In October, Donald Trump traumatized all true patriots by tearing down the East Wing of the White House.
The move, he claims, will clear the way for a ballroom for holding large events that are typically held in tents on the South Lawn.
Two months later, it increasingly seems that such discussion was a wasted effort, as the chance this ballroom will actually be built is rapidly disappearing.
Trump keeps changing things, driven by a short-sighted impulsiveness that keeps pushing him to expand the scope of the project.
But as the White House hasn’t even scheduled meetings with the National Capital Planning Commission to start the process, meeting that deadline appears unlikely.
