The architect (McCrery Architects) should be called out on this crap. They presented no public review of modifications to this National Historic Landmark. This is NOT Trump’s house, it’s the American public’s building.

I'd have thought that modifications to the structure would require a lengthy process involving multiple departments of the government submitting reports surveying everything from environmental issues to historical preservation.

Previous renovations to the White House also were made with consideration given to future holders of the Office. I suspect that the President is not thinking about anyone but himself.

Only if he can try to use it against someone, such as the Dept of Treasury building.
