It's a construction zone at the moment.

The General Services Administration is completely overhauling the HVAC system, repairing the South Portico steps on the South lawn, painting, replacing carpets and curtains, and updating the IT system (President Barack Obama called the internet connection "sketchy" in places). According to CNN, they are also doing structural repairs to address literal leaks and flies on the wall:

He is talking now, as he says,..because...


“This is my penance for having created a man who has become a monster, and I’ve spent 30 years feeling bad about it,” he told CNN ahead of the second Presidential debate. “Now I feel like I’ve got to show there’s nobody behind the curtain.”

When pressed about whether there was anything he found appealing about Mr Trump, .......

“This is a man who I really believe lacks a conscience at the deepest level, so there really was nothing.


He has since said he bitterly regrets the way he portrayed the former reality TV star, saying the glowing depiction is a piece of fiction and amounted to himself having “put lipstick on a pig”.

On top of this, he said if he could go back in time and rewrite it he would opt for the title The Sociopath.


Bold is mine..

Keep laughing at him, keep pushing him out...let's expel this cancer from the body politic. One step at a time, we will take our country back.

that of Trump and Tony Schwartz, is that, apparently, there was no confidentiality agreement. I'm a ghostwriter myself. ALWAYS have a confidentiality clause in my contracts and know that my clients could sue the shit out of me if I ever revealed my authorship. Don't know how Schwartz pulled this off.
