In a demonstration that he never intends to leave the White House, at least not alive, Donald Trump bulldozed a piece of White House history to make room for what he claims will be “the best ballroom in the country.” Unfortunately for him, the National Trust for Historic Preservation decided to sue him for breaking the law and destroying an essential part of the People’s House.
Ah but national security! Seriously, that's what they are going to justify it under:
'In its filing, the administration included a declaration from the deputy director of the U.S. Secret Service saying more work on the site of the former White House East Wing is still needed to meet the agency’s “safety and security requirements.” The administration has offered to share classified details with the judge in an in-person setting without the plaintiffs present.'
I'm glad to see this & hope it inspires a lawsuit over the wholesale destruction of national parks, nature preserves, seashores, rivers, & wilderness--the property of all Americans--by grifters who see wild nature as real estate & nothing more. It seems to me that these spaces are also Constitutionally protected.
[The lawsuit] also alleges Trump is violating the US Constitution, “which reserves to Congress the right to dispose of and make all rules regarding property belonging to the United States”.
Not only that -- environmental destruction should be a crime in the World Court.

I can’t wait to read the testimony of the contractor who did the demolition.
Took them long enough considering President Trump "allegedly" violated the United States Constitution.
