McCrery Architects usually designs churches. A former mentor has called the design "bonkers" and said porticos usually go in the middle of a design, not a the end. Not to mention that ballroom is oversized, perfect for inviting people who can give "donations" to POTUS, which evidently is legal now.
We are doomed. The mentor of Trump's churchy architect calls the hasty White House ballroom design “bonkers” before adding, “putting a portico at the end of a long facade and not in the center is what one might say is untutored.”

Thank you for calling it ACA. @nyt uses Obamacare all the time, especially in headlines. Three days ago: "Higher Obamacare Prices Become Public in a Dozen States."
Also, who really cares about her and her bread knife. Only people who live in the house. The rest of us are busy.
@NYT wasn't able to ignore that. Best headline is from USA TODAY: "Trump posts AI video of him dumping poop on us. I can't believe I wrote that." | www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...
