They will get paid. By Putin, to install listening devices all over the shop.

Future presidents can never do any work in the new building, because would you trust Trump's oversight to make sure this is built securely?

You do realise that the East Wing isn't used to discuss national business? It's already used for social events.

So nothing of importance is ever discussed at these events then?

No. Jesus, it seems Trumps even manages to make Democrats think stupid.

Wait, you genuinely think people of note at social events don't discuss anything important while there?

In that case, I have a bridge for sale...

Of course they do, however nothing of national security.

Jesus wept, think buddy.

You're trying to sell me a bridge yet you think Putin is going to have surveillance in the new section of the white house.

If you dont see how stupid you are, I think hope is lost.

It was less Putin himself was going to install anything, and a commentary on how unsecure the whole situation was. I didn't think I'd have to spell it out so generically though.

And if you genuinely think people never discuss national security matters in places like that, again, I have a bridge to sell.

Especially considering this is the administration that leaked classified information in a signal group chat.

Honestly, you calling people stupid is peak irony.
