Jaw-Dropping Cost of Trump's Tacky Renovation Plot Revealed

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump’s plot to repaint a historic 19th-century building white would cost at least $7.5 million, it has been revealed.

Ryan Erb, the construction operations and facilities manager in the White House Office of Administration, gave a rough estimate of how much it would cost to repaint the exterior of the gray Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) in Washington, D.C., during a meeting with the federal National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) on Thursday.

“We are planning to have about a 25-year life span for the paint,” Erb said, via The New York Times. “We are working with a third-party vendor to do all the appropriate testing.”

Trump’s plan to give the EEOB a fresh coat of paint is part of his broader effort to reshape Washington, D.C., in his tacky image, including constructing his gaudy White House ballroom and installing the so-called “Arc de Trump” across from the Lincoln Memorial.

It shouldn't cost that much. Is Trump trying to skim some money from the so called expenses?

1. $7.5 million?

That's 3 golf games! What a waste!

Luckily it's only taxpayer money.

2. You Have to Add in the Grift

That estimate is just the beginning. The Executive Office Building is a HUGE ornate structure. They’ll have to clean the exterior first. Ongoing upkeep will be a nightmare. Trump will declare that painting the building is ‘an emergency’ and he’ll award a no-bid contract to his friend Vinny who does work at Mar-a-Lago. Their incompetence will lead to huge cost overruns. That paint job will be up fifty million in no time. And it will cost twice as much to remove when Trump finally leaves.
