Trump on Monday indicated part of one of East Wing walls will come down to connect his ballroom to the residence. “That’s a knockout panel — you knock it out,” he explained."
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article312585121.html excerpt: In 1980, Trump acquired the historic Bonwit Teller building. He demolished the 1929 Art Deco building to build his namesake tower. Before the project began, several prominent residents expressed concern about the original building’s limestone relief panels, considered prominent works of art. Trump agreed to preserve the panels and donate them to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. But as construction continued, Trump changed his mind and had the panels demolished with the building, saying they had little value and were “without artistic merit.”
Apparently, those nasty texts were too much for the GOP to confirm Trump's bigoted nominee. Then again, they may have been too little.
It remains to be seen what Ohio will do with Trump's gerrymandering campaign. The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled multiple times in recent years that the state's congressional districts be redrawn to alleviate the rampant gerrymandering that the GOP has done. The current gerrymandered condition in Ohio hasn't been undone at all, even with the court orders. t would look very sleazy for Ohio to now conform to Trump and gerrymander it even more.
Embattled Trump nominee says he's withdrawing after losing GOP support excerpt: Trump nominated Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel, an independent agency that protects federal employees from prohibited personnel practices, such as retaliation for whistleblowing. A White House official confirmed to NBC News that Ingrassia is no longer the nominee for the job. Ingrassia had come under scrutiny in recent weeks after Politico reported that he a colleague had accused him of sexual harassment, citing three unnamed administration officials. In a new article Monday, Politico reported on a text chat in which Ingrassia allegedly sent messages saying that he had a “Nazi streak” and that Martin Luther King Jr. Day should be “tossed in the seventh circle of hell.”
Trump administration demolishing entire East Wing of the White House to add new ballroom excerpt: "The entire East Wing of the White House will be demolished “within days,” according to two Trump administration officials. The demolition is a significant expansion of the ballroom construction project from what President Donald Trump said this summer."
And perhaps the west wing also. Might as well tear all of it down and erect a Trump ballroom, casino, spa, and hotel. image:

Trump prods American cattle ranchers to 'get their prices down' amid tariff battle excerpt: "The Cattle Ranchers, who I love, don’t understand that the only reason they are doing so well, for the first time in decades, is because I put Tariffs on cattle coming into the United States, including a 50% Tariff on Brazil," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "If it weren’t for me, they would be doing just as they’ve done for the past 20 years — Terrible!" the post continued, adding "It would be nice if they would understand that, but they also have to get their prices down, because the consumer is a very big factor in my thinking, also!"
