?

I believe the Ballroom is upstairs to use the vaulted ceilings, while the offices are on the 1st floor.

I don't want to hear any talk about repurposing the building; tear it down, burn it down, do whatever it takes to remove that blight. Rebuild the East Wing starting Day One of the new administration.

Also rip out the Panera patio that destroyed the Rose Garden and plant flowers and bushes there once more.

And blow up the freaking Arch de Tyrant if it's built.

Teen beauty Pageants, coordinated by newly pardoned Maxwell.
The upstairs underage Sex Pods, will be reserved for the wealthiest of wealthy to Play.
“The Boys are back in town”, Jeff lives on through his largest financier's.
For special guest, a blowup doll of Charlie, and the blow up tube is strategically located, for the guest and his teen of choice, to reach extreme ecstasy levels, the likes of which has never been seen.
People say, with tears in their eyes.

There are windows running into each other. Stairs that go no where. Doors that can't possibly be opened....err maybe they are windows. You can't really tell.

The people around pedo Trump have to stop ascribing logical reason for his whims, wants or plans. He's fucking crazy. He's off his rocker. He's in crazy land and nothing he says, wants or does is reasonable or logical.

Stop ascribing reason to an insane person.

I said “what aren’t they telling us?” Because no way a balloon would ever cost that much. Will it comply with building code?

It shouldn't cost that much, it's just a big garage ...4 walls and a roof.

He has to balance out the UFC fights.

…inauguration. Not one brick or board left standing. Tossed into the sea with BinLadin’s corpse so no souvenirs or memorials can be made from the rubble.

Wilson made his case so passionately that I was quite persuaded.

As regards it being a “waste” there is already plenty of evidence that Trump uses substandard building methods, and everything is veneer.

might set up an armored, guarded, permanent luxury residence and basement bunker in that 'ballroom' space.
Even when DJT will no longer be officially president, he may try to set up a 2nd Mara Lago (or his own, bigger 'golden white house') next to, but inaccessible to, the next presidential administration's residents.

… chairs, sell the chandeliers, sell the kitchen equipment and or donate it to a worthy cause, rebuild the east wing as it was, rebuild both of Jackie’s Gardens, give away that ugly patio furniture and the ugly
concrete pavers can be sent to a concrete plant and ground up to make new concrete. And send Donnie
and those that contributed to that nightmare the bill.

...there also be seances and orgies in the ballroom...?

...I wish I was rich...

For his 'full service' top tier pedophile donors
