That's what the point is....it's not built for the people... its built for the Rich people.....though WE are paying for it.....while we have all our underpinnings beneath us cut out from under us.

It's literally a Confederate monument to Classism...to Class War... it very much speaks of "Handmaids Tale" to me, a Ballroom for the "Commanders".

Its also bigger than the entire White House and will put it in it's shadow. Eclipse it..m Putin is loving this.....Trump wants a giant Throne room
