SCENE: somewhere in Putin’s compound near Sochi.
PUTIN to OLIGARCH 1: “I tell you, he’ll do anything. Anything I say.”
OLIGARCH 1 to PUTIN: “Sure, he’s done a lot. But there have to be limits — you’ve got to be careful ...”
PUTIN to OLIGARCH 1: “No, I mean it. I’ll bet you a million dollars. If I say the word, he’ll do it.”
O1 to P: “How about … bulldoze the White House?”
P to O1: “Hand me the phone.”
(someone brought this to life in quaoar’s most recent Russian Stuff Blowing Up, IIRC).

1. Of course they should. Trump tore down the ballroom in the east wing so bulldoze

his tawdry shit.

[Jack Valentino]

2. It would be a huge waste of funds to destroy it afterwards...

I'm sure we can find an appropriate use for it, without spending more money to get rid of it!

4. I disagree

Its the new Reichstag.

[ThoughtCriminal]

3. I say - Turn it into a REAL "Ballroom"

I figure filling it up half way with 3" pit balls would require about 200 million balls.

5. Trials

I think it would be great to hold the trials for all of them in the Ballroom

[LostOne4Ever]

6. Turn it into a food pantry for the poor

Not only would that turn a symbol of greed into one of Compassion but I can’t imagine anything that would piss off Trump more than HIS BALLROOM helping poor people!

[Crunchy Frog]

7. They'd better, but I fear they won't.

[Shrek]

8. It'll be renamed and possibly redecorated

But the administration will be quietly grateful for the facilities and space.

9. other -

This is a large construction project with not much of a plan. They will not actually build anything.
