As reported by the NY Times and Adobe Chronicles, Trump says he will not live in the White House if elected. He requires a complete renovation of the White House or his own palace. He requires a $100 million dollar ballroom just to entertain foreign guests. Why would Trump make such an opulent request? We will attempt to bring you into the World of Donald J. Trump so you may hopefully begin to understand.

(9,350 posts)I thought the President was legally required to live in the White House? I know Joe Biden's situation is different from the President's, but I thought he was legally forced to move from Delaware to Washington, D.C. because he had to reside in Washington, D.C. So, is the President allowed to live in a residence other than the White House? I can see why the Secret Service would want the President to live in the White House since their security apparatus is most likely in that house. However, former Presidents are able to live in houses other than the White House.

(63,221 posts)He is so classless and tacky. But just the way he is with every one of his other flaws, he thinks the opposite. He thinks that his lifestyle reflects the height of sophistication and elegance.

(111,256 posts)I didn't think too much could be worse than Limbag's place but this one is, every surface encrusted with gilt, marble, and a really odd collection of statuary. It's a stage set, just like the "cottages" of Newport, RI, undoubtedly where he got a lot of his ideas on decor. Or day-core.
None of it looks like a place I could spend 5 minutes in, let alone a Sunday morning reading the Times. The glare off all that marble would get to me very quickly. I think even Mad King Ludwig was a little more restrained.
He's not going to like the White House, at all. For one thing, it's an old brick house. The only reason it's white is a coat of paint applied and kept up after the British burned it in the War of 1812. Interior walls aren't marble slabs, they're paint or paper. Furniture is genuine antique stuff, none of that gilt encrusted "inspired by Louis XIV" crap, which means some of the upholstery is original and a bit threadbare. Oh, no, the White House is OLD MONEY and he's going to hate every bit of it, it reminds him of a club he'd never get to join, not even if he had as much money as he says he has.

(20,683 posts)Holy crap. Everyone knows that facility is completely loaded with security devices. NO way can you install that anywhere else. Plus, they can't be looking around for POTUS: He has to be in his cage where everyone has access to him, where communications are totally secure, where heads of state are secure....
Maybe we finally have his reason to quit. Maybe this is it, folks.
He's done. Stick a fork in him.
