[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (3 children) The east wing was built in like 1902. It's historic but it's not super duper old and was rebuilt in the 40s to hide a bunker under it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] madjo@feddit.nl 13 points 9 months ago (1 child) Still is historic and well-preserved. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 child) Aside from 80 years of constant renovation sure. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PearOfJudes@lemmy.ml 8 points 9 months ago (1 child) ngl I don't care about some old building but kind of want a society where thats the biggest problem permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Madison420@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago I'm with you, the issue is doing it on a whim with no plan to the people's property as he treats it like his own including his pathetic walk of fame. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 9 months ago Was historic. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Gumbyyy@lemmy.world 1 point 9 months ago Honestly my biggest issue with this is that it seems to be a pretty clear sign (in addition to the other blatantly obvious signs like various public comments, selling Trump 2028 gear on his website, etc) that he has no intention of ever leaving the White House, term limits be damned. He's just not the type of person to do major work like that if he's expecting to move out and no longer be able to enjoy it himself in a few years. permalink fedilink source parent
