AFP's sugar-coated euphemistic spin on Rapin' Grampy's Hitler Ballroom Bunker is nothing short of disgusting.

1). "which has thus far been undertaken without the usual byzantine vetting procedures for changes to Washington's built landscape." Almost makes him sound heroic, right? And THANK YOU AGAIN, John Roberts, for telling him that "rules" are for chumps, but NOT for him! WE LOVE YOU CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS! MMMMMWAH! BIG SMOOCH for you!

2). ""We are using onyx and stones that are incredible," he recently told a press conference dedicated in part to the war in the Middle East." So, we're in a war in the Middle East and in a press conference "dedicated to it in part," Grampy starts stroking off over his ballroom. No biggie, right? I mean, this fuckin' ballroom shit is IMPORTANT, you tree-hugging woke "reefer toking" hippie!

3). "The ballroom project -- one of the most ambitious undertakings at the White House in over a century..." OOOH. He's "ambitious." Not ambitious enough to do the fucking job he was elected to do, but when it comes to Hitler Ballroom Bunkers, the man has no peers.

4). "Eager to leave his mark on the US capital,..." yeah. he lifted his leg and sprayed his scent all over it. He's so eager!



US military building 'massive complex' beneath White House ballroom project: Trump

Trump speaks frequently and in great detail about the construction work, which has thus far been undertaken without the usual byzantine vetting procedures for changes to Washington's built landscape.

"We are using onyx and stones that are incredible," he recently told a press conference dedicated in part to the war in the Middle East.

The ballroom project -- one of the most ambitious undertakings at the White House in over a century -- has continued to grow in scope, with its privately-funded budget doubling from $200 to $400 million.

Eager to leave his mark on the US capital, Trump has also renamed an iconic performance venue as the "Trump-Kennedy Center," and plans to build a grand arch in Washington inspired by the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
