Trump’s redesign of the White House is entering the next phase: After the construction of a new ballroom caused a sensation, the main building is now to be expanded. According to the plans, the US President’s residence will become a 900-meter-tall luxury skyscraper.
“In countries like China or Dubai, there are hundreds of white houses bigger than our White House,” Trump ranted during a speech. “America must once again have the best, biggest, tallest, and whitest White House ever! Future presidents will thank me—if America ever needs another president after me.”
Trump apparently commissioned the construction work on his own initiative and without a building permit. The first 27 of the 200 planned floors of the building, which will be called the “Trump White Tower,” are already complete.
“It will be the tallest tower in the world,” Trump said. “Taller than the Burj Khalifa in Denmark. Not even God lives in a building that tall.”
After the completion of the Trump White Tower, the US President plans to devote his attention to the White House garden, which is to be converted into a golf course.
Meanwhile, the first problems are emerging during construction: Structural engineers doubt whether a 900-meter-tall White House can even stand securely. There are also reports that the construction workers are suddenly all speaking different languages.
