“The National Trust for Historic Preservation sues me for a Ballroom that is under budget, ahead of schedule, being built at no cost to the Taxpayer, and will be the finest Building of its kind anywhere in the World. I then get sued by them over the renovation of the dilapidated and structurally unsound former Kennedy Center, now, The Trump Kennedy Center (A show of Bipartisan Unity, a Republican and Democrat President!),” posted convicted felon President Trump on Tuesday and just have to stop him there because L-O-fucking-L at him acting like John F Kennedy’s still alive and will be at the ribbon cutting when it doesn’t doesn’t actually reopen before 2029. Holy shit what a moron.
Continued: “where all I am doing is fixing, cleaning, running, and ‘sprucing up’ a terribly maintained, for many years, Building, but a Building of potentially great importance. Yet, The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a Radical Left Group of Lunatics whose funding was stopped by Congress in 2005, is not suing the Federal Reserve for a Building which has been decimated and destroyed, inside and out, by an incompetent and possibly corrupt Fed Chairman. The once magnificent Building is BILLIONS over budget, may never be completed, and may never open.”
“All of the beautiful walls inside have been ripped down, never to be built again, but the National ‘Trust’ for Historic Preservation never did anything about it! Or, have they sued on Governor Gavin Newscum’s ‘RAILROAD TO NOWHERE’ in California that is BILLIONS over Budget and, probably, will never open or be used. So, the White House Ballroom, and The Trump Kennedy Center, which are under budget, ahead of schedule, and will be among the most magnificent Buildings of their kind anywhere in the World, gets sued by a group that was cut off by Government years ago, but all of the many DISASTERS in our Country are left alone to die. Doesn’t make much sense, does it?”
Jesus freaking Christ. No need to look up whether the goddamned the National Trust for Historic Preservation would ever have jurisdiction or standing as a plaintiff in a case against the “RAILROAD TO NOWHERE” a high-speed rail link from Los Angeles to San Francisco that voters approved in 2008 but only one small section in between mid-size Central Valley cities Merced and Bakersfield is anywhere close to opening. You might also say it’s different from a ballroom in that it’s a significantly more complex project that dates back to when Arnold Schwarzenegger was in the governor’s mansion. Not to mention much more of a civic enterprise for the common benefit of all of the people of the state than a ballroom where Trump can host lavish, invitation-only parties like a Disney princess – without a disabled white West Virginian SNAP beneficiary commoner in sight.
His complaint about the railroad might be a little more valid if he himself had not pulled $4 billion in federal grants to further slow down its construction just because he could, the fat cunt.
Anyway Judge Richard Leon’s ruling is pretty solid. “Unfortunately for Defendants, unless and until Congress blesses this project through statutory authorization, construction has to stop! But here is the good news. It is not too late for Congress to authorize continued construction of the ballroom project. The President may at any time go to Congress to obtain express authority to construct a ballroom and to do so with private funds. Indeed, Congress may even choose to appropriate funds for the ballroom, or at least decide that some other funding scheme is acceptable. Either way, Congress will thereby retain its authority over the nation’s property and its oversight over the Government’s spending. The National Trust’s interests in a constitutional and lawful process will be vindicated. And the American people will benefit from the branches of Government exercising their constitutionally prescribed roles. Not a bad outcome, that!” the George W Bush-appointed federal jurist wrote, plainly anticipating exactly the kind of screaming and inability to cope above.
