    It’s a monument to Trump. A horrendous scar on America. And that’s sort of why I hope it sticks around, to serve as a lesson to America. This is what happens when you squander your democracy.

      My idea for the Ballsroom: “Twoface”. Put up a curtain dividing the building in half, and each is in a different style: Trumpian, and pre-Trump. People who tour the building criss-cross the curtain, seeing the shitacular sensibilities of Trump, pitted against good taste.

      Could put the Russian embassy in there to make it just that little bit more of a reminder

      I mean, if this was a Greek tragedy, I bet people could think of some ironic circumstances for balls to be held in that building…

        Or they could do a French-themed party. Trump could re-enact the Bal des Ardents with his inner circle, cronies, and all their closest friends, and entertainment provided by dancers dressed as trees, lit only by torchlight for ambience. It would be the hottest event ever held in the White House. An unforgettable extravaganza.
