Public tours of the White House have been suspended indefinitely because of planned construction on a massive ballroom expected to start next month.

While cancellations happen frequently, a hiatus that could stretch months or years is rare.

The White House has canceled tours for September, and it’s unclear when the long-standing tradition will resume.

The party room is an obscenity as is the paved over rose garden. Tear down the former and restore the latter. And the faux gold leaf should be crated and shipped to the dipshit himself, with love.

This is the PEOPLES HOUSE… not another Trump shit hole.
Plus…I’ve read it would be at least two years before they could even break ground on this monstrosity. The plans, permissions, and permitting has not even begun.
A bullshit AI rendering is not an architectural plan.

Dear Leader has sketched out all the plans they need on White House napkins!

(I’m not entirely sure if this is sarcasm. It might honestly be true.)
